DIVISIONAL WEEKEND
Well, I went 3-1 on my picks for Wild Card Weekend, thanks
Giants…
My team is out of the playoffs; it was a tough game to
watch. At least they made it to the playoffs, silver linings? I mean, I guess for
the rest of the season I won’t be as biased with my picks. HAH! I tried. Before
we talk about the divisional weekend let’s recap wild card weekend.
Raiders @ Texans 14-27
Without Derek Carr, the Raiders were lost and couldn’t pull
it together. Houston walked all over Oakland picking off their third string
rookie QB, Connor Cook, 3 times. Sorry Raiders fans, at least your team made it
to the playoffs? (That’s what I’m telling my self too in regards to the
Giants.)
Lions @ Seahawks 6-26
I wanted this to be a closer game. Seattle just played a better, tougher,
tighter game. Maybe it would have been different if it was a home game for the
Lions. Sorry Lions fans, at least your team made it to the playoffs?
Dolphins @ Steelers 12-30
Le’Veon Bell is a beast and missing the playoffs the past
two years had a positive effect on him. The Dolphins were no match for the
Steelers offense or defense. The Steelers defense had some scary hits on
Miami’s QB Matt Moore and Miami didn’t have anything “in their back pocket” to
combat them. Sorry Dolphins fans, at least your team made it to the playoffs.
NY Giants @ Packers 13-38
Playoff Eli showed up but his wide receivers left their
ability to catch a ball on a boat somewhere in Miami. Disappointed doesn’t even
start to describe how I feel about this game. Well done Green Bay, you played a
great game. Giants, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
DIVISIONAL WEEKEND
Saturday, January 14th
Seahawks (11-5-1) @ Falcons (11-5) [4:35pm FOX]
I would be more surprised with a Falcons win than a Falcons
loss. The Seahawks have more recent playoff experience than the Falcons. I’m
picking Seattle for the win.
Texans (10-7) @ Patriots (14-2) [8:15pm CBS]
As much as I would like to see the Texans beat the Patriots,
I’m not counting on it. I’ll be rooting for the Texans but picking the Pats for
the win.
Sunday, January 15th
Packers (11-6) @ Cowboys (13-3) [4:40pm FOX]
If the Packers were healthy, I’d pick them over the Cowboys.
Like the Texans I’ll be rooting for the Packers but picking the Cowboys for the
win.
Steelers (12-5) @ Chiefs (12-4) [8:20pm NBC]
The game time has been moved from 1:05pm to 8:20pm. KC is
expected to get some bad weather and moving the game back will hopefully
provide the local authorities with time to clear the roads making it safe for
travel. I’d love to see KC win this game but if the Steelers play like they did
last week it’ll be a tough game to win. I’m picking the Steelers to win the
game but I really hope I’m wrong.
Thanks for the edit Eric!
