NFL Divisional Playoffs:
Yeah I went 1-3 last week, but I was just getting warmed up.
Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints -7
You can never underestimate a hot Quarterback in the playoffs. Kurt Warner is on Fire and the Saints have been in the deep freeze for about a month.
I have always gone by the theory that the last four weeks of the season are very important. The Saints look like an average team. The Cardinals defense might not be able to stop them, but they do have a tendency to come up with a turnover at just the right time and I think that will be the difference.
Arizona 30 vs. New Orleans 28
—
Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts -6
If Joe Flacco was healthy I would be incline to pick the Ravens, but the thing about the Colts the teams they lose to are always the same and they find a way to beat everyone else. That includes the Ravens who they have never lost to.
Indy 24 vs. Baltimore 13
—
Dallas Cowboys +3 vs. Minnesota Vikings
While many would point to Tony Romo wearing his ball cap correctly (frontwards not backwards) as the key to the Cowboys success the real reason is the Cowboys defense is currently in beast mode.
You combine a defense playing at a high level with a very talented offense that has confidence right now that is a bad combination for Old Man Favre and the Vikings who like the Saints have been so-so at best are in for a wakeup call.
Dallas 27 vs. Minny 20

New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers -7
I have sources in San Diego trying to figure out if Rex Ryan will rock the Sweater Vest in the Cali not that it will matter. Easiest game of the weekend:
NYJ 10 vs. SD 31
