Divisional Round Preview:
(4)Baltimore at (1)Denver (Saturday 3:30pm CT CBS): The Ravens played well against the Colts last Sunday, but Ray Lewis' 17 year career ends in Denver this weekend. Peyton Manning and the Broncos' defense will be a handful for the Ravens.
(3)Green Bay at (2)San Francisco (Saturday 7pm CT FOX): The Packers looked great in their opening round playoff game last weekend with a 24-10 victory over division foe Minnesota. They will beat the 49ers in the Bay Area this weekend because Collin Kaepernick is not a proven leader and does not have any playoff experience.
(5)Seattle at (1)Atlanta (Sunday Noon CT FOX): Why not the top seeded Falcons? The Falcons have become a playoff joke under coach Mike Smith with an 0-3 record during his tenure. The Seahawks looked great against Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins last Sunday, so expect them to beat up on Matt Ryan and the Falcons this weekend. Pete Caroll has his team focused and determined to continue their magical playoff run.
(3)Houston at (2)New England (3:30pm CT CBS): As much as Houston fans want me to pick the Texans against the Patriots this weekend, it is not a proper pick. The Texans began the season 11-1, but I have no confidence in them. They've struggled mightily since that devastating 42-14 loss on Monday Night Football in Week 14 with a 2-3 record and a sloppy victory over the Bengals to begin the playoffs last weekend. The Tom Brady and Bill Belichick-led Patriots love playing this time of year and will tromp the Texans for the second time this season.
2013 NFL Playoff Pick Em Record (Through Wild Card Weekend): 3-1
