This is it, the final weekend of games before the Super Bowl. The last month we’ve been hearing about playoff seedings, bye weeks and home field advantage. Are all those things really important? Historically it has been during the second round of the playoffs. Teams with the bye have home field advantage and two weeks to prepare, both of which are usually important edges this time of year. However, during the conference championship games that kick off this weekend, history shows us that the...

Not my clients as we had the Cardinals. Maybe we got lucky in OT as Aaron Rogers just missed on a long pass that would have gone for six. The Saints must be licking their chops after watching Aaron Rogers torch Arizona’s backfield...
Read more about NFC Divisional Playoffs Preview: Cardinals at Saints NFL Playoffs Wildcard Recap - January 14, 2010The Wild card round of the playoffs were for the most part high scoring games that saw every game go over the posted total prior to kickoff.

With the divisional round of the playoffs on deck there are four more offenses and quarterbacks on the field that are very capable. While the Colts, Saints, Vikings and Chargers had an extra week to prepare and rest games for the second round of playoffs, the Bengals,...

The Eagles lost their starting Center two weeks ago and that’s always tough when the new center starts his first game. No team is playing...

The weather will be frigid, with wind chills expected to be in the single digits at game time and the possibility of a few flurries, but I wouldn’t expect the weather to benefit one team or the other. The Jets pasted the Bengals 37-0 last week in the season finale, but this one means something to both teams. The Bengals didn’t necessarily...

That was the case on Saturday with my NFL picks, as I ended the day with a 1-2 outcome, despite having the right plays on both games. Let’s take a look at how my Saturday NFL selections turned out. My first selection of the day was the Tennessee Titans at -3. My basic thinking was that Baltimore looked much better than they really are the previous week against an over-rated Miami Dolphin team. In...

With that being said, these two contests feature interesting match-ups. The AFC Championship game has two teams that have been playing well all season, mainly because of dominant defenses, while their offenses have scored enough to get the win. Meanwhile, the NFC Championship has two teams that seemed to be at rock bottom just a...
