NFL Divisional Playoff Game Picks

NFL Divisional Playoff Game Picks


3 out of 4 this week
Before I get to my picks I want to send out positive thoughts and vibes and I ask for those who read this to do the same. This is for a class guy and Viet vet, Chris Mortensen who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer. Since I work mostly from home I watch ESPN during my lunch breaks during the NFL season. A significant amount of my info for these picks come from C Mort and ESPN.


Also: R I P Ted Marchibroda.

There will be cold in the open stadiums but weather doesn’t seem too be much of an issue for this weeks games, except in New England.

All these games have a good potential to go either way and they should be good games.
Saturday
Chiefs (11-5) Patriots (12-4) Forecast: cold and possible wind may affect passing and kicking.Chiefs have a tough D, and Smith is smart with the ball but Maclin may be out. Their run game should help in the cold.Gronk has knee/back issues, Edelman is back for Boris’ patsies. Chiefs keep rolling (just a gut feeling).
UPDATE: Maclin will play.

Packers (10-6) Cardinals (13-3) Rematch: Cards won 38 – 8. Score will not be as lopsided this time. MissK’s Pack has guys back and a couple out. They looked better, not great, last week. But the Cards aren’t the Redskins. Cards are tough all around and rolling. Cardinals at home.

Sunday
Seahawks (10-6) Panthers (15-1) Rematch: Panthers won 27 – 23. Wilson & Beast & the D are tough. Cam & Olsen & the Cat’s D are tough too. Hard game to pick. Panthers at home.

Steelers (10-6) Broncos (12-4) Rematch: Keith’s Steelers won 34 – 27. PM looked healthy and good in the last win, Ward is back too. D Williams and A Brown (knocked out in a dirty play last week) are out and Ben’s ability to throw is in question but he is tough. Classy’s donkeys at home.

To be clear I am a RAIDER fan so my dislike for the donkeys is deep and strong. That said the Steelers played as dirty as the Bengals did last week. I do not believe in dirty play - so payback wouldn't bother me in this case. The NFL, along with players and coaches failed again IMO.


When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

    Quoting Classynsxe:
    Well shit. I'm happy we won, but I'm less than pleased about game. That was not how the #1 seed should look. Boris may get a chance to gloat next week. Ugh!

I can’t even hope for a tie in a playoff game damn it.

I have to say I am ecstatic that the Cheifs lost. I was hoping for a loss even if that means we have to play NE after we give the Steelers a spanking today.

And trust me honey, my dislike for your Raiders is just as strong and deep as yours of my Broncos, but I have to say that there was a time when the dark side played just as dirty as the Steelers/Bengals have lately.

5th straight season in the playoffs! Go team!

I don't have a clue about this sport....but I'll say a prayer for your Vietnam Vet.

I just hope the Seahawks win because of a good game and not because of sheer good luck and errors on the part of the other team lol

My son, daughter in law and I will be watching in earnest...we do every time they play. My daughter in law is very knowledgeable about football in general and the Hawks specifically and she is very vocal while we watch the game. It's a hoot!

Go Seahawks Sounds like we are getting some key players back from sick leave

True and they could win it - it should be a good close game.

I hoping for a Chief's victory as well.

don't like Denver anyways, never have, Steeler's can know the shit out of them.

Card's vs Packer's, tough call, but with the Card's at home, have to go with the home team.

Carolina vs Seattle, that game could go either way as well, would like to see the Panther's win though.
