NFL Divisional Weekend Predictions

These are my predictions for this weekend's NFL Playoff games.

The first game of the weekend is the New Orleans Saints traveling down to Candle Stick Park to take on the 49ers. There has been skepticism on if the Saints can win on the road. The biggest example being how the Saints lost to the (7-9) Seattle Seahawks in the wildcard round of the playoffs. I, on the other hand believe Drew Brees and the Saints can beat the 49ers by 10 points.

The New England Patriots as the number 1 seed will host the Denver Tebows I mean Broncos in the second game on Saturday. I love watching Tebow play, but it might be the end of the road for the Broncos. Though the Patriots defense is pretty pathetic; Tom Brady will carry the Patriots to a victory and a spot into the AFC Championship. Patriots will win by 7 points.

The Texans playing the Ravens in Baltimore looks like an uphill battle. The Texans in their history as a team have never defeated the Ravens. That defense will probably rattle young rookie TJ Yates into throwing some interceptions in the direction of Ed Reed. He might also have Ray Lewis come through the offensive line "welcoming" him into the NFL. Ravens win by 14.

And the game of the weekend in my opinion is the Packers at home welcoming the New York Giants to Lambeau Field. To me it is a wildcard on who can win this game. With the weather looking like it will look awful it can really be anyones game. I still though like Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback then Eli Manning. There will be a ton of points in this one basically setting up a shoot out style type of game. I will pick the Packers defense being a little better than the Giants with possibly Clay Matthews getting a sack or two. The Packers will win this game by a field goal!

Then again anything can happen in the NFL!!!
