We've made it to the last big weekend of football for the season. The no.1's and 2's will be back in action this week. Having the week off can de both good and bad, it can get your team healthy and some rest or time off can get you out of your rhythm.
Divisional Weekend Picks:
1) The New Orleans Saints head west to take on the surprise team in the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco is back in the thick of things, under their new coach. The Saints are not the same team on the road that they are at home, (in the dome) but the Saints have a lot of weapons. I'll pick the New Orleans Saints (-3.5) on the road in San Francisco. Saints -3.5
2) The Denver Broncos travel to New England to play the Patriots. Its been a long time since the Patriots won a playoff game and even though the defense can be scary at times, the Patriots don't loose much at home this season. Denver has a good team but on the road in the playoffs, I think Tim Tebow has run out of lack. I'll pick the New England Patriots (-13.5) at home over the Denver Broncos. Patroits -13.5
3) The Houston Texans who got a win last weekend, travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The Texans are a young team with a rookie quarterback and the Raven team should prove to much for them to handle. I'll pick the Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) at home over the Houston Texans. Ravens -7.5
4) The NY Giants travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers. I think the Giants are prepared to have a good game on Sunday (the pass rush will have to be there), although the key will be to control the ball and limit Aaron Rodgers and the Packers possessions. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are very good at spreading the wealth on offense, I think its kind of a perfect storm for the Packers having a bye, (their all healthy) having a funeral to rally around, and their home. I'll pick the Green Bay Packers at home over the giants (+7.5). Packers win, Giants +7.5 get the spread
