January 10th NFL Wildcard playoff game predictions
My predictions were way off yesterday. So I have re-calibrated my crystal ball and are ready to do some football prognosticating again.
Baltimore at New England- Yet again another regular season rematch. The Patriots beat the Ravens on week four, 27-21.
The big news in the buildup to this game, was the year ending knee injury Wes Welker suffered during last Sunday’s season finale. The loss of the Conference’s most prolific wide receiver is certainly a blow to New England.
But it’s one I think they will overcome. Baltimore will double cover Patriots WR Randy Moss but Tom Brady will use his other targets to move the football down the field. My prediction- New England wins 27-17.
Green Bay at Arizona- These two teams met one week ago, with the Packers winning 41-16 in Arizona.
The Packers have also won 6 of the last 7 times these teams have met. This is essentially a show of two high performing quarterbacks, Green Bay’s Andre Rodgers(4,434 yards and 103.2 passing rating) versus Arizona QB Kurt Warner who has a lifetime 98.99 post season passing rating.
The basis for why I pick Arizona to win 38-34
1 Green Bay isn’t at home where they almost always have the advantage at playoff time
2 Arizona hasn’t lost two games in a row all
3 I chose Arizona to make it to the Super Bowl.
Let’s see if I get at least one prediction right this weekend.
