Baltimore Ravens 16, Tennessee Titans 19 – the Titans are 3-point favorites with the total set at 34.5. The Titans won by three points on the road against the Ravens back on October 5th and the odds makers have Tennessee winning by a field goal again. While Tennessee is the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, it comes in having lost two of its last three games, but can likely rest a little easier knowing that the Colts, which handed the Titans a 23-0 Week 17 defeat, are already out of the picture. The Ravens defense was great in the Wild Card round and I expect it to be solid again. Pulling off the upset will likely depend on how good rookie QB Joe Flacco is in the game.
Arizona Cardinals 19, Carolina Panthers 29 – the Panthers are 10-point favorites with the total set at 48.5. Despite a big Wild Card win over a hot Falcons team, the Cardinals find themselves double digit dogs on the road where they are just 3-5 this season. Carolina is a perfect 8-0 at home, but it did allow the Cards to play them to a 4-point game back on October 26th. Odds makers are confident that the Cards will be done in the divisional round.

Philadelphia Eagles 18, New York Giants 22 – the Giants are 4-point favorites with the total set at 40. This is the most intriguing matchup of the weekend to me with the defending Super Bowl champs taking the field for the first time in the 2009 postseason against a team that just beat them in New York 20-14 on December 7th. Odds makers have the G-Men getting their revenge but they are anticipating another close game. It would appear that the winner of this one has a great shot at making it to the Super Bowl.
San Diego Chargers 16, Pittsburgh Steelers 22 – the Steelers are 6-point favorites with the total set at 38. The San Diego Chargers have done the unthinkable. They were down three games in the AFC West with three to go and ended up winner their division. They went on to knock off the red hot Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. But now they must venture out on the road where they are just 3-5 this season and odds makers have them coming up short. Pittsburgh won the regular season meeting 11-10 at home to beat the Chargers for the fifth time in its last six games at home.

Got something to say?
Eagles gonna beat there behinds.
They certainly do have momentum on their side. They’ll have to navigate the road just as the Giants did last year.
The Chargers hopefully, will make it to the superbowl, and I hope they win the superbowl, hopefully as 1 ESPN sportscaster put it, don’t lose the glass slipper, and the cinderella story continues for the chargers, since I would like to see an 8-8 team make it to the superbowl and win
I’m with ya, 8-8 to the Big One would be great, but if “defense wins championships” as they always say, not sure the Bolts can get it done.
