Dux’s Picks: Playoff Record 2-6

Dux’s Analysis:
ravens – ray lewis will murder brady for the win
giants – alex smith sux
u cant spell ex-lax without alex smith

Sco0′s Picks: Playoff Record 5-3

Sco0′s Competent Analysis:
Due to the new kickoff rules starting teams farther from the endzone, 2011 was the year of record breaking offensive production. However, we’ve rung in the new year and it’s all about defense Defense DEFENSE! It’s playoff time and QBs are getting shaky in the knees while DBs are getting the hungries. This week, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers will be victorious, bringing slight redemption to their pathetic and stinky fanbases. Harbaughs unite in Indy and lick each other’s faces.

Fred’s Picks: Playoff Record 4-4

Fred’s Competent Analysis:
Everything’s coming up Harbaugh! While the Ravens struggled offensively against the impenetrable Houston Texans defense; the New England Patriots have a defense that is so horrible it broke records. The only team the Patriots beat of note was the Broncos. The Ravens have dominated against real teams: beating the Steelers twice, Bengals twice, Texans twice & 49ers. Just one of those wins is more impressive than all of the Patriots wins combined. John’s squad wins 27-13 because they are the far superior team.

Everything broke right for the 49ers this past weekend – Alex Smith became a quarterback & the Giants overcame repeated ref riggage to eliminate the only team in the NFC that could’ve sent the 49ers out of the playoffs. The Giants beat the Packers when the Packers played their worst game of the season & as mentioned they also beat the refs. Unfortunately the deck is stacked too high against Eli. Not only are the 49ers at home & therefore the refs will obviously rig in their favor, but it’s also supposed to rain all weekend in San Francisco; making an already illegally damp field even wetter. 49ers trounce Giants 33-19.

Grizzly’s Picks: Playoff Record 4-4

Grizzly’s Incoherent Babbling:
Patriots defeat Ravens 27-10
Patriots have offense and some defense
Ravens have defense and some offense
If the Ravens are as strong as they claim, why ddi they allow Houston to come all the way back
if not for the Ravens D, houston might have actually won that game
Patriots will just runover everyone on their quest to the SuperBowl
don’t let an early lapse in offense fool you
who cares if they are down 10-0? They might end up scoring the final 27 or so
they did it the last 2 weeks in the regular season and could do it again
Brady > Flacco

In an highly unlilkely NFC championship matchup, Giants WILL beat the 49ers
regardless, if there is a power outage, Giants will find a way to take care of Alex Smith
49ers beat everyone up in the NFC West and the West really isnt that good
Giants couldn’t beat the Redskins twice but, they beat Cowboys twice and took care if Green Bay at Green Bay!
Eli > Alex Smith
If the Giants trail in the 4th, Eli will put them out of their hole

49ers blew a 17 pt lead and trailed in the 4th before a miracle happened
Not miracles Sunday for 49ers
Not Today
No Boors Head Deli Meat for you
Giants win 16-13

Scoot’s Picks:

It’s time once again for some NFL picks. In addition to the Grizzly Bear & I giving our picks & thoughts; we have a guest “picker” this week!

Grizzly’s Picks:

Scoot Brueglen’s Picks:

Scoot’s Analysis:
The Jets are trash and should have 5 losses. Nick Folk will need 6 field goals to have a chance because Sanchez will certainly fail. Buffalo 24 – Jets 15

Tampa Bay always pulls out one big victory against the Saints each season. Since that has already happened, expect them to lose. Saints 44 – Bucs 21

The long awaited 2008 Superbowl rematch will expose the Giants. Since they no longer have helmet-catchers, they will flail and die. Patriots 44 – Giants 14

Packers look destined for a perfect season and their offense and defense will dominate the Chargers in all aspects. Chargers 24 – Packers 23

This snoozefest will be a game to forget for sure. Baltimore defense will turn meat patties into roethless burgers. Ravens 16 – Steelers 16

Bears will keep it close but we all know they’ll blow it. Black coaches have difficulties in pressure situations. Eagles 19 – Bears 16

Fred’s Picks:

