Division Round Playoffs - Who Ya Got?

Saints over 49ers - Even though the 49ers defense is stout against the run, they're average against the pass. The grass field might slow the Saints down a tad, but in the end, look for a costly turnover from the 49ers due to playoff inexperience...and oh yeah...Alex Smith is their QB.

Saints 38 49ers 24

Tebow time ends in New England. Look for Welker to have a big game as the Broncos focus too much on Gronk and Hernandez. Ochocinco might even get another TD in this one. The Pats defense is weak, but Belichick is a football mastermind and can find a weakness in any opponent.

Patriots 42 Tebows 10

Baltimore and Houston as far as defenses go are just about equal statistically speaking. Yates looked pretty good against the Bengals and Flacco is very inconsistent making them fairly equal. Foster and Rice - equal. Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter, and Owen Daniels versus Boldin, Smith, and Dickson - equal.

Texans 17 Ravens 13

Green Bay and the G-Men. It came down to the wire in the last meeting. Rodgers is coming off a two week hiatus and Flynn showed us that proper execution of the offensive game plan is the recipe for success...so is it really Rodgers??? Would Rodgers be just as effective in a different system, playing for a team such as...oh...I don't know...say...the Buccaneers? Just sayin'! Both teams are cold weather teams, the Giants defense is better as well as their running game, receivers are fairly close talent wise, and both QB's have Superbowl rings. Sounds like another close one down to the wire.

Giants 35 Packers 34

This was the first wildcard weekend since 2006-2007 playoffs that the "wildcards" were all knocked out. We have the eight division winners left to battle it out. That year 3 of the 4 divisional games were decided by a field goal.

I'll stay with that premise and say...

Saints 24 49ers 21
Patriots 38 Tebows 10
Ravens 13 Texans 10
Green Bay 31 NYG 28

I think the Pats and Saints are the only ones I'm really confident about (BEWARE BETTORS...fade my ass:)).

I wouldn't be shocked to see the Ravens or GB go down on Sunday.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the Ravens or GB go down on Sunday. After looking at the opening spreads a little more closely I definitely agree with your predictions. I think the Giants and 49ers definitely cover.

I still think Houston has a shot. One thing I have learned is never to bet against my Pats, but also never to bet against Tebow. I will just leave that game alone and hopefully just have fun watching the Pats spank the Broncos. Everyone talks about getting Tebow'd, but how about getting Gronk'd

Overs in the Packers game my only bet of the week. Sit back and cheer on the post season fantasy team.
