Playoff Picks!
You didn't think I was going to post my picks this week did you? DIDN'T YOU?! Where is the faith?
Baltimore v New England: New England has the home field and Brady advantage while the Ravens have the Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Ray Rice and Flacco's mustache advantage. Speaking of Flacco, I think this game comes down to him. He has to perform better than he did last week. I believe he will and Baltimore will win this high scoring yet close game...35-31
New York v San Francisco: Home field advantage is going to be huge for the 49ers but they are playing one of the best playoff traveling teams. The Giants are looking good right now but I think the 49ers defense will be able to hold back stupid face Eli Mannning. I don't like him. San Fran over New York 17-13.
Last night I watched the awesome film, The Guardian. Imagine a combination of Lock Stock and Napoleon Dynamite. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Great stuff.

Divisional Playoffs
Ok, I will admit I was pretty off last week. THIS week though, I am going to be spot on.
Saint at 49ers: This is going to be a fun one. Hot offense vs hot defense. With the 49ers at home and the Saints having never won a road playoff game I think the 49ers will come out on top. Drew Brees is still going to put up some numbers though. 49ers over Saints 24-21.
Broncos at Patriots: Teeebow! What a crazy finish last week. Too bad that magic has run out. The Patriots have a horrible defense but they are at home and their offense can compensate, even with how good the Broncos D is. Patriots over Broncos 28-13.
Texans at Ravens: A lot of this will depend on how well Flacco plays but again I am going with the home team. Ray Rice is gooooood and the Ravens' defense is gooood. Ravens over Texans 21-17.
Giant at Packers: The Packers remember losing to the Giants in 2008 and they are still angry. This is going to be a battle and I think will come down to the wire but the Packers are healthy and stacked. Aaron Rodgers is a stud and will lead the Packers to a 35-28 victory.
You're welcome.

Tanner's much better than Stefan's playoff predictions
Allow me to expand upon (i.e. one-up) Stefan's predictions by making my own.
Saturday PM CIN at HOU (-3)
Cincy has only beaten one team with a winning record all season (week 9 24-17 over the Titans in the Cincinnati vs. Tennessee "Where the fuck do the double letters go?" Bowl). Houston was statistically the best team in the league before Matt Schaub got hurt. T.J. Yates should be able to manage the game with Andre Johnson coming back, and I fully expect Arian Foster to have over 150 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. The Texans D will take care of a stagnant Bengals offense as Andy Dalton and AJ Green hit the rookie wall.
TEXANS (-3) 21 OVER Bengals 10
Saturday NIGHT DET at NO (-10.5)
Good God the points to be scored in this game. Detroit's secondary has no chance of containing the quick passing game of the Saints, and Drew Brees should put up huge numbers as he has done in recent weeks. That being said, the Saints will have trouble containing the vertical game of Stafford and Calvin Johnson as well, so expect there to be a lot of big plays on offense. The difference will be the Saints' ability to run the ball and the Lions' inexperience and tendency to lose composure. Expect the Saints to get up early, then the Lions to make it close before ultimately falling short. Bet the over (now at 59) and prop bet under 1.5 punts (5:1).
LIONS (+10.5) 42 OVER Saints 49
*the only thing that makes me nervous about this bet is that New Orleans has covered 9 straight games. Yikes!
Sunday AM ATL at NYG (-3)
This is an interesting match-up of the most consistent team in the league (the boring Falcons) versus the biggest set of headcases to make the playoffs (the Giants). Whatever the Giants do this postseason I would not be surprised; they can win the Super Bowl and just as easily get stomped in this game. If the Falcons can run the ball well and control the Giants' pass rushers, they can make enough plays against the poor Giants' back seven to win. If Eli Manning can limit his turnovers and get the ball to his playmakers, the Giants could score too many points for the Falcons to keep up. I think the Falcons will be impatient and the Giants D will step up against the run, and the Falcons won't be able to score enough points to win.
GIANTS (-3) 26 OVER Falcons 16
Sunday PM PIT (-9) at DEN
This one has all the makings of an upset. Pittsburgh is banged-up (Big Ben fighting an ankle sprain, Mendenhall out with a torn MCL, Ryan Clark out with sickle-cell...) there should be crazy weather and crazy fans, Denver has ferocious pass-rushers against the Steelers' piss-poor o-line, the list goes on and on. Also, the Steelers strength is stopping the pass, and that's not really an issue for the Broncos. The discrepancy that seals it for me is perhaps the greatest kicker mismatch in recent playoff history: the Broncos have rocket legged Dan Prater who routinely kicks 50+ yarders and the Steelers have Sean Can't-pronounce-his-last-name who was cut from the Redskins for sucking miserably. The defense and special teams will get the job done and Tebow will get the credit.

PLAYOFFS!!!!
The playoffs are coming! The playoffs are coming! Grab your chips, dip and beer! The NFL playoffs are coming!
The NFL regular season has come to a close with the losers being tossed to the wayside to make way for winner's chance at the Super Bowl. Want to know how it is all going to go down? You're welcome.
Cincinnati at Houston: While Houston has the home field advantage they have lost their last 3 games in a row. I think Cincy pulls this one out 24-17.
Pittsburgh at Denver: Tebow seems to have finally come back to Earth and his weaknesses (throwing the ball, decision making, throwing the ball, throwing the ball, etc.) are being exploited. Pittsburgh had one of the best defenses in the league and should be able to manhandle him. As I write this I do realize that I could be totally wrong and Tebow could somehow pull out a miracle, it has happened before, however, the final score will be...Pittsburgh over the Donkeys 28-10.
Detroit at New Orleans: This could be best first round game of the playoffs. Both teams have hot offenses and that can score a lot of points. New Orleans has Drew Bress though, and that dude can throw. I predict a high-scoring victory for the Saints in the Superdome...35-24. Oh yeah, Suh will also stomp someone during the game.
Atlanta at New York: This is going to be a close one. Atlanta is a good team but MetLife Stadium is a tough place to play in. I think that Matt Ryan and Michael Turner will be able to do damage against the Giants D however. Atlanta wins this 27-24.
There you go...the first round of the NFL playoffs. If you are smart you will now use all of your life savings to make bets on my predictions, nay, facts.
