AFC Championship

Jets @ Colts

All the sports media is basing this game on the Colts/Jets meeting in week 16, in which, the Jets won 29-15. The Jets won against a Colt team that treated this game like a scrimmage and out their starters in the third quarter. So, you can throw out the Colts performance here.

The Jets will blitz Manning and good luck with that. Peyton Manning posted a 101.4 passer rating when teams sent five or more pass-rushers during the regular season. He simply gets rid of the ball too fast.

NY Jet CB Derrelle Revis held Colts WR Reggie Wayne to just 3 catches for 33 yards. Wayne played very little and went through the motions. This time Revis Island will be deserted as Reggie Wayne and Co. come up big.

The Colts will concentrate on the Jet run game and make QB Mark Sanchez beat them. Sanchez will fail and have to wait a few more seasons.

Pick: Colts 38 Jets 14

The Battle for New Orleans
Vikings @ Saints

Brett Favre a man of a certain age continues to surprise the NFL. Last week he threw 4 TD's in the Vikes defeat of the Dallas Cowgirls. Brett Favre celebrtaed by singing "Pants on the Ground" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wZb9znkboc though say he old enough that he it should Depends on the Ground. The Vikings D font led by Ray Edwards http://www.nfl.com/players/rayedwards/profile?id=EDW639849 and bookend Jarred Allen AKA The Rhinestone Cowboy http://www.nfl.com/players/jaredallen/profile?id=ALL454745 The Vikings will need the same type of game if they hope to defeat the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints are having a maricle season of their own by going 13-3. QB Brees having a pro bowl season http://www.nfl.com/players/drewbrees/careerstats?id=BRE229498 . The Saints took advantage of pourous Arizona Cardinals defense and RB Reggie Bush finally had a day that Saints have waited for four years! Returning a punt 83 yards for a TD and a 46 yard TD jaunt. The Saints will need another big game by Bush and Brees to win this game.

This shouls be a good game that will come down to who has the ball last.

Pick: Sants 31-30
