Double Coverage: Divisional Round, the picks

A perfect Wild Card round has our resident pickatologist feeling pretty good about the Divisional round of the playoffs

MIKE KAYE

Season: 132-92 /  Playoffs: 3-0

I will gloat as I think I am the only person who called both the Seahawks and Jets winning their Wild Card round match-ups. Let’s not let my awesome picking abilities waste your time.  You want this weeks picks! You got em.

Seahawks @ Bears- The Pick: Bears 24-10. The trip out East will impact the Seahawks as the trip out West impacted the Saints last week. The Bears have a horrible field and that is a huge advantage for the home team. I think Cutler will make a few mistakes in the first half but lead the Bears to a win in the second half.

Packers @ Falcons- The Pick: Falcons 21-20. I think this one will come down to the wire but I think the Falcons are so talented on both sides of the ball that they will have a little less of a hard time managing the game then the Pack. This game’s points will come mostly in the third quarter with a Mike Turner TD winning the game in the late 4th.

NY Jets @ New England- The Pick: Pats 31-10. This one can get ugly quick and it would not surprise me at all. Mark Sanchez is not ready for what Belichek has for him in a playoff game. Both the Colts and Jets were mediocre last week and the only reason the Jets won was because Indy scored too quickly at the end of the game.

Ravens @ Steelers- The Pick: Ravens 17-13. If you like defense, you will love this game. Every time these teams meet, someone gets knocked out of the game, it is low scoring, and someone says something obnoxious. This will be epic but I think the Ravens win due to their ability to force turnovers out-of-nowhere. These teams are have similar strengths and I would not be surprised if this is the game that the new OT rule takes effect.
