Saturday Games
Kansas City (-1.5) @ Indianapolis
Joe: KC. Sticking with the Chiefs as I have all year. Next year will be the Colts run for a Super Bowl birth.
Mike: KC. This will be the only game to score any point this weekend.
FINAL: Indianapolis 45-44. Leave it to Andy Reid to blow a 38-10 third quarter lead because he refuses to run the ball. And just because its always somehow comes back to Cleveland, their 1st round pick just moved down a couple more spots. 

New Orleans (+3.5) @ Philadelphia
J: NO. Gotta believe Brees keeps this one within a field goal and has a chance to win it at the end.
M: NO. Yeah, I agree. The game will be kept close but I think Philadelphia actually wins. Hope not, but I think so.
FINAL: New Orleans 26-24. For ending on a game winning kick as time expired, this game was boring. 

Sunday Games
San Diego (+6.5) @ Cincinnati
J: CIN. Marvin Lewis gets his first playoff win in double digit fashion followed by the opposite happening next weekend.
M: CIN. The Chargers are banged up and the Bengals are due for a playoff win.
FINAL: San Diego 27-10.  Please let Andy Dalton stay the Bengals QB for years to come.

San Francisco (-2.5) @ Green Bay
J: GB. I'll take the best player in the NFL (Rodgers) to win at home.
M: GB. It's hard to disagree with your statements. If I just pick the same as you throughout the postseason, I'll hang onto my 3 game lead. Ha! (I went back to see if I wanted to change any of my picks, just to be different, but I don't see any that I want to change. Now watch us miss all four picks.)
FINAL: San Francisco 23-20. Only good thing about this making us 1-3 for the weekend, Phil Dawson finally getting some credit for being a great NFL kicker.
