Divisional Playoff Picks - Page 2

Packers
This one’s all about the old man and the football, quarterback Brett Favre, gunning for one more glorious run through the postseason. He was the second most prolific passer behind Tom Brady this season, and as he goes, so goes the Pack. Ryan Grant is a breakaway threat at running back, and averaged 5.1 yards a carry once Green Bay settled on him as a starter. Donald Driver led the team with 82 receptions, but Greg Jennings is the deep threat and the big scorer with 12 TDs and an average of 17.4 yards per catch. The offensive line did an extraordinary job protecting Favre this year, giving up just 19 sacks; against the sack-happy Seahawks, they’ll be tested to their limit. The defense is led by veteran corner Charles Woodson, outside linebacker A.J. Hawk and middle linebacker Nick Barnett. Strong safety Atari Bigby led the secondary with five interceptions.

. . .

Prediction
Favre is the big storyline. The sidebar is coach Mike Holmgren facing his old team, a team he took to its last Super Bowl win. Holmgren has done well in the regular season, but outside of a trip to the Super Bowl two years ago, his postseasons have not gone well in Seattle. He’s up against a better team here, one with a charismatic quarterback having one of his best-ever seasons. The game’s in Green Bay, in weather the Seahawks aren’t used to. They were great against the Redskins, but Favre isn’t going to go as meekly as Collins. The Packers should win this one, blowing it open in the second half. Packers 37, Seahawks 17.

lol.

"And we're going to score."

It wasn't too bad, though. Let him go to a Super Bowl and throw 5 picks the way Gannon did. Then Seahawk fans will know true chokage on a grand stage. I don't feel sorry for you.

I'm going to laugh if Jacksonville knocks off New England on Saturday. So much for the Pats' perfect season if they do.

Ain't that the truth! I really didn't NY and SD would win, but I knew they could.

This is a different poll. I actually forgot about this one that Cronincal started earlier in the week.

Here's our poll, btw - you need to change your avatar.
