The results for the Wild Card Games. Arizona 51, Green Bay 45 (OT), Baltimore 33, New England 14, Dallas 34, Philadelphia 14, N.Y. Jets 24, Cincinnati 14.
My picks for week one came out 2/2
This week the games get even more intense as the Divisional Rounds decide who will go to the AFL and NFL Championship games. The question is who will be going there?
So here are my predictions for the Divisional Games.
Sunday 17TH 1PM on FOX
Dallas Cowboys VS Minnesota Vikings
Vegas odds have Vikings favored between -2.5 to -3 points.
This is another game that should be packed with offense.
It will be up to the defense on either team to create turn overs that will determine the outcome of this game. Well at least thats what I think.
The Dallas offense averages 399 yards per game, while the Vikings average is 379 yards per game.
Dallas averages 367 passing yards per game, while Vikings average is 259 yards per game.
Dallas also averages 131 rushing yards, while the Vikings average 119 rushing yards.
Dallas averages 22 points per game, while the Vikings average 29 points per game.
The story is pretty much similar on the defensive side of the ball between these two teams.
Dallas Defenseive averages 315 yards allowed per game, while Vikings allowed 305 yards.
Dallas allowed an average of 225 passing yards per game, while the Vikings allowed 218 yards per game.
Dallas allowed an average of 15 points per game, and the Vikings allowed 19 points per game.
I had a hard time with this pick becuase I would like to see Brett Farve in the Super Bowl with the Vikings, but at the same time would like to see the Cowboys advance in the play offs. I believe it will come down to interceptions so I give the edge to Dallas.
MY PICK: COWBOYS
Sunday 4:30PM on CBS
New York Jets VS San Diego Chargers
Vegas has the Chargers favored by -7.5 to -8 points.
The New York Jets will need to pull out all the stops to beat the San Diego Chargers.
Looking at the averages on both sides of the field San Diego Chargers should win this game but stranger things have happened in the NFL.
The Offesive stats favor the Chargers:
Chargers averages 360 total yards per game, while the Jets average 321 Yards per game.
Chargers average 271 passing yards, and the Jets average only 148 yards.
Chargers average 88 rushing yards, while the Jets average 172 yards per game.
Chargers average 28 points per game, while the Jets average 21 points per game.
On the defensive side of the ball the averages favor the JETS however.
The Jets only allowed an average of 252 yards, while the Chargers allowed 327 yards.
Jets only allowed an average of 153 passing yards, while Chargers allowed 209 yards.
Jets only allowed an average of 14 points per game, while the Chargers allowed 20.
Jets only allowed 31% of third down conversions, the Chargers allowed 40%.
I think this will set up a classic offense vs defense game, and I feel the Jets have been under estimated up to this point.
The Jets would be the headline story if they can manage to beat the Chargers.
I like San Diego and would like to go with the Vegas odds but I am going to pick an upset in this game and say the Jets pull off a win in San Diego.
My Pick: JETS
