167 - 93 overall, 2 - 2 for the playoffs so far

Vikings @ 49ers

Texans @ Chiefs
Seahawks @ Packers

Hard to see past 4 home wins here but after last weekend you can't rule anything out. I think it's looked like a 49ers - Ravens Superbowl from a long way out and it's still hard to see anyone on that board up there changing that. Seahawks maybe the best bet to pick up a road win but still think they'll lose to SF in an NFC Championship game.

rebelyell99

I see Clete blakeman is reffing the packers seahawks game ,makes Seattles task that bit tougher.

2 - 2 in the wildcard brings me to 166 - 95 overall

Vikings @ 49ers
Titans @ Ravens
Texans @ Chiefs
Seahawks @ Packers

All home wins looks most likely but I'm hopeful Seattle can go to Green Bay and win if they get some of their OL back from injury ( Brown, Iupati ) and haven't sustained any new ones ( Ansah is probaby out but not confirmed ).

The reverse Moses malone for me last weekend as I went 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs.

Going to be boring and go for four home wins.

Inquitus

Seattle Seahawks

4 home wins this week, went the same 2-2 last week that most people did.

StringerBell

Green Bay Packers

To be different in gonna go with the 3 home wins but take the Seahawks to get it done in green bay.

I'd like a rematch of the 9ers and Seahawks in the conference game.

Xavi6

Green Bay Packers

Three home wins and the Seahawks for me.

It'd be nice to see the Chiefs and Titans win so that Arrowhead hosts the AFC Championship but then Derrick Henry would probably just run all over KC again.

I'm disappointed with the scheduling change this year. Last year the late Sunday game kicked off at 9:40pm, this year it is 2 hours later.

Seattle Seahawks

Wisconsin is GMT -6hrs, I think.

Who's home field was the late game played in last year?

rebelyell99

The saints were at home to the eagles late game last year I'm sure.

Seattle Seahawks

They're in the same timezone AFAIK, so that's my theory out the window.

Yeah, two late games for the Titans is killing my sleep :pac:

The Titans can win, i dont think they will though. the D is banged up and while we have some players that can get to Jackson i think he'll gash us enough that Henry and the PA from Tanny wont be enough.

close loss i predict.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Green Bay Packers

Predicting 2 easy wins in AFC and 2 close games in nfc. Taking Baltimore, kansas, 9ers and Seahawks.

Your theory is correct.
They want to avoid timings like last years for the divisional round.

Embarrassing 0-4 last week so apologies for all teams I jinx this weekend. I'm not going to be too reactionary based on last week, as I think a lot of logic on why I went against each team held but the opposition didn't turn up.

Vikings @ 49ers

Bye week was very needed by 49ers and should have a number of guys fit for later today. With Kyle having time to scheme things up their offense will do what the Saints failed and score enough points to make the Vikings have to force things. 49ers DL will be delighted to have a more stationary QB and will put pressure on Cousins.

Titans @ Ravens

Similarly, the Ravens offense will put up the points that the Patriots failed to and limit the impact of Henry. Their big and rested DL will also limit his impact and Tannehill will struggle.

Texans @ Chiefs

Andy Reid with a bye week will definitively out coach O'Brien. Not even more Watson magic will be enough to get over it this week on the road.

Seahawks @ Packers

My pick of the Eagles last week was more out of hope of getting rid of the Seahawks than anything. Wilson is just unbelievable and will drag the Toots past a Packers team that hasn't really looked convincing all year.

I think I have to agree with all of that.

I've been toing and froing about one road win. But keep angling towards the Vikes for some reason. Just feel it in my waters.

Sure I voted for them above!

I think when I do eventually settle on my picks I'll probably plump for what you've gone for here.

But it'll be a last minute thing. My 0-4 plumping for the Eagles last minute was a shambles last week.

eagle eye

The bye week is huge and should not be underestimated.
49ers had the chance to get healthy and get players back from injury too.
The Ravens starters will be foaming at the mouth for playoff football as most of them had week 17 off as well.
49ers have improved their passing game since they signed Emmanuel Saunders. Their defense has struggled due to injuries over the last few weeks but they should be better now.
Vikings had a very tough game last Sunday and this is even more difficult. I don't see any way they can score enough to stay with the 49ers.
I think it'll be even worse for the Titans offense against a massively improved Ravens defense. If they get behind and have to pass the ball a lot they are in big trouble because their offensive line is very poor at pass protection. On the other side of the ball it seems almost impossible to stop the Ravens. A premium running and then receivers that can stretch the field leaving space for two formidable tight ends underneath.
I think we'll see two big wins for home teams tonight.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman

Seattle Seahawks

Vikings @ 49ers -

Fancy the Vikings with the momentum of a road win against a good side. Key things for the Vikings will obviously be to curb Kittle's influence, make the 49ers throw it to someone else. And use Cook to eat the clock.

Titans @ Ravens

Ravens have a ridiculous weapon in Lamar but the Titans will keep it close by feeding Henry quickly and often. If the Titans can keep it close enough going to the 4th anything is possible but I think the Ravens at home will just squeak through.

Houston vs Kansas

weather in kansas is shocking. Snow is going to be coming down as well. This is about who makes the least amount of mistakes.I am just going with Kansas because of Reid and Mahommes. Think it will be very tight.

Seahawks v Greenbay

Not convinced by Greenbay at all , which sounds ridiculous for a team that went 13-3 but same as the 49ers I think both won alot of 1 score games they should have lost. I think Lynch will have a day here and Wilson's ability to make big plays will just about get the seahawks through.

All home wins. I’m a bit surprised so many are going for Seattle. I think the packers should win with a bit to spare. Go pack go

Just voted for my picks there.. Hope I got in before 'The Screenshot of Shame'.

jack presley

Impressive drive to start

phatkev

Zimmer dared them to throw it on that drive and Garoppolo made it look easy!

eagle eye

Excellent drive, Jimmy G was great there.

jack presley

Great response

phatkev

Rough drive for whoever #23 is on the 49ers

Some start.

rebelyell99

vikes should have an int by now,garoppolo leaving a few up for grabs

phatkev

Thats two extremely pickable balls by Garoppolo on this drive. Lucky to still have the ball even if it is a 3&24

ScrubsfanChris

Green Bay Packers

Nice scenic shots of San Fran between plays. Funny considering we're 50km from downtown :pac:

They do the same at Redskins games, miles away from DC

So desperate to get the ads in, we get only one crap replay of the turnover (which looks close)

Having said that Santa Clara, I have had a few great days over the years at the theme park which is next door to the stadium.

Theres the interception,, great play by kendricks

jack presley

Awful throw there.

thomond2006

That's awful from Bosa. Cheap 15 yards.

thomond2006

The run blocking by SF is dominant. The running backs have so much space and time.

Yeah, true.

8 rushes, 0 passes on that TD drive. Dominant by SF.
