The Battle Continues.. It's the NFL Divisional Playoffs


All Eyes Will be on David Garrard and His Jaguars Against the Unbeaten Pats.
I had a pretty good week in my picks last week, going 3-1. Too bad the Steelers couldn't hold on, but I'll take it. But , with the second round comes tougher picks. I'm not sure about a couple of them, but I gotta pick, right? So, here we go....
Chargers vs. Colts.
The Bolts beat the Colts earlier this year 23-20. Of course, they had to pick off Peyton Manning 6 times to eek out that 3 pt win in San Diego - which we all know is german for a whale's vagina. Indy is well rested, and they will get their revenge. The Chargers offense did not impress me much last week, and Phillip Rivers' arm is a bit weak. Colts 31-21.
Giants vs. Cowboys.
Eli Manning has put together two good games in a row, and they're on the road where they've only lost once. Too bad that loss was to Dallas. As much of a Giants fan as I am, the G-Men haven't been able to stop the Cowboys offense yet. Terrell Owens should be over his ankle sprain, and the Number 1 seed in the NFC has made it to the Championship game for the last 8 years. Boo Hoo... Cowboys 35-27.
Seahawks vs. Packers.
This will probably be the best game this week. Brett Favre is back, against his old coach Mike Holmgren. Both Favre and Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck have a habit of throwing bad passes at inopportune times, so this one could go in any direction. Both have good recievers and adequate running games. I like Seattle's defense, though. The DB's looked great, and they can get a rush on Favre to force the bad throw. Seahawks 27-24.
Jaguars vs. Patriots.
Most people are waiting on this game the most, but I don't like the Jags chances. Their defense has not been playing well lately, giving up 29 points to a Steelers team without a running game, and giving up 42 points to the Texans before that. Tom Brady will pick apart the Jaguars with his receivers - something the Jags don't have - which will open up the run later. Too many weapons, and we will get the Pats-Colts rematch next week. Pats 38-21.
