NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round Predictions




Bracket Update: 
Rutz was able to knock off Bradley last week, officially eliminating the worst picker of the five guys.  Rutz advances to face the number one seed Joe.  Ryan and Jeff face off in hopes of getting to the championship.  For a closer look at who picked whom look at the graphic below.  Remember: ties in this round are determined by higher seed, giving a slight advantage to Joe and Ryan.  Good luck guys!

Joe: Seahawks 
Rutz: Falcons 
Ryan: Falcons
Jeff: Seahawks 
Bradley: Seahawks
This is a case of "who do you trust more in crunch time"? Seattle had a pretty bland year by their standards, while Atlanta might have been the most exciting team in football. If this game were in the regular season, I'd give Atlanta the edge in their home stadium. However, Seattle has been cash money in the postseason over the past few years, while Matt Ryan has not. I do not trust the Falcons to bring it when the chips are down. Seattle's recent playoff history speaks for itself, and I think they add to it on Saturday. 

Sehawks 24, Falcons 21

Will the Patriots lose?
Hahahahaha.


Packers (10-6) at Cowboys (12-4)
Joe: Packers
Rutz: Packers
Jeff: Packers
Ryan: Cowboys
Bradley: Cowboys
Without question the marquee matchup of the weekend. Dallas is for real. There is no doubt about that. However, have you seen Aaron Rodgers over the second half of the season Pretty good, eh?  I can't pick against the Packers when they are in this much of a zone, and I believe they won't stop until Superbowl Sunday.

Packers 34, Cowboys 24