Fred’s Analysis:
The Jets can’t run the ball well, they can’t pass the ball well & they can’t stop the run. The Bills picked off a future hall of famer named Tom Brady 4 times earlier this season. If Sanchez isn’t picked off 6 times I’ll be shocked. Bills roll 34-3

Neither Tampa nor New Orleans tried in their previous game. But New Orleans got killed by one of the worst teams in the league; at least Tampa got embarrassed by an average team. Therefore I think Tampa eeks one out here. Tampa 24 New Orleans 20

I expect a shootout here, much like their Week 17 matchup of yesteryear. Same result in the end Patriots 38 Giants 35

Rivers has yet to play a decent game this year & even if he has a good one here the Chargers can’t keep pace with Rodgers. Packers 47 Chargers 35

Unlike Scoot I have some insight on this game. The Steelers have a mediocre offensive line, so Big Ben will be small benjamin all day long. The Steelers also feature a mediocre running back; as a result Big Ben has to throw more. The Ravens have a great defense & should have no problems on offense against an aging, injured, decrepit defense of the Steelers. Ravens 39 Steelers 14

If Matt Forte doesn’t have at least 200 total yards of offense & three touchdowns against the porous Eagles defense then the Bears might as well cut him. But since Mr. Forte wants his money expect a hall of fame type day out of him. We’re talking better than Murray’s numbers against the Rams. That & a little ref riggage will prevent the Eagles from winning. Bears 38 Eagles 22

Week 5 offers a number of intriguing games. The Grizzly Bear & I are back to offer our picks for this week!

Oakland @ Houston:
Grizzly’s Pick: HOUSTON; Houston is the team to beat in the south
Fred MRMins Pick: The Raiders should be charged up after the passing of Al Davis but they are facing a team that is far superior. Look for the Raiders bereavement to keep the game closer than it should be with the Texans winning 31-20.

Tampa Bay @ San Francisco:
Grizzly’s Pick: TBAY; Tbay will show what philly and cincy tried to do the past 2 weeks but failed
Fred MRMins Pick: Potentially the best game of the week. Two teams destined for playoff contention can solidify their playoff hopes. Expect a defensive battle with the 49ers pulling it out 17-13.

Jets @ Patriots:
Grizzly’s Pick: JETS; jets WILL NOT go into their MNF game against Miami under .500
Fred MRMins Pick: The Jets have looked like a high school football team the last few weeks; expect that to continue with the Patriots smacking them around 45-3.

Green Bay @ Atlanta:
Grizzly’s Pick: GBAY; Atlanta is a diff team and will not win the championship game of last year that should have happened
Fred MRMins Pick: Atlanta’s offense has looked stagnant at times this season. Green Bay’s offense has yet to sputter this year. I expect more of the same with the Packers winning 42-24.

Chicago @ Detroit:
Grizzly’s Pick: DETROIT; Detroit to remain undefeated
Fred MRMins Pick: The Bears are a mediocre team that seems to have outplayed who they are for some time now. The Lions continue to improve in every facet of the game. If Stafford doesn’t get hurt the Lions should coast to a 34-10 victory.

Not too many games in Week 3 that won’t be blowouts, so the Grizzly Bear & I will pick the games that should be interesting.

Houston @ New Orleans:

Fred’s Pick: New Orleans defense has looked terrible against everyone this year, so expect Houston to win by 2 TDs
Grizzly’s Pick: Houston by 1

New England @ Buffalo:

Fred’s Pick: Upset Special!!!! Expect Buffalo to win on a late field goal
Grizzly’s Pick: New England by 2 TDs

Green Bay @ Chicago:

Fred’s Pick: Green Bay coasts to a blowout victory 34-10
Grizzly’s Pick: Green Bay in a high scoring affair

Atlanta @ Tampa Bay:

Fred’s Pick: Atlanta wins it late, but not as late as Grizzly thinks! A late TD by Ryan leads Atlanta to 17-10 victory.
Grizzly’s Pick: Atlanta over Tampa Bay in OT

Last week I went 3-1 in my picks, thanks bribed refs & Grizzly Bear went 1-3. This weekend things should be a bit easier to determine with only two games on the docket. Grizzly & I, as usual will provide our insight, but this week we have guest game picker Artemus J. Moleking submitting his picks.

