New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers
The record setting Saints offense has been performing at such a break neck pace leaving me to wonder if it will ever be stopped. The answer to that is not exactly. What will happen though is the elements and some old fashioned keep-a-way. Niners 24 Saints 21.

Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
The moon the stars and the planets will have to be aligned in exact sequence for the Mile High Messiah to pull off this one. The Patriots are haunted by the ghost of recent playoff failures and will be determined to abolish them. I do not think the Broncos will be able to stop the Patriots from scoring unless GOD himself throws on the orange and blue. Patriots 38 Broncos 17.

Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens
Every year there seems to be a team that seems to defy the odds. This year that team looks like it will be the Houston Texans. The Texans are using an old fashioned playoff remedy for success; running the ball effectively and playing great overall defense. I do not really believe in QB T.J. Yates per se, but I have even less faith in Joe Flacco. Texans 17 Ravens 13.

New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
The Giants are riding the wave of some great play over the last month and the experience of being in this position before and they seem to have ALL of the momentum. Unfortunately they will still need a little extra if they are going to pull off the stunner. Green Bay is rested, healthier and primed to defend what they earned a season ago. Packers 31 Giants 20.
