My predictions this weekend:
Ravens to beat the Bronco's - I backed them (no bet though) as an outside shot all season and for that i'm not using my brain with this prediction, more of a want them to do it. With Ray Lewis' retirement that may be extra motivation, but admittedly it will be a fantastic game if they can stop Peyton Manning, a big IF.
Patriots to beat the Texans - Patriots with home field advantage and Tom Brady at the helm is enough to make this decision. Texans had a poor end to the season and haven't looked like the team they were. Plus their last outing against the Patriots was embarrassing and for that I can only see Brady playing the AFC championship game.
Seahawks to beat the Falcons - Sorry Pudge, Falcons definitely have a shot, if you can stop Wilson and Lynch, and Matt Ryan can get the passing game going to White and Jones then you will destroy them, plus home field advantage is important. Just fancy Russel Wilson to step out of his shell for this one after looking a bit nervous at the start of the redskins game.
Packers to beat the 49ers - I've not liked the 49ers in the 2nd half of the season, I don't think Kaepernick will be ready for a game like this. Green Bay on the other hand are rolling, Rodgers looks to be hitting form and I can't look past a team with Aaron Rodgers as QB.
