Re: NFL Pick 'em: Divisional Round
Indy at Baltimore
Offense wins games but defense wins Championships, which is where Baltimore will be going next week.
Eagles at Saints
I have several reasons for picking Philly 1) I'm an Eagles fan, so it figures 2) No one else has picked them yet 3) Yes the Saints did beat them earlier in the season at home, but that was on a last second field goal. When the Saints beat them the Eagles were in the middle of their freefall, now they're on fire...so it's easily going to be the highest scoring contest of the weekend.
Seahawks at Bears
Both teams have plaguing injuries on Defense, so it turns into a battle of the O's...of which Seattle has it. I don't think the Bears can yank Grossman mid game and expect the Offense to pull together.
Patriots at San Diego
Here's the rub...the Patriots are dangerous in the postseason, but that's when they're at home. Tom Brady's only postseason loss came last season at Denver. San Diego has a much better offense than Denver had last season, and a much better defense. Expect it to be a lot more lopsided than the score would have you believe.
Sidenote...yes I realize that I picked both NFC road teams to win and the AFC home teams to prevail...didn't plan it that way.
