Free NFL Playoff Picks from Stephen G. – Divisional Round January 12-13, 2013

…And then there were eight…  We’re getting down to the nitty gritty and the big boys are playing this weekend and the real action begins.  This week, we have 3 re-matches and a game where the #1 seed in the NFC feels like an underdog.  As for the re-matches, will the outcomes be the same or will there be revenge extracted?  Will we get the much-anticipated AFC title game between Manning and Brady?  Will Ray the-drama-queen Lewis play his final game?  Will the Kaepernick insertion at QB for San Fran blow up or pay dividends?  Enough of the speculation, let’s pick the games.

SATURDAY 1/12

Denver Minus 9 – The Donkeys are on a roll frankly and if they could wax Baltimore’s ass on the road, there is no reason to think they won’t at home.  Plus, Peyton is something like 11-0 against the Ravens in his career.  I think that may constitute a trend.

Green Bay Plus 2.5 – This is one rematch where the psychological edge is with the Pack, but more importantly, they can DO something about it.  Rodgers is very capable of lighting up the Niners and should have learned something by watching what Brady was able to do against that defense.

SUNDAY 1/13

Atlanta Minus 2.5 – This is a game where most of the experts and Johnny Public is on Seattle.  Well, not-so-fast-my-friends!  Seattle lost their best edge rusher and Atlanta is a much better team than Washington  in my opinion.  Atlanta has had 2 weeks to prepare, they have something to prove to their critics and have had time to stew and whip themselves up into a frenzy.  I think this line moved down into a nice number because of the public’s love for Seattle.  Give me the Dirty Birds at home.

Houston Plus 9.5 – This rematch will be much closer than the first game which got away from the Texans early and snowballed on them.  They will show pride and give a much better effort in this one.  I don’t think they are as good as NE and eventually they will get worn down and lose, but they will at least earn respect for putting up a better fight.
