Conference Weekend (Playoff record: 10 - 7 - 1)

Question

Playoff record: 10 - 7 - 1POD record: 7 - 3 - 1Plays:Assuming everybody will be on the Green Bay - Pitt bandwagon, one of these teams will not make it to the Big Game, so I will go with ...BIG BEN -3 POD#1 ... Sanchez picked apart the #25 ranked D (yards permitted), but Steelers D is another history, now in the regular season game JETS won, but guess what ??? Troy Polamalu didnt play the game ...NYJ/PITT Under 38 ... when the Jets lose they cant score points, I see a total domination by Steelers D, a 24 - 10 , 24 - 13 type of game ....JAY CUTLER &#x2B;3 POD#2 and ML &#x2B;160 ... well no respect at all for da Bears, and in the NFC home advantage does matters ... The Pack is on fire right now, is hard for me to go against Green Bay, but there is something about home dogs, I think Chicago will play the no respect card and will be really motivated ... I hope I can get a better line later in the week ...GB/CHI Over 43 POD#3... great defense by both teams, but but offenses have big play potential, I see a 24 - 27 ... 24 - 21 type of game here ...as always GL everybody !!!!

I smell upset this week!! so hard to decide which one!!

alecboyh · Answer

I think Chicago will benefit of that Week 17 finale game at Green Bay, Mike Martz and Mike Tice will design a better offensive game plan to counterattack Pack blitz schemes, and I think we will see a great game by Bears D-Line, those guys will be fired up, I expect big game from Peppers and Tommie Harris ... only think that scares me is JAY CUTLER, but he seems to have settled down and learnt to be patient ...In the Pittsburgh game, I think that Pitt #1 ranked D will dominate the game from start to finish, I mean, Jets scored 17 pts against a improved Colt D, and they demolished the #25 ranked D ... Now NYJ brings a great defense, but Big Ben improvisation (which nobody can cap) will be the big key to the game, I think Ben will make big plays out of broken plays, tell Rex Ryan how can he scheme against improvisation, well he cant I guess ... In the end, for New York to upset the Steelers, Sanchez will have to repeat last weekend performance, and I am betting he will not repeat that against #1 ranked D ...In the end, I am playing the REVENGE factor on both games, remember that NYJ and GB won last regular season games against their rivals ...

HungerforMoney · Answer

Cutler still shows me doubt against a shitty seahawks team. dumb mistakes even though his performance was not bad at all. I like GB but to many people are on them and there is no respect for bears which wrrys me

Ur pics are solid just dont know bout this week hard to cap!
this week wrrys me the most out of all the playoff games this season!

alecboyh · Answer

Thanks man, at first I was going to pick Green Bay and Pitt, but I think one of these will fall, so there is something about home dogs in the playoffs, we saw it in the Seahawks - Saints game ... Now I just feel pretty good about Pittsburgh, why??? well because Pitt brings the #1 defense in the NFL; dont get me wrong NYJ are very capable of upset the Steelers, but I dont see it this time, Sanchez struggled against Colts defense, and then destroyed the #25 ranked defense (Pats), in the end the NE Defense was who we thought they were ... I saw yesterday the games between Chi-GB and they are pretty even, I just think that the key to the game is if Cutler will disguise GB Blitz scheme this time, and thats a big if, but now this will be the 3rd match between GB and CHI, and there is a good chance Cutler can make those adjusments, and with Mike "Mad" Martz, Mike Tice (both former coaches) there is a good chance they can bring a good offensive plan to counterattack Pack blitzing in the 3rd game ... In the other end, the key for Da Bears, will be the pressure the D Line can make, Peppers, Tommie Harris and company will have to bring the heat to Aaron Rodgers if the Bears have any chance to win this game, and with Rod Marinelli (former HC, coached Buccanners excelent DLine)  there is a good chance it will happen ...

Good luck Alecboyh, hope you come up with the winners this weekend again!

One Observation: Almost all quarterbacks play less well after they&#x27;ve been hit hard several times in the pocket -- the main exception is Ben Roethlisberger, whom the Jets face next, who doesn&#x27;t even seem to be aware he&#x27;s being hit, much less care. Brady is a pretty-boy both on and off the field, and the sacks took a toll on him. Most were coverage sacks -- there was no one open -- but sacks all the same.

Gochu4u · Answer

another thing that worries me is which teams does the NFL wants to be in the SB and which teams will have the people love to watch to play in the SB.. i&#x27;m not gonna say that nfl is fixed, blah blah blah.. with wat i&#x27;ve just posted earlier, since da bears already beaten the packers earlier in the season, packers should play pitts, since jets already beaten pitts earlier in the season.. hmmm.. pits/packers in the SB??  black/yellow vs. green/yellow??  lol... anyways, i&#x27;m gonna stick to my original picks with jets/packers in the SB... it&#x27;ll be interesting to see 2 former pac-10 college QBs playing in the SB... 2 cali boys in the SB.. that shiet will be so friggin&#x27; sweet.. lol..

[/Quote]Thanks man for the kind words, I just trying to do my best when capping games, all the angles have valid points, in the end you have to choose which ones youll side with ... now I have been a big Cutler fader this season and trust me I have been burned by him a lot of games this season, Cutler to me is the X factor (if you could called him that way) to the game because you never know which Cutler will show up, now the game that kind of give me trust in Cutler was the Week 16 game against NYJ at Soldier Field, which da Bears won 38 - 34, I mean Cutler threw 3 TD&#x27;s against NYJ vaulted D, so Cutler is very capable of have a big game against the Pack D and at home where he usually plays well ... In the end, I could be burned by Cutler again (this time by supporting him), but I think Bears are not that far behind from Packers like some people think and add that to the revenge factor, home field advantage factor, no respect card (extra motivation for Chicago) and I think Bears have a good chance to upset red hot flavor of the playoffs (and rightfully so) Green Bay Packers ...

GB/CHI Over 43 POD#3... great defense by both teams, but but offenses have big play potential, I see a 24 - 27 ... 24 - 21 type of game here &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;fav play of all     glty

bj22 · Answer

my thoughts via post.....&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;this 43 on the total is interesting, both times they played this year they went under pretty easily, with last game only scoring 13. now with the same number as last game being reintroduced 43- thought theyd stick it round  38 0r 39  I believe the condition should be the same or maybe even worse for this one. I have to believe  that special teams   and defenses are going to set up some short fields. Reminding me of the pitt balt game last week. I could be wrong but thats my read on this with all factors

byharleyjames · Answer

In week 6 against the Pack the Bears offensive line was in the beginning process of meshing to the point of where they are today...credit Mike Tice for bringing them together as a unit. I believe this will be a factor in how they handle the pass rush this weekend and allow Cutler the time needed for short slants to Knox as he will get chunks of YAC.

Like the plays Alech

MossPaysCash · Answer

On Both as Well... Don&#x27;t trust Sanchez in this spot at allI&#x27;m on -7 1/2 and -10 1/2 as well.  Such an upgrade in defense compared to Indy and NEI think you have to take a divisional rivalry who is getting 3 1/2 pts at home.  To much love for the Pack here
