Divisional Playoff Preview

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers:  Big Ben is going to do what he always does - just enough to win.  Troy Polamalu should probably get some looks at not only the defensive player of the year, but MVP as well.  His face-off with Ray Lewis should show us all who the most dominant defender is.  Steelers by 7.
Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons:  The storybook season for Atlanta will continue for at least one more chapter, while Aaron Rogers will have to wait for another day to truly step out from behind Brett's shadow.  Falcons by 7.
Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears:  There will be no miracles in Chicago.  The Bears will dominate throughout, leaving you asking how this team managed to beat the Saints last week anyway.  Bears by 10.
New York Jets at New England Patriots:  This one's getting a lot of hype in the press.  Rex Ryan keeps shooting his mouth off, and I doubt that getting slaughtered will prevent that from happening again.  Tom Brady is awesome!  He isn't surrounded with the same weapons that he used to have, but Bill Belichick is a genius.  Patriots by 10.
Last week, the Seahawks were the only team to win at home.  Expect that trend to come to a screeching halt this weekend, as the home teams go 4-0.  Now, check out these picks, bet the opposite, and roll around in great big piles of cash (just don't put too much thought into where some of that money has been).

Stay tuned.
