NFL Picks

Well another weekend of NFL playoffs approaches as some interesting rematches take place. Here's what we think will happen.

Saturday

Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans (4:30 PM)


  • Matt's pick: Ravens...The Titans have one of the worst strength of schedule in the NFL, not that they're not good, but possibly out of practice for a big game like this (They also lost to Farve and the Jets..)

  • Jay's pick: Titans

  • Casey's pick: Titans...this one is a tough call
Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers (8:15 PM)


  • Matt's pick: Panthers... I give credit to Atlanta's defense for being good, but the Panther's defense many times is very very good, and the rest of the time is solid. Arizona won't run like they did last week, and won't pass quite like they did. Not to mention the monster that is Steve Smith is lurking around, preventing them from sticking a ton of men in the box.

  • Jay's pick: Cards

  • Casey's pick: Panthers...I realize the Cards stopped the Falcons run game but the Panthers running attack is a different monster
Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants (1 PM)


  • Matt's pick: Giants...This pains me to pick, as both sides are good and bad picks. The Eagles are a hot team right now, but they've been there and lost a lot (See all those NFC championship games in the past 6 years they were in). The Giants love to beat themselves up when they should cruise to an easy victory. If the Eagles lose bad, expect McNabb and Reid to be looking for new jobs (seriously).

  • Jay's pick: Eagles... I fear for Andy Reid's job if they lose

  • Casey's pick: Eagles...think the third time is the charm for the Eagles
San Diego Chargers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (4:45 PM)


  • Matt's pick: Steelers...just because Pittsburg is a nasty place to play at. O Pittsburg fans, go easy on these poor Chargers. Turner's in trouble if the game is a blowout. Think I'm crazy? See what happened to Marty.

  • Jay's pick: Pass, oh, forgot that we can't- Steelers

  • Casey's pick: Steelers...its a tough call considering injuries at key positions for both teams
Enjoy the games. May your beer and snacks flow forth without end.
