    Eagles are the first ever #1 seed to be an underdog in the Divisional round. I personally think they'll beat the Falcons. Playing in LA is not unlike playing in a dome. Having to play in Philadelphia where it'll be a bit colder as they're expecting a front that day will be a bit different. Of course, that still depends on Nick Foles. They're going to have to be able to run the ball at least as well as the Rams did.

    Pats win easily and hopefully in a record blowout.

    Steelers win win but it will be a good tight game.

    Vikes and Saints are a toss up, IMO.

    I think the Vikings will beat the Saints. Keenum's chance of a lifetime to earn a huge contract, and the Vikings defense is stout. Likely be decided by a field goal. Plus, Vikings have had two weeks rest and extra time to game plan.

    Keenum has earned himself a nice contract win or lose.

    Vikings defense is good but they're going to have to put up a good amount of points to beat this saints team. theres just too many weapons that they can expose teams with. Keenum w/o any experience could be costly as well

    True, experience could be a factor; however, Keenum has played in championship games in college. I expect him to be sharp. Especially in a dome with two weeks rest. The Vikes are going to pound the running game as well.

    Falcons 23 Eagles 10 - Falcons appear in the groove they could not find all season long. Should be a cake walk.
    Titans 27 Patriots 26
    - Think that if Mularkey uses nothing but no huddle, even in the miserable weather, the Titans will win because without that no huddle they are too clogged up on offense.If Mularkey wants to attack the Patriots weak ass run defense, think that is a mistake, like adding milk to eggs, LL Cool J., even though Henry is legit stud.
    Steelers 40 Jaguars 7 - The Steelers WR are even more talented than the Jaguars coverage, which is scary.
    Vikings 21 Saints 20 - I'm just doing this for Case, but I think the Saint indoors, on turf, should destroy the Vikings. Saint 31 Viking 20

    A) I'm a Steelers fan
    B) I'll be in Vegas this weekend

    Tell me right now if you're the second coming of Nostradamus so I can start planning my celebratory weekend. If not, I don't want to get my hopes up.

    Come on folks, nobody wants to pick the Jaguars?

    I'll take em.

    Defense wins in the playoffs.

    Plus, Roethlisberger's heart is no longer in the game, Jags defense will fluster Ben and force him to make poor decisions. Ramsey and crew will have multiple picks. Book it.

    WTF 6-3 I saw the td but missed it, did they miss an extra point? Surely didn't go for 2 in that situation

    edit another fumble, both these teams are trash I hope neither make the superbowl. He's good but cant put finger on why but never been a matt ryan fan.

    Props to the Eagles for pulling this out. Foles missed some key throws in the 1st half but he recovered nicely. Eagles defense really stepped up.

    They will probably lose next week but it's all good right now.

    matt ryan's decision on 2nd down in the rz was dumb as hell. getting beat by foles who just started playing at the end of the season.
