NFL Divisional Round Playoff Picks

Polamalu = Best player in the NFL (non-QB)

This is a college football website that primarily covers LSU Sports. This post has nothing to do with LSU.

I love the NFL. I'm going to give my picks for this weekends divisional playoff games in the NFL because I can.


Last week I picked all the Wild Card/road teams to win their playoff games. It turned out good for me, as I went 3-1 in those games.

Too bad the Saints were the team that lost. I almost picked the Seahawks, but I just couldn't do it.

This week I thought about picking all home teams. But as the week moved on, I started thinking "Maybe home field doesn't mean as much as it once did in the playoffs."

This morning on Mike and Mike, they showed a revealing stat that would surprise many NFL fans.

In the past five years, home teams in the divisional rounds went 10-10. In the 15 years prior, home teams were 49-15. 

With that in mind, here are my picks...

Ravens over Steelers 
Falcons over Packers
Bears over Seahawks
Patriots over Jets

I am actually going against the recent trend. I went with three home teams and the Ravens. I actually think the Steelers are the better team, but an unhealthy Troy Polamalu is never a good thing.

I could do a long and extensive breakdown of these games, but I want to live some form of a social life. 

Enjoy the weekend!!!

Joe Schad might have been right after all.

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said the Michigan job was never offered to Les Miles or San Francisco 49ers head coach and former Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh.  

Michigan hired San Diego State's Brady Hoke as their new head coach yesterday.

The problem for me is that this hard to believe. So did Brandon just feel like traveling to Baton Rouge because for the warmer weather?

Hopefully some of this will clear up by the end of today's press conference.
