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

Wild Card prediction for Saturday Jan 9th 2009
SATURDAY JAN 9Th 2009 features two games:
4:30pm on NBC
New York Jets VS Cincinnati Bengals
Jets had the play offs handed to them facing the Colts who decided to rest starters in the game.Jets also beat the Bengals 37-0 in the last game of the regular season.
The Jets have a young QB Mark Sanchez who will need to make some key plays for the Jets. Jets will bring the running game, and Jets have led the NFL in total defense and scoring defense much of the season
Jets won three of their final four games in regular season.
Bengals will bring the defensive game to rattle the Jets Offense.
The Bengals on the other hand have to be looking for revenge in this game after being beaten 37-0 by the Jets in the last game.
Bengals have had an interesting season with the death of player Chris Henry,and Chad Ochoncinco distracting the team with all his entertainment tactics.
Carson Palmer the Bengals QB will need to put some offense or the Jets will walk all over the Bengals again with the defense of the Jets.
Bengals have a Strong defense also however and chose to rest leading rusher Cedric Benson against the Jets on Sunday.
Bengals lost three of their final four games in regular season.
The Bengals need to stop the run as in the last meeting Mark Sanches only had eight passes for 63 yards.
Prediction for the game: Jets will run the ball, and the Bengals will need to stop the run, plus if the Bengals offense gets motivated the BENGALS WILL WIN THIS GAME!
8:00pm on NBC
Philadelphia Eagles VS Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys lead, 55-43, and have a 2-1 advantage in the playoffs. Dallas swept the series this season, 20-16, on the road Nov. 8; and 24-0 in the season finale at home on Sunday.
The Cowboys won an utterly one-sided affair Sunday, taking the division in the process. Tony Romo threw for 311 yards, the second time this season he topped 300 yards against the Eagles. Running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones each ran for 91 yards, and wide outs Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin each topped 90 yards receiving. It was a dominating performance for Dallas, which had 21 first downs to 10 for the Eagles. Donovan McNabb failed to top 230 yards passing in either game against Dallas. In the first meeting, he was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.
Dallas is the only team to truly bottle up the Eagles' big-play specialist this season. Jackson had just two catches for 29 yards in the first game. Sunday Jackson had just three catches for 47 yards. Without that vertical element, Philadelphia could be in trouble. Dallas is stout against the run, and while TE Brent Celek moves the chains, Jackson makes this offense go. If nothing else, the Eagles need to establish him in the screen game and find a way to make him a focal point.
DeMarcus Ware is a destructive force, and if he's able to run free, it's game over. Eagles LT Jason Peters has been battling injuries and the Eagles run a rhythm, timing offense. If the Eagles sell out to chip and defend Ware, Anthony Spencer needs to collect on the opposite side. Philadelphia's loss of center Jamaal Jackson, out for the season, may have an unsettling affect on the rest of the line.
Dallas swept the season series for the first time since 2005. ... Romo set Dallas single-season records for yards and completions. ... Any potential questions about Wade Phillips’ job security would be quashed by another win over Philadelphia this weekend.
Prediction for the game: Dallas is going to either bring the game to the Eagles are blow it and let the Eagles walk away with a win. I would say Dallas has an advantage in this game but the Eagles are looking for a huge upset so I am going with the Dallas!
