NFL Divisional Playoff Prediction

Ravens vs Patriots - The Ravens are suddenly one of the hottest teams and Joe Flacco is on fire. The Ravens have a ton of momentum and the defense is playing tuff. They got to Big Ben and that was the difference in the win. The Ravens will have a great shot if they can pressure Tom Brady often. The Pats were the best team in the NFL most of the year and hardly imagine themselves being one and done. Of all the games this one has the most upset potential. I think the Ravens can win this ball game. However I still would have to pick the Patriots.
Patriots 24 , Ravens 21

Panthers vs Seahawks - The Hawks got back on track at the right time and they appear to be the team to beat yet again in the NFC. The Hawks have had some convincing wins at home , but also some convincing loses. The Panthers have been playing very good of late ,  Jonathan Stewart went on the run of his career. If the Panthers are going to win this game they need the defense to keep pace with the Panthers. They also need Cam Newton to play like he did against the Falcons rather than the Cardinals.
Seahawks 17 , Panthers 13

Cowboys vs Packers - Does the calf injury to Aaron Rodgers scare me? A little bit , however the Packers are so tuff at home. It is really hard to beat the Packers , in fact they haven't lost at home all year and Rodgers has not thrown a pick their all year. The Cowboys have not lost on the road so something has to give. The Cowboys are riding a magic wave and Tony Romo continues to play great. I think the Cowboys have a shot to upset them. I am going with the better all around team in my mind.
Packers 31 , Cowboys 27


Colts vs Broncos - This is now the third time we will see Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck do battle. The two are 1-1 against each other. Luck and Manning were one and two in touchdown passes. Peyton Manning has not looked himself of late and many are concerned about the Broncos. I think Manning will come out firing however the run game is so strong. CJ Anderson has been great. The Colts have become two one dimensional without Ahmad Bradshaw and I think it will effect them against a good Denver defense. Many people are debating Peyton Manning's legacy once again , Manning will just be focused on the game.
Broncos 28 , Colts 24




I think all of these games will be close and an upset is possible in all of them.
