Weekend Number Two Of The NFL Playoffs

Last week went 3-1 on picks missing the Oakland/Houston game.  All four Of the home teams were winners and for those of you looking for white knuckle finishes there were none to be found last week so any NFL fan expecting better this week, what makes you think so?

The Texans won by 13 over Oakland and Pittsburgh won by 18 over Miami so there was no Clemson finish in either of those two. Over on the NFC games the differences were even worse as Green Bay won by 25 and Seattle by 20  and did not  give up a touchdown.

Those who had byes last week scouted by tv join the scuffle this week.  Houston visits England.  The glamour game of the weekend is the Packers at the Cowboys. Roll Over to Sunday and Pittsburgh heads to the plains and Kansas City.  The final game of the weekend just might have the chance to be the best.

Houston @ New England:  This game has the best chance of the four this weekend to be another double digit blowout.  Houston defense has a chance to just maybe give a challenge to Tom Brady and the Pats offense.  I just can't see that the quarterback situation in Houston is stable enough to make this a game.  New England 30 Houston 14

The Green Bay Packers @ the Dallas Cowboys:  The  intriguing game of the weekend.  The red hot offense of the Packers taking on Cowboy pass rush.  Can the Packers defense slow down the Boys enough to give Rogers a chance? My guess the loser may score 30.
Cowboys advance 34 Packers 30.

Pittsburgh @ Kansas City:  Big question in this game is will be is Big Ben playing?  If he does how effective will he be?  This game will be a defensive struggle.  The weather will play a  huge part in this game. I have liked the Chiefs all year.  I see no reason why the home team will not win this one too.  Chiefs 23 Pittsburgh 17

Seattle @ Atlanta:  Is there a more doctor Jeckel and Mr Hyde than the Seattle Seahawks.  Almost unbeatable on the northwest Pacific coast but inside a big barn in the deep south?  That  Seahawks teams flies east?.  Remember the last time Atlanta hosted a playoff game they Laid an Easter Egg.  Hawks can't handle the east coast.  Falcons 27 Seattle 20.

Last night was a double header night at North Carolina Wesleyan.  The men took to the court first and the Battling Bishops led by as many as 13 points early in the second half  led by Plymouth's Adrian Moore who poured in 41 points grabbed 13 rebounds, 5 steals and 7 assists but it was not enough as the Bishops gave up 65 second half points and lose their conference opener 104-98 to William Peace.

The nightcap former Northern Central player Timyra Station had the greatest night of her life pulling down 13 rebounds and ripping the cords for 29 points in leading the Lady Bishops to a 69-54 conference victory over Methodist.
