Let's take a look how I did last weekend.

Kansas City @ Indianapolis:  My pick was Kansas City +7 and the Under 51.  Final score was Colts 23, Chiefs 8.  I missed Kansas City and hit the under (1/2).

Dallas @ Seattle:  My pick was Dallas +3 and the under 46.5.  The Seahawks prevailed, 21-20.  I hit both picks (2/2), (3/4 overall).

NY Jets @ New England:  I advised to pick the Jets +9 and the over 38.  The Patriots won 37-16.  Missed on the Jets, hit the over (1/2), (4/6 overall).

NY Giants @ Philadelphia:  I had the Eagles -7 with the over 46.5, but the Eagles only won 23-20 (0/2), (4/8 overall).

Just your every day .500 performance.  Maybe I'll do better in the second round.  Get your yellowpads out, here are my picks for the NFL Divisional Round of playoffs.

Indianapolis @ Baltimore (-4) (O/U 40.5)

Wow!  Easily the toughest game to pick this week, I don't think I would put money on this one even if I were a gambler.  What I'm looking at is the Indianapolis defense, which miraculously showed up against the Chiefs last week when nobody thought it would.  Was it for real, or a fluke?  My gut feeling is they continue their momentum on the road against the Ravens, possibly winning without the points but for sure coming within three.  The return of Bob Sanders helped shut down Larry Johnson, and they will do the same to Jamal Lewis, all the while Peyton Manning finds a way to beat a ridiculously good Baltimore defense.  Take Indy +4 along with the over.

Philadelphia @ New Orleans (-5.5 ) (O/U 48)

I have little doubt that the Saints will travel to Chicago in the next round, however, I must take the Eagles and the points for my money.  The way the Philadelphia defense has been playing lately, rushing the quarterback and forcing turnovers, they should be able to keep the game close into the fourth quarter.  They'll likely be without Lito Sheppard so look for the Saints to spread the field with multiple wideouts... and they'll be able to get away with it until Drew Brees gets his bell rung a few times and they're forced to bring more people in to pass protect.  Therefore, I also like the under 48.

Seattle @ Chicago (-9) (O/U 37)

First of all, take Seattle and the points.  Although neither team has played well of late I don't see the Bears blowing out a team in the playoffs.  The Bears will win this game and host the NFC Championship, but they will have get to get their hands dirty to get there.  They did blow out Seattle early in the season, but that a Seahawks team playing without Shaun Alexander and a Bears team playing with Mike Brown and Tommie Harris.  Rex Grossman will play well and the Bears will run the ball against a suspect Seahawks' front.  Of course, Chicago's defense is not the force it was before key injuries, so this game figures to be high scoring.  Go with the over 37.

New England @ San Diego (-5) (O/U 47)

Game of the week, baby!  Two match-ups I can't wait for in this game: 1) Bill Bilichick's ingenious defensive gameplan for LaDainian Tomlinson. 2) How Tom Brady will attack the ferocious Charger's pass rush.  Should be a great game to watch, but who to place your money on?  I'm looking at this game being a shootout so go with the over 47.  I'll predict 3 defensive and special team's touchdowns too.  I think the Chargers will win the Super Bowl and they are at home.  Shawne Merriman has a bone to pick with every NFL offense from here on out after feeling he's been shafted in the Defensive Player of the Year award voting.  Go ahead and give New England the points, take the Chargers.
