Zen Master's divisional Play-off predictions | Zen Masters's Blog

I went 3-1 last week, didn't think the Cards D had it in them.

Arizona @ Carolina

My Pick- Carolina

Arizona showed some fight last week, so I don't expect a blowout. However I don't think the Panthers D is going to roll over like the Dirty Birds did. Arizona needs to play even better than they did last week, because one slip and DeAngelo Williams is gone to the house for 6. Williams reminds me a bit of LDT in way of their running styles.

Arizona won last week off balance, but is Edge reliable enough to put money on him to repeat last week? No.

Final Score

Carolina-28

Arizona- 17

Players of the game

Offense- Deangelo Williams

Defense- Chris Gamble

Eagles @ Giants

My Pick- Eagles

Call it a hunch, but I don't see Eli playing the way he did last year. Especially without Plax and with Brandon Jacobs battling injuries.

The Eagles run D is superb, they held AP in check last week and were ranked 4th against the run . The Giants will have to throw the ball a little more than they want, and the last thing the Giants want is for Eli to throw the ball an exessive amount of time, especially with a game Changer like Asante Samuel waiting for a duck.

Final score

Eagles- 21

Giants- 17

Players of the game

offense- Donovan McNabb

defense- Asante Samuel

Ravens @ Titans

My pick- Ravens

The Ravens have Ed Reed playing center field. And if that weren't bad enough for the Titans, they have Kerry "Let's see how far I could chuck this" Collins. Collins is like a vending Machine, if you hit it hard enough you'll get some free treats.

The Ravens offense is good enough to earnthe W. I see this as a low scoring game.

Final Score:

Ravens- 17

Titans- 7

Players of the game

Offense- Derrick Mason

Defense- Haloti Ngata

Chargers @ Steelers

My Pick- Chargers

Here is a doozy of a stat for you, Philip Rivers has lost consecutive games to a team just 1 time in his career. So, saying Pittsburgh beat San Diego is almost guarenteeing a W for San Diego.

Pop quiz, where did the lines,"It lives!" come from? Frankenstein? No! It was me talking about the San Diego D last week. They pressured Manning all day, and they have Big Ben at QB (I'll refer you back to the Vending Machine Metaphore).

Final Score

San Diego- 23

Pittsburgh- 13

Players of the game

Offense- Vincent Jackson

Defense- Luis Castillo

Hindsight is always 20-20.
Having said that, your Ravens picks was pretty damn close.
VERY FEW saw the Cardinals win last night. Jake Delhomey looked like he was stoned.
Home teams today will win, both games will be brutally physical.
