Ok, playoff prediction time again! I was 4-0 last week, but I guarantee a worse week this week, because... Well, I'm not very smart, haha. ^_^
Indianapolis at Baltimore: Ok, I know this sounds ridiculous when we're talking about the Indy defense, but I just don't think the Ravens are gonna be able to score very much... I'm not a believer in their offense. They're really gonna need to control the clock in this one and I don't think they will. And, yeah the Ravens have a smashmouth defense, blahblahblah. Indy scores points, and I just don't think that the Ravens can score enough to keep up.
Colts 27, Ravens 20
Philadelphia at New Orleans: The dome crowd will be loud, the announcers will spend the whole game talking about how inspirational this Saints story has been... And the Saints will fall just a *little* bit short. Jeff Garcia gets it done with short passes, and Westbrook has another great game as the Eagles win a close one that nobody expects them to win.
Eagles 24, Saints 20
Seattle at Chicago: There were about a million articles this week on why Rex Grossman is not a super bowl quarterback.. Maybe he's not, but he's good enough to beat a 9-7 Seattle team, at home, in bad weather. People seem to be forgetting that this Bears team only lost 3 games all year.. Great Bears defense in this one, and Hasselbeck and Alexander play the way they've been playing all year.. That's "not as good as last year", for anyone who hasn't noticed.
Bears 24, Seahawks 10
New England at San Diego: Yeah yeah, same as last week, a biased fan ignoring the obvious facts.. But let's not count out the three time super bowl champs, m'kay? Bill Belichick is known for being able to shut down one facet of a team's offense, and this week he'll be gunning for LT. If (and this is a big if) Belichick succeeds, the pressure will be on Phillip Rivers. Bill is famous for confusing the hell out of rookie QB's, rattling them, and forcing them into big mistakes. A few costly turnovers through the air could spell disaster for the Chargers. Can Martyball get to the super bowl? I say no. Tom Brady has another good game, New England spreads the field, and three different wide receivers catch touchdown passes. Corey Dillon runs for one score as well and the Pats win a close one.
Patriots 28, Chargers 24
Yeah, so I was undefeated last week.. So, I need to even it out this weekend, with an 0-4 performance, right? Enjoy the games, everyone!!
