Baltimore +7 over NEW ENGLAND Pinnacle
It’s difficult to penalize the Patriots for dismantling the Broncos the way they did in New England’s 45-10 playoff win last week. But c’mon now. That hardly seemed like a playoff game as Denver and Tim Tebow were nothing more than a charade. To the Patriots’ credit, they did what needed to be done and they took no prisoners. It’s not unusual for Tom Brady and the Pats’ offence to light up scoreboards against any oncomers as New England has tallied 30 or more in nine of its past 10 games.

Many critics believe that the Pats need to score often in order to mask New England’s 32nd ranked defence. While defensive stats and rankings can be skewed for teams with high-powered offences (the defence is on the field a lot because the offences are quick strikers), the detractors may be right. The Dolphins, Chargers, Bills and Eagles, all non-playoff teams, threw for nearly 1600 yards combined against this Patriots secondary with each exceeding 370 yards. Even the Raiders and Colts each passed for almost 350 yards in their games against the AFC’s top-seed.

Those numbers bode well for the Ravens and particularly quarterback Joe Flacco. The fourth-year quarterback takes a lot of flak (pun fully intended) but is steady enough to game manage while a solid running attack featuring Ray Rice and the persistent Ricky Williams keeps things flowing. Baltimore’s’ trademark defence does the rest, giving its offence opportunity to win. We have seen Flacco step up when he’s had to, including Week 9 this year when Flacco marched his team 92 yards in the final two minutes before connecting with Torrey Smith.on a 26-yard touchdown pass to earn a 23-20 win over the rival Steelers.

A look back on the 2011 season finds that the Patriots faced only three teams that would ultimately reach the playoffs. One of those teams was the improbable Broncos. The other two qualifiers were the Steelers and the Giants. New England was defeated by the latter pair, scoring just 17 against Pittsburgh and 20 at home to the Giants. That was the same Pittsburgh team that the Ravens defeated twice this season. In fact, Baltimore ran the table with a 6-0 mark in its division that had three of its four teams making this year’s post-season. The Patriots were the only team from the weak AFC East that qualified for these playoffs. The Ravens have played seven games against playoff teams so far. They’re a perfect 7-0 with wins over the 49ers and the Texans, Steelers and Bengals twice each.

This will mark only the second time this season that Baltimore will be an underdog. The only other time they were spotted points, the Ravens won straight up. We have to go back to the 2007 season to find the last time we were getting a full touchdown head start with the Ravens. With a 3rd-ranked defence that gave up nearly 2,000 less yards than its host on the year, in a setting that will not be intimidating to them, and with a fine pedigree of its own, there is more than enough room to keep this one within range. Play: Baltimore +7 (Risking 2.14 units to win 2).

N.Y. GIANTS +119 over San Francisco Pinnacle
Good for the Niners. They rewarded their faithful fans with a win in their first playoff appearance in nine years after upsetting the high-flying Saints. It’s been an outstanding season for this surprising 49ers club and the future certainly seems bright. However, we’re not sure if they’re ready for this assignment and the responsibility attached to it.

The Giants are hot. Smokin’ hot. So hot in fact, that it makes you wonder how they could have been a .500 club just a month ago. From where we sit, they are the most complete team of the dozen that qualified for this post-season. New York’s defence has been lights out. In their last four games, all of which were sudden-death, the G-men defeated the Jets, Cowboys, Falcons and mighty Packers by a combined 121-50. Of course, the latter two were playoff games where the Giants basically shut out the Falcons while making Green Bay appear like the Browns or Jaguars. It is no coincidence that when the Giants’ front four became healthy, the team got noticeably better. They are a nasty quartet that can wreak havoc on almost any opposition and quarterback. If Aaron Rodgers and the Packers didn’t faze them, we’re guessing that Alex Smith won’t either.

One drive does not a quarterback make. Yes, Alex Smith led his team on an impressive game-winning drive last week but let’s not get carried away. He’s Alex Smith. He’s been in this league since 2005. He’s had starting jobs, been a backup and then found his way back to the starter’s role simply by attrition. Granted, he’s been decent this year. Maybe serviceable is a better word. While Smith only threw five interceptions on the season, he did not have a 300-yard passing day. The Niners ranked 29th in yards passing per game, averaging 183 per and finishing only ahead of the aerial inept Rams, Broncos and Jaguars. San Fran’s red zone play left much to be desired also. In 54 trips to the red zone, Smith and the Niners managed just 22 touchdowns, which had them 30th in the league.

Conversely, Eli Manning has never looked better. His offensive line gives him plenty of time to pass and he’s taken full advantage. No more Plaxico Burress, Steve Smith or Kevin Boss. No problem. Meet Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz. New York receivers caught an impressive 4,933 yards of Manning’s passes, which is complimented by the solid running tandem of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. Much is made of the 49ers stellar defence. While it is certainly a capable unit, we can’t ignore San Fran’s soft schedule, its wussy division or the yardage relinquished against decent passing teams.

