Divisional Round Poll - Pick 4 Winners

[maineman209]

PATRIOTS
... Should win fairly comfortably if they bring their "A" game. I don't think the Titans will ever give up though.

STEELERS
... After seeing the JAGS against BUF, it seems to me that the only factor that might prevent a PIT win is their own arrogance, even being down Burns and (now Tuitt). It's also forecast to be very cold in Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon, with a high in the upper teens. Some possibilty of the Steelers blowing them out. That might be ideal, since their arrogance would then be overflowing when the come to Gillette.

FALCONS
... The ATL defense may be a bit better than some folks think, especially their secondary. Against Foles in the forecast cold & windy conditions, I think they'll slow the Eagles offense down to a crawl. OTOH, I'm not sure how the Falcons own still "out of sorts" offense and Ryan will perform outside their dome. Slight edge to the Falcons in what may be a close, low-scoring game.

NEW ORLEANS
... I'm going with the experienced Brees and his multiple weapons versus Keenum and Thielen. There's some possibility that the Saints blow them out.

Pats jags Vikings falcons

What type of bet are you thinking? If I bet the pats game I’m thinking spread or pats over on the total.

The Steelers may blow out the jags. But if I’m getting more than 7 with that jags defense and the possibility of Pittsburgh being flat, I have to take it.

Already locked in -2.5 on Atlanta. Went heavy (for me) 115 to win 100

Vikings line going up. It’s at 4.5. Looks like it’s going to go to 5. I love the Vikings if I can get it at 3 at -130 or better. That looks unlikely right now. I see this being a 1 score game either way so if it gets to 5 or higher I’m going saints. At 4-4.5 I have a really tough decision to make.

Maybe I’ll do a 6 team teaser this week

Looking at Tennessee's team total Over 17, Pats - we & Pats Over 47.5

Minne Over 46 even tho they will look to play their usually slow pace & control t.o.p. Still I think both teams have success on the ground, maybe some TO points and I obviously think both offenses can put up 21+

I love what ATL is doing. My biggest need for them was adding pass rush opposite VB. Takk is only a rookie but he's having an impact and their defense as a whole is healthy.
Still I believe Phila has an edge in both trenches and will have a lot of success rushing Ryan & running Blount & co.
Also I like JS vs Shark. Although I said the same about Wade vs Shark. Shark is still doing dumb ass stuff like ignoring JJ & having slot wrs block DE's.

I didn’t see a thread about this, so I thought I’d start one.

I feel Jacksonville has a shot at upsetting Pittsburgh. They actually have the higher ranked defense and had a higher points scored per game average than Pittsburgh on offense (this fact shocked me). That being said, I feel Pittsburgh pulls out the victory, though I’d like to see the upset. I see like a 17-10 Pittsburgh win.

I actually think Atlanta beats Philly in a road upset. They have a HUGE advantage at QB, and though I love Philly’s defense, Foles is the worst QB left in the tournament.

I think New Orleans pulls off the road upset as well. Brees is just a monster, he’s on fire, that offense is pretty tough to stop, and they actually have a good defense.

What are your thoughts, who do you predict to win THESE games (Not the Pats/Titans game).

Atlanta's favored by 2.5, so it's not an upset if they win.

That may be true, but to beat the #1 seed on the road, to me, is an upset, regardless of what Vegas says.

 

[pctronics0072]

I see falcons, saints, and jax winning. I think I am more confident of the first two. Last one, kind of a toss up. Honestly would be a bit surprised if saints loose.

Philly, PIT, and New Orleans.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

NE- Brady Lebeau
PIT- can't see Pitt stinking as bad as their last game with JAX.
ATL- why not, ATL has a QB.
MIN- tough call, normally I don't have much faith in NO taking their dome show on the road but this year they've been pretty good on the road and MIN has a dome. I still think MIN wins a close one.

This one is awfully close:

Divisional Round Poll - Pick 4 Winners

 

[Froob]

I'm switching my pick to Philly. Home dogs in the divisional round are 5-0 all time, dome team going outdoors, my brain says Falcons with Ryan and Eagles with Foles that the Falcons are the better team but my gut says Philly is going to win this.

I picked Atlanta with no hesitation but I still wouldn't be surprised if Philly won.

Ray Lewis has more votes than the Tennessee Titans from PatsFans. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
