NFL Divisional Playoff Weekend- The Best Football Weekend of the Season

We are coming up on the NFL Divisional Playoff weekend. This weekend, in my mind, is the best weekend for football in the entire NFL season. The Eight best teams, four games, in two days. What a great way to spend 48 hours! This week of the season really represents the second to last "real" weekend of football.

After this we have Championship Sunday and of course then the Superbowl. The Superbowl has so many other things going on that make it an entirley different event... a week off in between Championship weekend and The Big Game....the media.... the hype... and of course Superbowl Sunday itself which has become an unofficial holiday in the country.

Anyways more on that later.

Be sure to tune onto our show on at 9 pm on http://www.sportsradiony.com Sunday and we’ll be talking all about the events of the weekend.

Here are my picks for the weekend ( for entertainment purposes only of course)..

Game 1 Baltimore at Tennessee- I'm taking the 3 points and the Ravens over the Titans- I think Tennessee has not been quite as good a team as its record would indicate. Ravens defense will come out on top in a low scoring game

Game 2 Arizona at Carolina- I’m going to take the Panthers and give up the 10 points. Arizona has been awful on the East Coast this year and played poorly down the stretch. Panthers are looking pretty fierce depite the late season loss to NY.

Game 3 Philadelphia at New York- It will be the third time these teams meet this year with each team winning on the opponent’s home field. Giants will look to control the line of scrimmage their running game of "Earth, Wind and Fire". Brandon Jacobs has looked great in practice this week which bodes very well for the "G-Men". Justin Tuck looks like a game time decision with a leg injury- a big loss for NY of he cannot play. I think the Giants are primed for getting picked off this week. They have not played well in the last month, and have had distractions off the field which we are all familiar with. I’ll take the points and say the Eagles win the game outright.

Game 4 San Diego at Pittsburgh- Both teams have health concerns ( which team this time of year does not?). San Diego looks like they will not have LT and also wide receiver Vincent Jackson is facing the distraction of a drunk driving charge which allegedly occurred on Tuesday. I am looking for a low scoring game and Pittsburgh to cover the 6 point spread.

Let the games begin. Tune in Sunday at 9pm for all the post games analyses
