Jeremy's picks for the week

It's the playoffs baby! This weekend we have some wonderful matchups...and here are my picks for those games.

Colts at Baltimore - This one is difficult. You have a great defense in Baltimore vs a great offense in Indy. Indy proved last week that they can do pretty well against a pounding back like Larry Johnson...but how will they fair on the road against another pounding back in Jamal Lewis. Hmmm... I think the game hinges on the play of the Colts' rookie sensation Joseph Addai...if he plays well they win. I think he'll play well and Indy will get the win.

Eagles at New Orleans - The beloved Saints with their high powered offense will completely roll all over Phily's "prone to give up big gains" defense. I don't think this one will be close...I pick the Saints over the Eagles.

Seahawks at Chicago - Which Rex Grossman will show up Sunday? Last game they played at home Rexy boy threw a ton of interceptions and got booed by the home crowd. However, their special teams and defense will eat up Seattle who has looked awful this season and barely beat a very poor Dallas team. I pick Chicago in a shutout 9-0.

Patriots at San Diego - Tom Brady makes awful mistakes when he is pressured. Luckily they have a tremendous offensive line. However, steroids induced Merriman will come on a lot of blitzes and the high powered offense lead by MVP LT will hit the ground running. Look for a hard hitting and emotionally charged game which will be close to the end. I pick the Chargers to win at home.