Grizzly Bear’s Comments:

Bears beat Gbay when the game counted. Bears find a way to pull it out.

Jets will win, they will beat Big Ben the rapist silly.

And the Mannings will win.

Fred Mrmins’ Picks:

Fred Mrmins’ Comments:

If the Packers don’t win by at least three touchdowns I’d be very surprised. The Packers are far superior in every way, except kick/punt returns. Packers have a far superior QB, far superior WR, a better RB tandem in Starks/Kuhn & a more dominant defense. The Bears have an overrated front seven & a mediocre secondary. That is probably why only Artemus thinks they can win. Packers will win 48 – 17.

The Steelers needed the Ravens receiver to drop every important catch (nearly 10 dropped passes), Ray Rice’s first career fumble, & Joe Flacco to overthrow Todd Heap (underthrows are more normal for Flacco) resulting in an interception. They also needed refereeing only Tim Donaghy would approve of. After the Ravens received an early pass interference call against the Steelers the refs decided the Steelers must win the game & that they must help them. On the Steelers first series the Ravens were called for a phantom pass interference call resulting in the Steelers getting 7 points. Then the refs called the Ravens for a defensive lineman holding, which I’ve seen called three times in my life, resulting in 7 more points. Then on the Steelers game winning TD drive the refs failed to call offensive pass interference on the Steelers, instead calling pass interference on the Ravens when no one on the team was within 5 yards of the receiver. Then the refs decided not to care about the Steelers having two false starts before they scored, but the Steelers offensive line had 10 holds & 8 false starts, I don’t believe one was called.

It is extremely unlikely the NFL tells the refs to make sure the Steelers win again. But if they do, it is doubtful it will look as blatant as it did last week. The Steelers are an inferior team & would lose to every team left in the playoffs, so expect the refs to keep the Steelers in it, but the Jets will win 24 – 16.

Another week of playoff football, another week Grizzly Bear & I will attempt to show our football acumen. To recap last week we both went 2-2 due to the upsets the Jets & Seahawks pulled off.

Grizzly Bear’s Picks:

Grizzly Bear’s Commentary:

Ravens 15 Steelers 14

Packers 24 Falcons 27

Seahawks 19 Bears 10

Jets 21 Patriots 18

Fred Mrmins’ Picks:

Fred Mrmins’ Commentary:

Ravens 24 Steelers 16: The Ravens are abundantly better than the Steelers. I expect the Ravens to carve up a terrible Steelers seconday by doing something the Steelers can’t do – protect the QB. I also expect the game to be in hand in the 4th quarter with Big Ben chucking the ball all over the place scoring a late meaningless TD to make the score respectable.

Packers 34 Falcons 27: The Packers aren’t great at running the ball, but they don’t hide it. For as unstoppable as Clay Matthews has been all year people seem to forget the Packers have a pretty darn good secondary. I expect a back & forth battle which will come down to which QB can make more plays. Since Aaron Rodgers has had to make more plays all season long, I expect the same in this game.

Bears 28 Seahawks 12: I’m not insane like my dear friend Grizzly. I’m not going to jump on the Seahawks band wagon because Roman Harper of the Saints decided not to try last week because he clearly bet his entire life savings on a Seahawks victory. The Bears put forth a D effort vs the Seahawks in Week 6, which was the Seahawks last strong outing prior to last week’s win & the Seahawks barely won that game. A C+ effort from the Bears will allow them to advance against a terrible team.

Jets 38 Patriots 34: I have no reason whatsoever to believe the Jets will win this game. Mark Sanchez has had the two worst games of his career in Foxboro against the Patriots. And in his two seasons the Patriots have been an average defensive team. Yet something in my gut makes me feel the Jets will have to score a late TD to win & will do so. Unfortunately for Jets fans the ride will be over when the Ravens destroy them next week.

There you have it, the divisional dividends will pay off soon enough for four teams.
