Divisional round predictions
 

I (like many of you) was horrible in my picks for the Wild Card weekend. I even saw a couple people go 0-4! I hate making playoff predictions when the Redskins aren't in the playoffs but I'm still a football fan and I have nothing better to do except maybe think of a new CB nickname. I missed that discussion but looks like it was a good one (thanks Gmanc711 for your thread or I might have never seen that other Pineaple thread :food-smil) Very Interesting stuff :) but anyways my predictions are:

Saints over Cards 41-34 (in another great offensive game)

Vikes over Cowboys 31-24 (Vikes get back on track.... Cowboys Lose!!)

Colts over Ravens 28-17 (MVP leads the Colts to 1st win since a month ago)

Jets over Chargers 28-24 (Jets defense help upset Chargers)

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

The Cards saved me from an 0-4 wildcard weekend.

My "don't take my word for it" predictions this week are:

Vikings 24
Cowboys 17

Saints 31
Cards 27

Colts 30
Ravens 17

Chargers 27
Jets 16

Wow that means you were just one play away from 0-4 :) I'm really hoping for some good football games and no blow-outs this weekend like all the games last weekend with the exception of the Cardinals-Packers game. I see you predicting no upsets huh? I had to throw one in there so I went with the Jets but I know that's not very probable

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Vikings 31
Cowboys 10

Saints 38
Cards 28

Colts 20

Yeah I'm playing favs, but I really believe those are the best teams. Of course it rarely works out that way but we'll see. Last weekend I really wanted to pick the Ravens, and even though I was pretty sure Dallas would win I just couldn't bring myself to pick them.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Cowboys 33
Vikings 31 (makes me want to puke saying they'll win)

Colts 24
Ravens 16

Saints 49
Cardinals 45 (I could easily see the cardinals winning this one though and going on that run like they did last year)

Chargers 23
Jets 14

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I'm not even going to watch the Cowboys game. It's only going to make me mad.

That being said, I'll take the Saints, Colts and Jets for the upset of the week. Not picking on the Vikes/Cowboys game.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Vikings, Ravens, Chargers, and Saints. Easy Week.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I tend to pick the teams I want to win so...

Cowboys vs. Vikings-Cowboys right now are the better team and they should win...but Peterson gets his groove back and Minnesota wins

Cardinals vs. Saints-I want to see a Favre vs. Warner NFC championship and Warner is going to shred that Saints D. Cards win

Ravens vs. Colts-This is the toughest one to predict. I'll take the Colts

Jets vs. Chargers-I'm kind of on the Jets bandwagon. After so many years of being repeatedly exposed to NY and NE teams I'm getting hooked on the Jets. So go Jets!

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I did it last week and really hate to do it this weel but:

Cowboys over the Vikings- too much heat on Brett and he has a few ints.
God I hope I'm wrong
Colts over the Ravens- hard to bet against PM

Cards over the Saints- I think we exposed the Saints and KW is money
in the playoffs
Jets over the Chargers- this is my week up set

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Colts
Chargers
Saints
Vikes

I don't know if I have ever rooted as hard for the Vikes as I will this week.

Speaking of the Jets bandwagon I never knew so many Jets fans until last week. All of a sudden everyone around me is a Jets fan, I'm like where have you been all this time? NY'ers are jumping on their bandwagon hard and heavy, it's so annoying.

I was at an AHL game last Sat. night and people in the crowd were giving each other updates on the game, even saw a few Jets jerseys in the crowd. I'm like, if you're such a big fan what the hell are you doing at a minor league hockey game?! Fan my ass.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

F the Cowboys. I can never pick the Girls. I'm going with Vikings.
The Cardinals cannot play defense, I'll take the Saints.
The Colts have taken too much time off, I like the Ravens.
The Jets are bums. They play in a bum city and they will be whacked this weekend. Put me down for the Chargers.

LOL...well I wouldn't call myself a fan. Of the teams in contention right now they are one of the few I wouldn't mind seeing winning it all.

I've always kind of liked them but I don't fervently root for them

I hear ya I was just venting :)

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Colts
Chargers
Cards
The other team also starts with a "C". I can't bring myself to type it but it's obviously not the Vikings. The Vikings have turned their offense into a passing offense neglecting one of their best weapons...AP. If all they do is pass...that other team will pin their ears back and be all over them. This pick is for that flaw in the Vikings offense. I hope I'm wrong and I hope they use AP and wear down the defense. I've never done this...a very sad day indeed. Get it together Vikings! Aw screw it. The Vikings kick their ass!

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

After last week's suprising outcomes, i'm not picking scores, just winners.

Ravens - The Colts are waaaaay better than the Patriots, but the Ravens are a complete football team. No way the Colts D can stop the Ravens running game, but Peyton Manning will keep this close. I think this game is going to see a lot of loooooong 12-play, 8-minute Ravens drives, followed by Manning leading the Colts to TDs in 2 minutes or less.

Chargers - The Jets don't stand a chance.

Cardinals - Would not be shocked if both teams score 35+ points

Cowboys - Oh Brett, why do you have to let me down?

I'm picking the Ravens and Cowboys for the Superbowl, although i'd much rather see Viikings take on the Colts. As much as I hate to say it, the Cowboys are the most complete team in the NFL. I hope the Ravens find a way to beat the snot out of them, though.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Arizona 23-34 New Orleans
Baltimore 17-24 Indianapolis
Dallas 20-24 Minnesota
NY Jets 21-20 San Diego

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

chargers
ravens
vikings
saints

these are the teams i hope win.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Cards 34
Saints 27

Vikings 37
Cowgirls 17

Colts 24
Ravens 21

Chargers 27
Jets 20

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

philip rivers is currently the best qb in the nfl and will beat the crap out of the sorry ass jets, and the chargers will win the super bowl. and dallass will lose this weekend, ravens will beat the colts and the cards saints will be a shoot out don't know who will win that one but i'd be betting cards

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I see the Chargers winning it all. Hopefully the girls get stomped down this week.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Chargers 27 jets 14 ..... Viks 28 Boys 23 ...... Saints 40 Cards 31 ..... Colts 23 Ravens 10

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

chargers vikings cardinals ravens

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Jets in an upset win
Vikes of course with Jared Allen knocking Romo out of the game
Cardinals
Colts

I really hope Colts take it all, Peyton is too good a player to have just one SB

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

Surprised to see so many Ravens predictions with Flacco clearly not 100%. I'm not sure they can rely on him for very much.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I was 0-4 last week, so I'm trying to duplicate my winless streak...

Chargers
Colts
Cardinals
Cowboys

exactly, that's what's driving my thinking..Ravens defense is phenomenal but Manning is going to put up 25-27 points without breaking a sweat and I don't think that Flacco is going to be able to lead the Ravens offense to more than that.

I'm surprised, too, given that the Colts are at home and not long ago were undefeated.

Ravens pass D is suspect, But so is the Indy Run D. I suspect it could be similar to the game Miami played against Indy, where Baltimore has a huge ToP advantage, and still loses because Manning connects on several 1 or 2 and done drives for TD's

It's nice for them since they can switch teams if the Giants are out of it.

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

The only 2 teams I feel confident about are the pokes (hate to say it) & chargers. The cowpokers are playing complete games lately, all aspects of their team are on. Wish that everyone hadn't started talking about their december decline! The only way Minnesota wins that game is some big plays off turnovers, or if their o line can get their mojo back. Those guys seemed to look older than Farve as the season ended.

The Chargers are looking good as well & I'm pretty certain they'll whoop the ravens. Other than that, the other games are tougher to call. I'll go w/the Colts but am not as confident. Ditto the Saints.

Well maybe they can find another QB to complete 4 passes :silly: I doubt Rice will get 7.2 yds/carry with no pass game this week like he did last weekend either

Didn't you hear? Favre "guaranteed" a win so the Cowboys are as good as done we don't need to worry about them no more :silly: [url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/01/13/favre-makes-an-indirect-guarantee/]Favre makes an indirect guarantee | ProFootballTalk.com[/url]

ahhh damn I wasn't thinking about that

I'd say Cards over saints 35-28 vikes over pukes 42-21 ravens over Indy 24-21 bolts over jets 28-14

the chargers arent playing the Ravens

Re: Divisional round predictions
 

I believe that the Saints will have a 35 to 14 lead over the Cards with 10:36 to play in the 3rd quarter.