Last week, the Saints had five turnovers. In most cases, that would that would lead to a blowout win but the Niners needed a touchdown with nine seconds remaining to secure that victory. Against a team that relishes this role with seven straight road playoff covers, a team with stronger offensive weapons and most importantly, is clicking on all cylinders, it is doubtful that the same good fortune awaits this host. Play: N.Y. Giants +119 (Risking 2 units).

Free play from predictem

Reed is expected to play and the Ravens will need a great effort from him along with the rest of the Baltimore secondary to slow down the Patriots passing attack. Up front, Lewis and LB Terrell Suggs will be responsible for getting adequate pressure on Tom Brady. Brady seemingly becomes even more unstoppable the longer he has to throw the football so the Ravens must get pressure on him quickly to disrupt the Patriots offense.
Even if the Ravens defense stands up to the challenge against the talented Patriots passing attack, the Baltimore offense will need to play much better than they did last week against Houston. Baltimore managed just 227 total yards last week in the win against Houston and the majority of their points were the result of Houston turnovers. That type of performance will not get the job done this week against a Patriots offense that will put up their fair share of points no matter how well Baltimore's defense plays.
Baltimore does not have a flashy offense but they have run the ball extremely well behind running back Ray Rice and then built the passing game around that ground success. Rice has rushed for over 1,300 yards on the ground this season and added an additional 700 plus yards in the passing game. Rice is normally the guy that sets the tone for the offense and it will be interesting to see if the Patriots rush defense can keep him bottled up this weekend. For Baltimore it will be critical they have success on the ground and establish long drives to keep the New England offense off the field. If the Ravens are not able to establish their superb rushing attack, they will have to turn to QB Joe Flacco to lead the offense down the field.
Flacco has just not played well in recent weeks and completed just of 14 of 27 passes for 176 yards last week. Flacco did toss two touchdown passes in the win but the majority of the afternoon was spent seeing missed opportunities in the passing game. So far this season the Patriots pass defense has been horrible allowing an NFL 2nd worse 294 yards per game through the air. Therefore, the opportunity should be available for Flacco to get the ball into the hands of star WR Anquan Boldin and the rest of the Ravens receivers which will be needed to put some points on the scoreboard.
Jay's Pick to Cover the Point Spread: The Ravens are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and I do not believe they will have an answer to Brady and company this weekend. Houston QB T.J Yates missed many open opportunities last week against the Ravens defense that Brady will not miss this week. I think there is a big speed mismatch with the Baltimore linebackers and the Patriots receivers which will be a big difference. Additionally, I just do not think Baltimore has enough offense to score the points it will take to win the game or cover the spread. Take New England -8.

Game: Baltimore at New England (Sunday 1/22 3:00 PM Eastern)
Breaking News: The New England Patriots can score. The Pats have scored 30 or more points in 20 of their last 25 games. The Patriots defense has been their Achilles heel all season, giving up over 21 points per game and ranked second to last in the league in yards allowed. The Ravens strength is of course their defense. They have held opponents to 289 yards and 16.6 points per game. So can Baltimore stop this Patriots offense? Consider that the Ravens great defensive numbers are bolstered by an incredibly weak schedule. They have in fact played the softest offensive schedule in the NFL this season. They have faced the dead-last offense of the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 32, the No. 31 ranked offense in St. Louis, the No. 30 ranked offense in Indianapolis, the No. 29 ranked offense of the Cleveland Browns twice, the No. 28th ranked offense in Seattle, No. 26 San Francisco and finally the No. 25 New York Jets. That is eight games vs. the eight worst offenses in the league. The best they saw this season was San Diego who punched them for 415 yards and 34 points. New England played a very soft schedule too, as the only team they faced all season that won 10 games was Pittsburgh. And, they lost that game. The Ravens are 7-0 straight-up vs. playoff teams this year while New England still hasn't beaten a winning team this year. But, Brady is on a mission right now and in a quarterback-driven league, the Pats have a huge advantage at this position. My computer matchup for this game (NOT an official pick) has New England winning but not covering a 7-point spread. The public likes the Pats in this one. What will happen?

Game: New York Giants at San Francisco (Sunday 1/22 6:30 PM Eastern)
Last week I called the upset win by the Giants in part because I really felt the Packers were overrated. But, the Giants are also deserving of credit. This team was left for dead by many after losing to the Washington Redskins in week 15 by a score of 23-10. It was their fifth loss in six weeks as part of a big second-half meltdown. They haven't lost since, stirring up memories of the 2007-2008 magic season in which they won the Super Bowl. The Giants are winning because they have resolved defensive issues and are playing balanced offense. Their defense allowed 188 points from week 10-15 (31 per game). But since then they have allowed just 73 points in their last five (14.6 points per game). Hakeem Nicks has been unstoppable, grabbing 13 balls for 280 yards and four TDs in the two playoff games. But let's not forget about San Francisco, a team under the radar all season. They are 14-3 and have held opponents to just 15.4 points per game on the year. The 49ers are making people remember the old adage, "defense wins championships." Last week they handled the team that seemed the hottest going into the playoffs, beating Drew Brees and the high-powered Saints. Jim Harbaugh has this team believing and playing very good, solid fundamental football. My computer matchup for this game (NOT an official pick) has San Francisco winning a close one. The public thinks New York is likely to win the game.
