Hrm... No matter how leaky NE is, Denver can't put up 30 points. I'll commend Tebow on beating PIT, but let's face it: We all knew how bad Ike Taylor and William Gay were, and this just proves it. Without both safeties, the D isn't good behind a banged-up line. I'm kinda glad PIT lost. This way, more rest, more scouting time, and maybe we can bring in Tyrann Mattieu from LSU.
On BAL, that goes both ways. Flacco can win games...and lose a hell of a lot more games. Proof? Jax. Loss. Seattle. Loss. T.J. Yates and Arian Foster have JUST enough magic to put up 17 points. With Flacco being as schizophrenic as he is, that's all the Texans need. That said, with this being Houston's 1st playoffs appearance, if they beat Baltimore, then this means that this is the Texans' year, and they SHOULD advance to the Super Bowl. Especially with the Pats garbage D. I see Texans/Baltimore against SF or NO. SF has an epic pass rush, and as we saw with the Chiefs game, GB can't score without a slew of turnovers. Alex Smith will protect the ball, use his legs, and squeak GB. If NO plays GB, then whoever hits 40 first wins. On that note: That game will likely remind some of Cards-GB back in 2010. Lots of offense, and a game-ending defensive play in OT.
