DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF PICKS

Saturday games:

BALTIMORE (+3) @ Tennessee

The Ravens defense looked absolutely dominant last week by forcing 5 turnovers from the Dolphins who had only turned the ball over 13 times all season. Both teams play a very similar style of football, but the Ravens have momentum going in their favor. Kerry Collins will have Vietnam like flashbacks of the 2001 SuperBowl as the Ravens crush him.

CAROLINA (-10) vs. Arizona

Not sure if it has sunk in yet but I've mentioned it 50 times this season. The Cardinals cannot play on the East Coast. It doesn't get much tougher than the East Coast. Take that along with a hamstring injury that will slow down Boldin and the Panthers should handle this game. Don't let last week's performance by the Cardinals run defense fool you. Williams and Stewart will have a field day running the ball.

Sunday games:

PHILADELPHIA (+4) @ New York Giants

This Eagles team is eerily similar to last years Giants team that got hot at the right time and rode it to the Championship. Right down to the homo of QB. Heading into an away game at a division rival who is the number one seed they feel no intimidation after beating the G-men there late in the season.

PITTSBURGH (-6) vs. San Diego
San Diego has injuries to Tomlinson and Gates and a DUI from Jackson to deal with leading into this game. The Pittsburgh D will not allow Sproles to run the way he did on the smaller Colts defense which will force the Chargers to throw the ball. With the poor weather looming this is not a good sign and expect the Steelers to take a low scoring game.
