NFL Divisional Round Predictions

After my last week's predictions went for 1-3 (click here to see my predictions) I was pretty shocked. The Cowboys had 5 straight scoring drive in the first half and the Eagles had to many turnovers. The Pat's lost to the Ravens thanks to Ray Rice and partly because Tom Brady wasn't himself, something I never saw it coming and The Cardinals hold off the Packers comeback with a great defensive play.

Still I learned my lesson never understimate any team, they're in the playoffs for a reason right? I'll give it another try:

Baltimore Ravens (21) vs. Indianapolis Colts (28)

The Ravens showed us what they could do with the ball (specially Ray Rice) and on the defensive side, they'll surely give the Colts all they got. But you know what? I don't think they can stop the Colts offense and if their D' somehow gets them in trouble, Peyton Manning will save the day.

Players To Watch:

Peyton Manning QB...Antoine Bethea FS...Ray Rice RB...Ray Lewis  LB.

Arizona Cardinals (31) vs. New Orleans Saints (35)

People will think the Cardinals are the safe pick and your probably right, the Cardinals are hot after that win against the Packers and the Saints lost their 3 last games of the regular season, but the Saints offense will show why they are the number 1 offensive team in the league.

Players To Watch:

Drew Brees QB...Darren Sharper FS...Larry Fitzgerald WR...Antrel Rolle FS.

New York Jets (17) vs. San Diego Chargers (28)

This is were the road ends for Rex Ryan and the Jets ends, they won't run the ball as much because the Chargers will score early so all pressure will be on Mark Sanchez and I'm petty sure he'll make some turnovers.

Players To Watch:

Mark Sanchez QB...Darrel Revis CB... Vincent Jackson WR...

Dallas Cowboys (24) vs. Minnesota Vikings (21)

I give the slight edge to the Cowboys, if they keep playing like they did on Sunday they'll probably go to the Super Bowl and don't be surprised if they take it all. Tony Romo has been playing the best football in his career and M. Austin finally turned into a featured WR, so the 'Boys Offense wont have a problem against the Vikings. I'm hoping the Cowboys will stop Brett Favre and the rest of the Vike's offense.

Players To Watch:

Tony Romo QB...Terence Newman CB...Adrian Peterson HB... Jared Allen DE.

So if I'm correct we'll see in the Conference Champsionship:

San Diego Chargers @ Indianapolis Colts

Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints
