Anyways, The Bungals are the Bungals and didn't do anything on offense. Negative six passing yards in the first half. Ouch. Also, I keep getting to say they haven't won a playoff game in my lifetime. The Texans let them hang around though so it should be interesting to see how they do in New England next week. It really wouldn't shock me if they played well just because everyone is going to bring up the Monday night game from week 14 and predict the Patriots to win big again.
The Packers took care of business against the Vikings. They shut down Adrian Peterson for the first time in three meetings and Joe Webb didn't look too good. Packers at 49ers should be a good one next week.
P.S. Who is Doug Marrone? Bills what are you doing? Chan Gailey was a bad hire, I don't even know who this guy is. Syracuse football is no powerhouse. I want to stay on the bandwagon Bills, but this move isn't helping.
Colts 31, Ravens 28 --- IND +7 --- The Ravens have limped into the playoffs losing four of their last five games. I never really believed they were a great football team when they were 9-2 so it didn't shock me they finished the year at 10-6. This is a huge game for Joe Flaccoooooo. He was very good in the playoffs last season and he gets to play a pretty weak defense today. If the Ravens are smart though they will let Ray Rice get a ton of touches, since the Colts are ranked 29th against the run. They aren't to smart though. The Colts finished the year 9-2, for one of the best turnaround seasons in NFL history. Chuck Pagano is back on the sidelines and they seem to have something special going. Also he coached the Ravens defense last season and Bruce Arians was the longtime offensive coordinator for the Steelers, so he knows the Ravens very well. As long as Andrew Luck doesn't turn the ball over more than twice the Colts are going to be in this game and as they proven all season, they can win the close ones.
Redskins 20, Seahawks 14 --- WAS +3 This game features the two of the hottest teams in the NFL. The Seahawks have won five straight and the Redskins have won seven in a row. Both teams have outstanding rookie quarterbacks. The reason why I am going to pick the Redskins is due to the fact the Seahawks are not a great road team. They are only 3-5 on the road this year and those three wins came against the Panthers, Bears, and Bills (in Toronto). Russell Wilson is also not spectacular on the road. He turns the ball over at a much higher rate away from home, throwing 8 of his 10 interceptions. RG III has only thrown 5 picks all season, so this game could very well come down to the turnover battle. Also this is the first playoff game in Washington, D.C since 1999 so that crowd should be pumped up.
Let's go underdogs. Aka- Joe Flacccoooooo screw up and end Ray Lewis' career.
