NFL Divisional Round Predictions

New Orleans @ San Francisco

The Bottom Line:

The Niners’ defence and home field manage to contain the Saints—to some degree. Drew Brees still finds a way to get the Saints in the end zone, while Alex Smith can’t quite keep up.

The Score:
Saints win 31-24

Drew Brees will lead the Saints to a win in San Francisco

Denver @ New England

The Bottom Line:

Bill Belickick’s secondary does enough to confuse Tim Tebow, and Tom Brady continues to be the Golden Boy. Again, this is a case of one offence—Denver—not being able to keep pace.

The Score:

Patriots win 38-17

Houston @ Baltimore

The Bottom Line:

Both teams put up a fight, with both defences playing well all day. Ultimately, Joe Flacco makes more plays than T.J. Yates,

The Score:
Ravens win 24-13

Terrell Suggs and the Ravens' D will prove too much for TJ Yates

New York Giants @ Green Bay

The Bottom Line:

The Giants D-line bothers Aaron Rodgers enough to make this a game. Meanwhile, Eli Manning continues his ascension into the elite quarterback realm. Ultimately, though, the Packers prove to have too many weapons, as Rodgers still guides his team to the win.

The Score:

Packers win 31-28
