NFL DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF WEEKEND
Saturday, Jan. 16
AFC Divisional Round Game 1
Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots 4:35 p.m., CBS
Chiefs have now won eleven in a row. the Patriots will provide a sterner test than the Texans did, but they are depleted. Chiefs are on a roll led by their defense, and while Alex Smith is not in Tom Brady's class, he'll do well enough for KC to win. KANSAS CITY!
NFC Divisional Round Game 1
Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers 8:15 p.m., NBC
Packers were embarrassed by the Cardinals just three-four weeks ago. While The Pack looked good against the Redskins last week, that was against the Redskins and this week it's the Cardinals in Arizona. CARDINALS!
Sunday, Jan. 17
NFC Divisional Round Game 2
Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks 1:05 p.m., FOX
In the playoffs, the Seahawks seem to have nine lives, escaping last week when the Minnesota kicker missed a chip-shot FG. Last year they needed an OT miracle to beat the Packers and make it to the Super Bowl. Two years before that they had a narrow escape against Atlanta. Regardless, they somehow come through with the 'W'. Now they face the Panthers in Carolina.... Russell Wilson is playing great and won't have to face a harsh climate like in Minnesota. What about Newton and the Panthers? Are they really as good as that 15 - 1 record? They did beat the Seahawks in Seattle... Nah, I think Seattle somehow comes through again.... SEAHAWKS!
AFC Divisional Round Game 2
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos 4:40 p.m., CBS
I don't know the status of Roethlisberger or Antonio Brown, nor whether Osweiler or Manning will be at QB. The Broncos are very strong on D, but not so much on O. Playing in Denver isn't so intimidating anymore. Oh hell with it... STEELERS.
