Divisional Round Predictions

Re: Divisional Round Predictions

I like the Cardinals, Vikings, Colts and Chargers.

Which means the Saints, Cowboys, Ravens and Chargers will win.

How do I know this? Because I'm always 1-3 in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Only one of the teams I like actually wins, which I'm guessing will be the Chargers this week. (Last week it was the Cardinals)

Book it...

Saints
AZ has been there before but their D is awful and I think the Saints D will actually tackle, defend and do football moves.... Sharper will show you he should have been in the DPOTY convo as well.
Saints will show how they copied the AZ late season tank method....they run more then you would think and it will keep AZ's O off the field.... The Dome will rock and they will party like it's 1999.. like they usually do

Dallas
Vikes have struggled to run and Favre looks old again.. The Dallas D will have 6 to 8 sacks and Favre will refuse to come out leading to a comedy of errors and a chorus of boos. Childress gets put in a headlock by Brett when he tries to take him out the game.

Ravens
Any other team would be wise to sit their star QB after clinching the #1 seed. Anyone but the Colts. Peyton has won another MVP which once again turns him into a throwback 1980 Heisman winner who stinks when the lights are on. Colts lose a close one and ESPN does a one hour special asking why there are rules in place that let a team blitz the MVP of the league.

Jets
Don't ask me why I picked the Jets. I see them as a Cowher led knock off from the 90's. Great D, heavy run and a QB who makes you nervous when he drops back. Philip Rivers is good until the playoffs start. If he was playing the Colts he would win easily... but against a blitzing D he is trash in the summer on a long weekend..aka HOT GARBAGE! LT will get hurt in pregame and spend the whole game memorizing his excuse on why they should have won.

Re: Divisional Round Predictions

I think Cowboys will win vs the Vikings. This defense is playing pretty well lately and their O line is mashing. Vikings have some good talent though. Comes down to the wire, but I think the Cowboys get an early lead and manage to hold on.

Saints will blow out the Cards at home.

Echoing Ruthless, Sanchez won't get it done. Rivers will find his targets that aren't blanketed by Revis and win fairly easily.

Everyone thinks the Colts will stub their toe. Not me. They come out firing on all cylinders. They will force Flacco to pass to win, but will succeed unlike the Cheaters. Colts win comfortably.

Re: Divisional Round Predictions

Arizona 34 New Orleans 27
Arizona. New Orleans finished with some very shaky wins before their final 3 losses. They can apparently go into a funk. They haven't played a meaningful game now in 4 weeks. Kurt Warner's experience will overcome.

Minnesota 24 Dallas 17
The week of rest will give MIN the advantage. They finished the season with a meaningful game and came up big against the Giants. AP will eventually wear down the Dallas D. Percy Harvin will give MIN an edge in STs play.

NY Jets 24 San Diego 16
The Jets, having the strongest ground game in the league, combined with SD's poor run D will translate into lots of problems for SD, problems which they won't be able to solve in the air as Reevis will shut down half the passing game by himself.

Indianapolis 31 Baltimore 17
Manning will shred the Baltimore secondary, unlike the lame effort by Brady. Without those same turnovers they got in Foxborough, the Ravens D will eventually wear out and a hobbled Flacco just won't be able to overcome.

Re: Divisional Round Predictions

Here's the Chris Berman version ... :P

Arizona 26 New Orleans 25
New Orleans has 3 TDs and two safeties. Zona, down 7 at the end gets a 25 yard TD pass from Kurt Warner to make it 25-24. Then a botched kicked attempt turns into scoring pass for 2 points by Neil Rackers after a desperation lateral.

Minnesota 15 Dallas 11
5 FGs for Minnesota. With under a minute to go Dallas, down 15-3, scores a TD and makes a 2 point conversion, but fails to convert the onside kick.

San Diego 37 NY Jets 34
San Diego has 4 TDs, a FG and 3 safeties. Tied at 34 on the last play the Jets miss a long FG which is fielded by a San Diego player. In the wild ensuing return one of SD's linebackers has the presence of mind to drop-kick from 35 yards out. It converts and the game is over.

Indianapolis 17 Baltimore 15
This game ends up being a play-for-play replica of the regular season matchup.

Revis can't cover Gates, who will hurt the Jets the most down the seam. And if they give Gates a ton of attention, passes to Sproles out of the backfield all day long will kill them. Malcolm Floyd on one deep route will be enough to throw the Jets d into disarray. They usually go for it early.

Everyone came up big against the Giants. Matt Moore looked like Marino and put up 41 on the Giants D. They gave up over 40 points in 5 losses this year and packed it in early this year on D.

I like Dallas because of their domination of the Saints in a must win game in the dome. I hate Romo but they are rolling right now.

The Jets have good LB's too.... it's not just Revis. They are good all around on D.. it won't be as easy as you think. They have nothing to lose but the game.. Chargers will be tight once again.

Re: Divisional Round Predictions

if the steelers would of just.......

cardinals over the saints,
I dont mind the saints, but other than a few big blowout wins against a down N.E. team and them beating up on the new york tems, they have not overly impressed me, the defense is still suspect and i expect the cardinals to put points up and win in a shootout, i think it will be the best game of the week again.

colts over the rats,
I still just dont think the rats are that great, they have a tremendous run game, and because of it they hit the jackpot on the first paly of the game, they were up 21-0 before new england knew what happened, the colts will not make dumb mistakes like the pats. Manning will play like Ben, determined to win a super bowl with good play, bc rememember manning was horrible in the playoffs the year they won the super bowl.

vikings over the cowboys,
this is one i am not to sure of, i hate the cowboys like i do the rats and pats, so that is why i am saying this, i really do not know though

chargers over jets,
the chargers are due, this is their year, they will beat the colts in the afc championship, and it wont be a colt choke it will be the chargers being better..the charger defense is its achillis heel but their offense willl make up for it..
