Here are my picks for the Divisional Round....
SATURDAY, JANUARY 14TH
(3) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ (2)SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS--The Red and Gold are back in postseason play after nine years while the New Orleans Saints are coming from a huge shootout in their hometown against Detroit last week. Even though the game will be REAL close, I like to see Frisco win the old school way with the pound and ground game. 49ers over Saints, 20-17
(4) DENVER BRONCOS @ (1) NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS--I really want to believe in Tebow, I REALLY, REALLY DO! Even John "St. Elmos Fire" Parr himself wrote a song in honor of the Miracle Man, but I still think he'll have a tough time even against a very weak New England D and Brady might get his first playoff win in four years. Patriots over Broncos, 28-14
SUNDAY, JANUARY 15TH
(3) HOUSTON TEXANS @ (2) BALTIMORE RAVENS--While Houston had a great game last week against Cinci, their deserved run will end in Baltimore with Ray Rice and a stingy D coached by another Harbaugh. Ravens over Texans, 17-6
(4) NEW YORK GIANTS @ (1) GREEN BAY PACKERS--I may feel like a fool for picking Atlanta over the G-Men, but I'm not going to fooled again when New York visits Green Bay for the second round. Rodgers and co. will light up Lambeau Field with a HUGE victory and advance to the NFC title game without a sweat. Packers over Giants, 35-17.
WILD CARD RECORD: 2-2
PLAYOFF RECORD: 2-2
2011 OVERALL RECORD: 157-102
