I went 3-1 for the Wild Card round. I like to think I'm much better at picking the playoffs than I am the regular season. We'll see.
Here are this week's picks (home teams in CAPS, Bill's picks in red):
Ravens (+3) over TITANS
I believe Baltimore will be representing the AFC in Tamp Bay on February 1st. This will be a low-scoring affair, but I see the Ravens winning by at least three.
PANTHERS (-10) over Cardinals
Ugh. I went back and forth on this one. While I think the Panthers will win this one, ten points seemed like a lot to give up, you know? Screw it. Panthers by two TDs.
Eagles (+4) over GIANTS
The Eagles are H-O-T right now. As long as they can get some semblance of a running game going, they will win this game outright.
Chargers (+6) over STEELERS
This was the hardest game on the board for me. I don't see Sproles running that well against Pittsburgh's defense. Pittsburgh's own running game has been largely nonexistent this year. Who knows what kind of condition Roethlisberger is in? So when in doubt, take the points.
