Saints at 49ers - Last week every home team won. This could be different. I think, as probably everybody else has said, the 49ers certainly do not score enough points. The Saints did not punt once last weekend. I know the Lions defense can be hit or miss, but records like that should not be set against playoff caliber teams. San Francisco in my opinion is anemic. Had they not made a comeback on my precious Eagles in Week 4 I do not think they would have made it this far. However, I view that game as an Eagles collapse and not a 49ers vaunted effort.the Saints can be porous at times, but they have a more amazing office than their defense is a sieve. In other words, opposites. Drew Brees and his mole, Marques Colston and his injuries, and the Lightning Bug Darren Sproles break open a close game late and the final score will not look that close. Saints win.
Broncos at Patriots - And so the 2011-2012 clock for Tebow time expires. Don't get me wrong, I believe Timmy will look good in defeat. Whatever the reason was for them losing to the Patriots last time, they will lose much differently. The Patriots can make some quick under the gun decisions to alter and adjust their gameplan. Despite a good defense, Tom Brady will show why he is the best quarterback in the game. I do believe this should be a fun game though. I will root for my prediction to be wrong, though. Patriots go on to host the AFC championship game, a game in which all of shitty New England will leave looking visibly upset to the winners of...
Texans at Ravens - The Texans looked fantabulous against the Bengals. They actually crippled the Bengals. I think there is no stopping a host team playing in a dome...which is why the traveling dome team (with injured, young, and nonplayoff experienced players) will lose to an outdoor defensively vicious team that has one week to rest. I see the Ravens forcing turnovers so that a Ray Rice led offense will wear down the vaunted Texans defense. Houston will play valiantly and gain valuable experience for a much more storied run next year.
Giants at Packers - Please...the best team in the league hosting a game after a week off? Now, the last couple years,the number one seeds in the NFC have lost in their first shot...including the Giants as well as last year's sixth seed Packers knocking out first seed Atlanta. History shan't repeat itself again. No way no how. The Giants may be hot right now, but they will end up a hot mess. Jacobs and Bradshaw will show why they were part of the 32nd ranked rush attack. Eli will also prove to me once again that his magical (and impressive) Super Bowl win was a fluke. I bet at least 4 different receivers for Green Bay score touchdowns. It will be like the Lions versus the Saints, but not as good. Packers win.
The rest of the playoffs? Saints over the Packers and the Ravens over the Patriots so that I may have a chance to winsome kind of consolation to the two craptastic fantasy seasons I endured this year.
