NFL Playoffs 2009 – Divisional Weekend – Day 1
So last week I showed what a n00B I was when I went 1-3 on my playoff predictions and got pwned by the NFL playoffs. This weekend I am hoping for a better showing and looking forward to being at 2-2 on the weekend.
The divisional games are here and its looks to be an exciting weekend of football. Lets see what the NFL has in store for us today.
Game 1 - NFC Divisional Game: Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers
Last week I chose the Falcons to win over the Cardinals in Pheonix. It was one of my many wrong predictions for last weekend. Arizona showed some grit last weekend and Kurt Warner lit up the sky with pass after pass and yard after yard of awesomeness. While I am looking for that same type of performance from Warner today something inside tells me that he gave all he had last weekend. Carolina has been kicking butt and taking names all season, but doing it in a quiet way. Given all the conditions, I'd say this game goes to Carolina.
Game 2 - AFC Wildcard: Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans
Tennessee posted the best start of the season for any team this year, going 9-0 before tasting defeat for the first time. That doesn't automatically hand them this game, but their chances of victory are astonishing in my opinion. Baltimore is sporting the Ray Lewis led Ravens defense but today I think offense wins in this battle of power houses. My guess? Titans all the way.
Let's see how I do. Shooting for 2-2 on the weekend has to make my chances of hitting that goal pretty decent.
