As a sports radio junkie this whole week is going to be awesome lead up. Tebow vs Brady. McDaniels vs Broncos. Not to mention New England and Denver always have intense games. I'm just glad this game isn't in Migh High. The patriots should win handily. They just need to get that crap of a two game one and out losing streak out of their heads and play patriot football.

Giants vs Green Bay is the second game I look forward to. I think the Giants put up a valiant effort, but lose after a 4th Rodgers TD with time expiring.

49ers and Saints should be fun. Can the niners D stop Brees, or at least slow him down. They'll slow him down, but Saints will still win by 3 touchdowns.

Ravens and Houston. Meh. Ravens win in a game full of rushing and 3 and outs.

I don't like Tebow and was rooting for the Steelers, but Tebow and the Broncos beating the Pats would be cool with me

I really doubt it happens though.

35-30, Giants over Packers. Bring it.

Niners in a close one.
Pats in a blowout.
Ravens in a blowout.
Packers in a blowout.

Saints win over San Fransisco in a really close game. Will win by only a FG or a TD at the end of the game.

New England will beat Denver 34-17 or around there.

*Upset Pick* - Houston beats Baltimore by a FG in OT.

Green Bay over the Giants. 38-20. Eli chokes against Rogers and the Packers. *BUT* I would not be shocked at all if the Giants beat Green Bay. Always have to like a team that is streaking at the right time, not that GB hasn't been, just wouldn't be a complete shock to the system.

NY lost to WAS by 13 at home 3 weeks ago.

Yah, but there is a lot more to it. They just got healthy at the right time. Like I said I expect them to lose, but I wouldn't be shocked if they won.

It's always interesting to see how teams come out of their byes, very unpredictable even if they've done it before.

The only game I feel strongly about is New Orleans over San Francisco. Even if the Niners defense holds Brees to 225 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs, unless they run both of those back I just don't see the Niners producing enough points. It's either going to be 20-13 Saints or 35-6 Saints.

Mags FTW · Post #12 » by **Mags FTW** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:24 am

SF will put up more than 13.

Saint win by 21 points? On the road? Against one of, if not the best, defenses in the league? Oh please. I would love to make a bet on that one, C_C.

You really think the Niners are only going to put up 6 points against the Saints, while losing by 29? I like you Iceness, but this is the stupidest thing you've ever said.

Well I dont know how theyve been recently but the 49ers have got to stop sucking in the red zone. Hope they win, like them a lot more than the Saints although I sure do love me some Brees

RIPskaterdude · Post #16 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 5:05 am

Yes, the Niners have been one of the worst teams in the league in the red zone, but people are acting like they finished as a 9-7 team. This was one of the best teams in the league. 13-3. One loss in OT. One loss after playing in San Fran and having to travel to Baltimore for a game on Thursday. One loss playing at Arizona. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, or that I feel like they are definitely going to win, but they won't lose by 3-4 touchdowns.

KGboss · Post #17 » by **KGboss** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 5:09 am

I want to see Brees vs. Rodgers, that's why I hope the Saints win. The 49ers are very good this year, and I am happy for their turn around success, I just think Saints vs. Packers is a better game just for the QB vs. QB shoot-out.

Mags FTW · Post #18 » by **Mags FTW** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 5:10 am

5 (TEN), Loss (TB), 3 (CAR), 13 (JAX), Loss (GB)

Saints margin of victory in all of their outdoor games.

They aint winnin by 21.

okay, I bet you 5 dollars that the saints win by at least two touchdowns.

I think it'll be close for most of it. It very well can be 21-13 when Brees puts up a TD with 5 minutes to go. Then the saints get the ball back and brees puts up another one on a team that's deflated.

Niners give up less than 11 points a game at home.
