NFL Divisional Playoffs










Here we are in round two of the 2005 season Playoffs. Are you ready for some upsets? I can give you at least one reason why all four favored hometeams can lose this weekend. Here we go:

Seahawks: Redskins defense and passing game against weak Seattle secondary.
Colts: Steelers toughness on Defense and at QB. Colts could be rusty.
Bears: Panthers defense and better offense than Chicago.
Broncos: Patriots defense overall could rattle Denver QB (Jake Plummer).

Yes folks, Defense does win Championships. If it weren't for defense the teams playing this weekend couldn't have made it this far, except for Seattle who's schedule was full of lower ranking opponents. Questions to be answered by the favorites:

Can Seattle break it's streak of 6 playoff game losses?
Can Indianapolis shake off the rust from two meaningless games and a bye?
Can Chicago score against a third ranked defense?
Can Denver break the Patriots streak of 10 consecutive playoff wins?

These questions and more will be answered this weekend when the Divisional Playoff games kickoff.

My Picks for on the road to the Superbowl? Why not, everyone else has given there's:

Seahawks beat Redskins
Panthers beat Bears
Colts beat Steelers
Patriots beat Broncos

Panthers beat Seahawks
Colts beat Patriots

Colts beat Panthers
