Divisional Playoffs....................

Well not bad yesterday as I went 2-0 on Saturday's contests. Today our first game has the now 8-9 Seahawks at Chicago to face the 11-5 Bears. Unlike the Saints, Chicago has had a week to rest and get fully prepared and they are at home. I am really sick and tired of hearing how great the Seahawks are considering they edged the Saints by a mere 5 points on a day when the Saints were down to a fullback as their only healthy running back and when the Saints defense played their absolute WORST game of the year. The Saints allowed 13 TD passes in the entire 2010 campaign and in Seattle last week allowed Matt Hasselback  to throw for 4 TD passes in one game not to mention an eight player missed tackle run that made Marshawn Lynch look like Jim Brown. AND with all that Seattle still could only win by FIVE points AT HOME! Now you tell me what you think will happen today. The Bears will expose the Seahawks for what they are.....A LOSING team that should not be in the playoffs regardless of their win last week. Just about any team could have beaten the Saints last week with all of the injuries they had and probably a good team would have beaten the Saints a lot worse. In the mind of the Seahawks they just won their Super Bowl last week beating the defending Champions. Today the Bears will bring them down to earth with a sound BUT-WHIPPING! Bears win BIG at home move on to the NFC Championship game against the Packers.
Next up the Game some have been waiting for. The Jets vs the Patriots. This will be a similar scenario as the Jets got the monkey off their backs by beating Peyton Manning at his own game,  a last minute drive to a winning field goal. The Patriots however, probably were hoping for this matchup instead of the against their nemesis the Colts. Either way it would be hard to pick against the Patriots if you have watched them play the last half of the season. In their final eight games(All Wins) only 2 were even close against the Colts & Packers which they beat by 4 & 3 points respectively. However, their average margin of victory over those eight games was 19 points and if you take away those two games,  it's even more incredible at 24 points per game. With those kinds of numbers it is hard to go against the grain. I won't be one of the ones to do so. The Jets 2010 story ends today at Foxboro. Patriots will show why they are the team to beat. Patriots win and move on to face the Steelers for the AFC Championship.
