As I promised you earlier this week, here are my picks for this weekends NFL divisional playoffs.

AFC.
New Engalnd at San Diego.

The Patriots have too much experience in the postseason. Tom Brady has only lost one game in 12 playoff starts. Philip Rivers has had a great season, but he will crack under pressure in his first playoff game. Even though SD has L.T. on offense and a great defense, the X-factor will be Rivers. Look for Coach Belicheck to use different defense schemes to confuse him.

Pats win 31-28

Indianapolis at Baltimore.
The Ravens defense has been talking trash all week. Even though their defense is ranked #1, they'll have their hands full with the Colts explosive offense. If the Indy D can play the way they did against KC, they can win this game. Peyton Manning must play better.

My Colts, in a upset 34-21

NFC.
Seattle at Chicago
The Seahawks are lucky to be here after Tony Romo's blunder in last week's game. The Bears are fresh and healthy on both sides of the ball. Seattle is too banged up right now. Rex Grossman must show up in order for the Bears offense to be productive.

Chicago wins 27-10

Philadelphia at New Orleans
The Eagles are red hot, winning their last 6 games after losing McNabb for the season. The Saints are coming a suprising season, finishing 10-6 and winning the NFC South. Jeff Garcia is playing well, and figures to do that againts an inconsistent Saints D. Look for the Eagles to try to blitz Drew Brees. Also, if the Eagles can shut down Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister and the rest of Saints offense, Philly has a shot.

Eagles overcome the crowd noise in the Superdome ( and some voodoo), and win it 35-27.

Agreed. But it has to be frustrating to be the man and watch those clowns piss away your Super Bowl chance.

I couldn't believe the 15 Yd. Personal foul that gave the Pats the 1st down. Or Marty blowing timeouts on that awful challenge and then another one a few minutes later. The muffed punt. Not running the ball with LT enough. It's like they didn't even want to win.

I don't think LT thought they were too grateful

This game came down this :

1. Florence headbutt. Can't blame Marty for that one.

2. Challenge on the fumble. IF he listened to Rivers who wanted the challenge, he's an idiot. If he got info from his coaches who saw the replays, then we can't put that one on him.

3. Antonio Gates trying to gain extra yardage instead of stepping out of bounds on the final drive. Was I the only one who saw this. That's football 101.

4. Not running one more play. You have to throw a sideline pass in that situation, 8 seconds is plenty of time and a 54 yard field goal is a prayer.

Why do they do the right thing--Troy Brown stripping the DB of the interception for example. It's a top down phenomenon where the players take on the professional ethics of the coach.

It's what separates the Schottenheimers from the Belichicks.
