Divisional Championship Picks:
SD @ Pitt: Steelers. San Diego has a mediocre offense, especially without LT. Pittsburgh does too, but their defense is just too good.
Baltimore @ Tenn: Ravens. I just still don't think Tennessee is good enough to justify their record. Baltimore is on a hot streak, and I think Ed Reed should be at the top of everyone's lists of best players in the NFL. I think this might end up being the best but most boring game of the weekend.
Arizona @ Carolina: Panthers. The days of having no running game but still being able to move the ball in the air because you have Larry Fitzgerald are going to catch to the Cardinals eventually. I think its long overdue, Carolina in a walk.
Philadelphia @ NY: Eagles. I know, I'm an Eagles fan. But to justify this pick I will say the following: Neither facing the Giants, nor going to the Meadowlands is a big deal for us. This will be the third time we play them this year. Beating them in the Meadowlands a few weeks ago was arguably the beginning of the current streak that has brought us here. The ways they have beaten us in the past, they have failed to accomplish this year, namely pressure on McNabb. Plus, we have the momentum and we're playing like we mean it. We don't always show up for all our games, but when we do we are one of the more dangerous teams around. Consistency, rather than ability, is our biggest weakness.
Should be a good weekend. See you guys on the other side!
