NFL Playoff Round 2 pciks

Well there are seven games left and I'm down by 7. So from here on out I'll be picking against Loren, who only needs to pick one game right to win. Might as well get the Elway sign ready.

Arizona at New Orleans

Loren - New Orleans. I think my soul would be endangered if I took the Cards, even though I think they have the firepower to hang in with the Saints. Besides, you hate America if you pick against the Saints.

Derek - Arizona. They do have the firepower to stick with the Saints. It's not a huge long shot is it?

Baltimore at Indianapolis

Loren - Indianapolis. On the surface, this looks like another match up of high powered offense versus unbreakable defense. But Indy's D was overlooked for most of the year and people will be surprised how this rested team will be able to shut down Baltimore.

Derek - Baltimore. If the Ravens can rush it like they want too they can win. Their D is good enough to stop Manning. But they must control the ball.

Dallas at Minnesota

Loren - Minnesota. Again, picking against Dallas out of spite. Minnesota should win this game anyway, but anything can happen with Favre taking snaps.

Derek - Dallas is playing the best out of anyone right now. In the playoffs that's the most important thing (see Arizona last yet). Their D can shut down the Viks and their O can run over the Viks.

New York Jets at San Diego

Loren - San Diego. Okay, I flubbed most of the picks last week, but does anyone honestly think the Jets will be able to score against the Chargers, or keep them from scoring? San Diego is head and shoulders above the Bengals and this will be a blowout.

Derek - New York. Sure they are the worst team in the playoffs, sure they have to travel across country, sure the Chargers are great. But hey I'm desperate.
