NFL Divisional Round Preview

Marshawn Lynch goes beast mode in the Seahawks  41-36 upset against the Saints.

Don't sleep on me.  Last week I was 4-0 in my Wild Card Round picks.  While most other bloggers and ESPN analysists were saying the Saints were going to roll over the Seahawks- I predicted the correct outcome.  Say whatever you want about my picks, but thus far no expert, anywhere has a better 2011 NFL Playoff record than me.


Expect to see Ray Lewis and gang create big turnovers this weekend.

The Ravens' defense comes into Heinz Stadium Sunday coming off Super Bowl caliber performances and continues to play that way  (Ravens 24, Steelers 20). For a complete preview of the game click here.

James Starks rushed for a franchise playoff rookie record 123 yards in the Packers win last weekend against the Eagles.


After coming back from his concussion in Week 16 Rodgers has been forced to play in three straight elimination games which he has answered with three straight wins.  Look for Rodgers to make it four straight (Packers 27, Falcons 17).  For a complete preview of the game click here.


The last time the Bears played the Seahawks, Mike Martz called 39 passing plays yet only 14 rushing ones.  As long as the Bears can keep a balanced attack on offense, look for an abundance of home team points on the scoreboard.


The Seahawks Cinderella story is about to tick midnight on a trip to Chicago to face a well-rested, healthy Bears team (Seahawks 10, Bears 31).  For a complete preview of the game click here.


A big key to the Jets-Patriots game will be Benjarvus Green-Ellis who became the first Patriot to rush for 1000 yards in a season since Corey Dillon in 2004.


Antonio Cromartie has been very open with his hatred for Tom Brady this week.  Watch the game Sunday to see Cromartie's whining have no effect on the game (Patriots 34, Jets 24).  For a complete preview of the game click here.
