To me this weekend of NFL football is the equivalent to Thanksgiving weekend in high school football. It is to me the weekend where teams can say this has been a good season for us win or lose. The Super Bowl is a lot of hype and most of the time dull games. Let's take a look at the four games this weekend.
Baltimore at Denver: Peyton Manning has never won a game in his life when the temperature was less than 40 degrees. Being a Philip Rivers fan I have been under the opinion for about eight weeks that Denver was the best team in football and I still have that feel. Baltimore is average on the road.
One of the reasons Manning has never won under 40 degrees he has up to this year always played inside and when he did play outside it was on the road. He is home this year and I will go with the horses in this one 31-20
Green Bay at San Fransisco: There is no doubt in my mind that the best quarterback in the NFL is Aaron Rogers. You never quite know which 49er team will show up. If the one with the best defense shows up this could really be the best game of the weekend. If this is a shoot out I'll take Green Bay or if the winner gets under 20 points I'll take Frisco. I don't see this be low scoring and because of that I don't think the gold miners can win. Packers 38 San Fran 28.
Seattle at Atlanta: Now lets look at last week. Washington is wearing out Seattle until R G 3 gets hurt and the coach pulls the dumbest coaching job of the year in the NFL. If the Skins coach had any sense Washington would be playing ton instead of Seattle. Just because of that I'm taking Seattle over Atlanta. The Falcons are home and have lost three straight years in their first game each season in the playoffs. That is not necessarily a quarterback thing but a team thing.
Seattle is solid on defense and they have a rookie quarterback that limits his mistakes. Weather should not be an issue since this is inside. Seattle 24 Atlanta 21
Houston and New England: All that needs to be said is Houston was crushed the last time these two played. New England 35 Houston 17.
