NFL Post Season: Divisional Round (SU, v SPR & PROPS picks)


2014-15 NFL POST SEASON: DIVISIONAL ROUND
TEAMS
GAME PICK (SU)
GAME PICK (vSPR)
BAL v NE
BAL
BAL (+7.0)
“THE LAST PLAY”
Shades of the 2012-13 season Playoffs are on display in Massachusetts this weekend as the traveling Birds put on a clinic in Foxborough and hand the hometown Pats another disappointing Post Season exit. A tight-knit game throughout, the road heroics of BAL QB Flacco (as per his M.O. in the Playoffs) shine brightly in the final moments of this match, leading the Ravens to the AFC Championship and an excellent opportunity at potting another Super Bowl victory for their Maryland fan base.


CAR v SEA
SEA
SEA (-10.5)
“THE LAST PLAY”
The Seabirds continue their trek towards consecutive Super Bowl victories this Saturday when they handily down the traveling Cats at the Hawks’ Nest. CAR, who entered the 2014-15 season Playoffs as the only team with a sub-.500 record in the Regular Season Standings, display their ineptitude to vie with a competitor of this magnitude when on the road and exit this year’s Playoffs a week later than anticipated/deserved.

DAL v GB
GB
GB (-6.0)
“THE LAST PLAY”
In spite of Regular Season statistics insinuating this game is fairly-designed, the end result of this matchup is in no way a surprise to any seasoned NFL fan. The propensity of the ‘Boys to blow big games in comparison to the historical efficiency of the Packers (especially when playing at hometown Lambeau Field) at winning important Playoff showdowns makes the victor of this contest a no-brainer. Big D puts up a big fight here but, in the end, is in for a world of big disappointment this weekend in Wisconsin.

IND v DEN
DEN
DEN (-7.0)
“THE LAST PLAY”
DEN QB Manning continues his year-in, year-out pilgrimage towards a Super Bowl ring this weekend at Mile High Stadium when he squares off against his former alma mater in the Indianapolis Colts. IND QB Luck has been a worthy successor to Peyton in middle-America, however, Colts & Broncos fans cannot buck the fact Manning is, and forever will be, by far the greater talent of the two supremely-gifted QBs.  The inability of Indy to perform at a high level when faced against top-tier talent this campaign is the difference-maker in this matchup.
