Last week I was 4-0, so I'm happy with the results since I can gloat forever that I picked the 7-9 team to win a playoff game. But alas, it's time for tihs week's picks:
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
- I like the Ravens, but I think the Steelers will win this one. These two always play close, but last week Baltimore was really banged up in their win. While Pittsburgh is banged up as well, the bye will help Polamolu recover and he'll be the difference.
Green Bay @ Atlanta
- These two played close in the last game, but Atlanta had a rough stretch near the end, including a close loss to New Orleans when they decided to not play to win. With Green Bay rolling now that they seemingly have a running game, I expect them to win by at least a touchdown.
Seattle @ Chicago
- This mainly comes down to whether or not I trust Jay Cutler at quarterback. The simple answer is no I don't. He's not known for playing well after a bye week, and the Seahawks offense looked really impressive last week. These two played at Chicago earlier this season so I expect a similar game with a similar result since they matchup extremely well against one another.
New York @ New England
- I know people are expecting this game to be closer than last time because it'd be a miracle if it wasn't, right? I expect them to play well, but given that New England plays better when they have extra time to prepare and New York doesn't (remember they had an extra day of rest) I expect the Patriots to win this one.
