Sunday- Divisional Round games on the Gridiron

   Hello guys, well what a set of games we had last night. Both games ended up being very good. The Steelers come back in the second half and win by a touchdown, and the Falcons just made too many mistakes. All in all a great day of football it was, and those two games put my playoff picks record at 1-5. This will change today though, as I am sure that I will pick two winners.

   Seahawks @ Bears. Can the Seahawks do it again? Can they shock the world twice? Seahawks head into the game as 10 point underdogs, but I think they like playing that role. Last week, Matt Hasselbeck played outstanding, and Marshawn Lynch put the game on ice as he broke nine tackles in a spectacular run. Now today, the Seahawks are playing a tough Bears defense. I don't see them going up top like they were able to do against the Saints. The Seahawks need to establish some type of running game, and Hasselbeck needs to be consistent. On the other side, Jay Cutler will need to do the same if he wants to win. Seahawks middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu is questionable because he is suffering a concussion. That can hurt the Seahawks, as well as playing in a noisy Soldier Field. I think that the Bears will need to work a little more packages with Matt Forte, and give him the ball. This game might be a closer won, but then again if the Bears get ahead early, they will never look back. My Pick= Bears 28-17

   Jets @ Patriots. This will be a good game to watch ladies and gentlemen. I personally, can not wait to watch it. This game got a whole lot interesting thanks to a Wes Welker press conference. Welker may have made a wrong move by joking around about the incident earlier this season with Rex Ryan. I think this game will be a close game. The Jets defense is ready, and Rex Ryan would like to teach this Patriots team a lesson. Now, obviously it is not that easy, when you are playing Tom Brady, it can get away from you very quickly. If the Jets want this game, they will need to generate an offense, and score quickly, and better never look back. Sanchez will need to be consistent. This may be an upset, because the Jets are 9 point underdogs. I think that if the Jets can run the ball and keep Brady off of the field, just like they did against the Colts, they have a decent shot at this. Although, Tom Brady don't need that many shots on the field to put you in a bad position. I truly do believe that this will be a close game, but in the end the Patriots win. My Pick= Patriots 27-20.
