2-2 last weekend but came out ahead because I made a good size play on Denver. 26-7-1 in my last 36 and hoping to go 2-0 this weekend.
105 Pittsburgh @
106 Denver -3
Denver -3
- Tough game to call because of Pitts wild win last week, but I honestly I think Indy is still the better team. I think the Colts would win a best-of-five game series. The Colts game plan was terrible last week and the adjustments were worthless. I still think this Pitt team is slightly a little over-rated but just had the better game plan last week. And I think Denver could be the best team left in the playoffs.
There is a little history between these two teams the Steelers are in the AFC championship game for the sixth time in 14 years under Cowher. The first five were all at home and they lost four of them, including a 24-21 defeat to Shanahan and the Broncos in the last postseason game ever played at Three Rivers Stadium on January 11, 1998. Two weeks later, Denver upset the Green Bay Packers, 31-24, in Super Bowl XXXII. The Broncos lead, 14-8-1, including 3-2 in the postseason.
Here are some things I mentioned last week about Denver and for the most part still hold true.
Its hard to go against Pitt with that defense but this is the 16th straight game they have played and think it is going to catch up to them this week. And Pitts is not going to be able to run the ball on Denver and the Broncos are going to make Ben win the game. I don't see this happening because he is still a young QB and needs a little more experience in my opinion. I see him TO the ball in this game and Pitt losing another AFC. Deep down I would still like to see "the Bus" play in the big one so I won't be completely pissed off if I lose.
107 Carolina @
108 Seattle -3.5
Seattle -3.5
-Sort of seems like Carolina is the popular play in this one but I am going to disagree with the Panthers play. I have been struggling with this game all week but it looks like the injuries are going to catch up to the Panthers this week. Peppers will play but he is not going to be 100% and this team is just beat up with their 13 straight game.
Seattle looked very soft last week with guys getting hurt and Alexander looked like some kind of a butt pirate jumping up and down on the sidelines last week. And Hasselbeck made some really dumb decisions throwing the ball which worries me a little. But I love Seattle's defense they are very talented. Only allowing 12.6 ppg at home and I think 5th in rushing defense. They shouldl be able to contain Smith without having the big threat of the ground game. I have a feeling Alexander has a much better showing this week.
Both these games have a Wild Card team playing but I just don't think they are going to be able to get it done. Winning three straight on the road is tough and it has been an long up and down season for both these Wild Card teams. Which isn't the case for the two home teams because they have home field-advantage for a reason and its because these teams are very good. Another thing that I like is these two favorites hasn't lost a home game all season. But we'll see what happens and both games should be pretty good considering what is on the line.
Good Luck to all who play!
