The way Dallas has been rolling, I don't know if you can use the word upset for any win they get. It seems like they may be able to play even better, which is scary. These are looking like interesting games for the week. If there is one blowout in the bunch this time it would be kind of a surprise to me.
Cards/Saints is a tough pick. The Saints finish seems like a sign of potential problems. How will they come out playing now? They are still capable of lighting it up. The Cards are fun to watch when they are on, but Green Bay rolled all over that defense until the lucky play. I would love to see Arizona win here, but it always sort of feels like something is missing with the team overall. I think last year was as close to winning it all as they get for quite awhile. I will put my pick on the Saints. Whichever team wins will lose in the next round anyway IMO.
Dallas beats Minny if they don't come out flat. Favre retirement tour starts again. That Dallas D, entire team really, has no fear of anyone right now.
I think the Colts find a way despite Baltimore being a tough, physical team. Lack of being able to have much confidence in passing the ball will end it for Baltimore unless they can just run over Indy for tons of yards. Manning will be able to control this one even if it isn't real pretty.
I want to pick the Jets, and they could win. Revis will tie up one of SD's big receivers, but they are pretty deep in that regard. If NY comes out and hits the right blitzes, pressures Rivers and has some luck they honestly could win. It is the best D in football. What will Sanchez be able to do, will they simply try to run for 300 yards? It's a lot like the Indy game. I see Rivers being able to take charge just enough to win it. The Jets are going to be an awesome team soon though.
