Devils Advocate: Division Weekend

Once again, why each team will win their game, in much less detail....

Baltimore at Denver
  • Why the Ravens will win: Several teams seem to coast through the regular season because making the playoffs is a foregone conclusion. The Ravens are the poster boys for that type of team. They win because Joe Flacco steps it up and outduels Peyton Manning the way he did with Tom Brady in the AFC Championship last season.
  • Why the Broncos will win: That game I just referenced that Joe Flacco outdueled Tom Brady in? The Ravens lost that one, too.
Packers at 49ers
  • Why the Packers will win: The Pack are healthy at just the right time. Chasing Joe Webb around is good experience for chasing Colin Kaepernick around all night. The 49ers are the main team that Aaron Rodgers feels slighted by for not drafting him, so he'll be on a mission to shove it up the Niners asses.
  • Why the 49ers will win: Colin Kaepernick is NOT Joe Webb. Justin Smith plays and makes a huge impact in shutting down the Packers prolific passing game.
Seahawks at Falcons
  • Why the Seahawks will win: They are confident now after overcoming a 14-point deficit on the road in the postseason. The Seattle offense looks very comfortable and confident, and Marshawn Lynch should have a nice time running against a suspect Falcon run D.
  • Why the Falcons will win: Time to open it up, boys! The Falcons are loaded with weapons in the passing game, easily able to go 4 deep at WR and oh yeah, have the greatest Tight End to ever play, so the Falcons win if they can overpower the Seattle secondary and take advantage of a weaker D-line missing Chris Clemons.
Texans at Patriots
  • Why the Texans will win: Unless Tom Brady's knee takes an inexplicable 45 degree turn in the wrong direction, a la RGIII, they wont. See, I'm trying to give the Texans more bulletin board material so they can win the game. Let me know if it worked!
  • Why the Patriots will win: They showed up. *****BULLETIN BOARD*****
