Wildcard Weekend Predictions: I wanted to have my whole blog done in time but I'm not quite there so I'll throw these up before the games get started and have the blog up and ready tomorrow sometime. So without further ado, it's playoff time and it's win or go home. Here's the way I see it going down.
Houston -4 over Cincy - A lot of people like Cincy here because of rookie TJ Yates as the Houston QB. Remember Dalton too, is a rookie and Cincy hasn't won any meaningful games down the stretch so I'm not expecting it to start here. I think Yates is good enough to win this one for the Texans, but if Delhomme gets into the action all bets are off. Houston
Lions +10.5 to cover against Saints- I don't expect the Lions to cover but I do expect them to be able to continue to put points on the board through til the final horn, giving them a shot at cover a spread of more than double digits. Without the .5 this might have swung the other way for me.
Falcons +3 over Giants - I would take the Falcons on the money line here because I believe they will win this game. The Giants are back to feeling good about themselves and that's never been a good thing, I'd like their chances more on the road in this spot. Anyway I think the Falcons have played pretty good football all year and that will be enough to get them by the G-Men this weekend.
Steelers -8.5 over Broncos - In the book of Tebow it reads; And on third loss Tebow was ridiculed and tormented for his inadequacies. They rebuked him and turned on their former savior just because he threw the ball to more members of the Bills team than Broncos. They lost faith and drove stakes in him (not literally, verbal stakes folks) just because he lost the most important game of the season to his former mentor, turned back up, turned exile, turned back up, turned starter, Kyle Orten. But it also reads... on the 4th game, Tebow rose from the ashes and led the Broncos to the unlikeliest of playoff upsets over the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers. What do you believe? Personally I'm atheist to this sort of thing. The cult of Tebow is over.
