Pats -7, 50 |
Once again, here are are all of our picks this week. To my surprise, I'm the only one that took the Giants. Here's a stat for you. Eli Manning is 4-0 on the road in the playoffs in his career. A win today would set a NFL record for QBs. A stat that makes me nervous though is that the Niners are 9-0 against the spread at home this year.
As for Pats vs Ravens, Ravens are 4-4 against the spread this year on the road (4-4 straight up as well). Oddly, the Ravens are 5-1 against the spread vs teams with a winning record. Pats have covered 10 out of 16 games this season, and NE has covered the last 3 teams they've played with a winning record. The Pats rushing D is ranked 17th in the NFL while the Ravens boast 2nd best rush D and 4th best pass D. That's good enough for me to take the 7 points.

Unless you want this guy to be happy.

Kevin Ewoldt - January 22, 2012 via mobile
I certainly don't want Patriot fans to win it all
The smug cloud from Boston could trigger a mass extinction.
willster - January 22, 2012
i know right, that smug hazard level is already high
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
He looks like Andre from the league, but with a really bad hair piece
mbedner - January 22, 2012
go niners
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Love the Ravens
Even to win straight up. I’ve flipped back and forth on the NFC game, but I’m taking the Giants.
Reedskin - January 22, 2012
You do realize that the Giants play in our division, right?
DCO'sfan - January 22, 2012
You do realize I was just predicting who I thought would win, right?
Reedskin - January 23, 2012
I wanted the Skins to draft Torrey Smith.
iH8dallas - January 22, 2012 via mobile
I dont think Flacco would be an upgrade over Grossman. Fewer INTs but no more production.
Kevin Ewoldt - January 22, 2012 via mobile
And more Fu Manchu
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
Yeah what's up with the silent movie villain look?
willster - January 22, 2012
Did he lose a bet?
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
Yea I think he did because he said in an interview last week that he had to have it all season and he cant wait to shave it off
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
Brilliant blocking in the red zone.
They run well behind Solder (I think TW would be a brilliant RT, but that’s another argument for another time).
Logan Mankins is a beast. Good block from Welker too.
You just knew that after that face-mask penalty, they were giving it back to Green Elllis again. Great drive from the smug, insufferable tw@ts.
Stephen Beagrie - January 22, 2012
A WR that can break a tackle. Must be nice.
Kevin Ewoldt - January 22, 2012 via mobile
yeah isnt that amazing
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Anybody else hate the Ravens and hoping they lose, so their fans can STFU and stop talking to us Redskins fans?
TerpsAllTheWay - January 22, 2012
Only team I don't dislike that's still in the postseason is the 49ers. All my hopes are riding on them
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
agreed but they are playing the pats
and yes, their fans are annoying but I think it’s cuz they have a lil bro complex to our big brother-ness so i brush it off.
mkjo - January 22, 2012
I was rooting for the Patriots
now i will root for the 49ers.
hambonejackson - January 22, 2012
shuda gone for the 3
mkjo - January 22, 2012
Poor decision, but now they get the ball with a shot at the game
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
flacco
he seems to give up on plays too early rather then trying to extend them. obviously when he has time he can be a solid qb. i guess thats been known.
mkjo - January 22, 2012
Pats vs. 49er's????
getmoneykid - January 22, 2012 via mobile
Neither QB had anything to do with who won this game.
In fact’s I’d say Flacco played a better game than Brady. That game was won entirely by the Defense and Special Teams.
TheDeepBall - January 22, 2012
In fact*
TheDeepBall - January 22, 2012
i agree.
mkjo - January 22, 2012
i wanna see jints against the pats
i think they really have their number.
mkjo - January 22, 2012
but sf's d is capable as well.
not sure about sf’s o
mkjo - January 22, 2012
Evans inability to hold on to the football lost the Ravens the game.
Kind of sad seeing when watching kickers choke in the playoffs. Reminds me off the former colts kicker choke job.
LA11 - January 22, 2012
I still don't understand that last drive...
The Patriots had Edelman on Boldin the whole drive. WTF is up with that?? The Ravens picked on him the whole drive and the Pats got away with it because of the missed kick.
Now I can understand if you’re low on DBs to stick a WR back there, but to put him on the best WR?? Really? I’m annoyed this will get overlooked because of the missed kick…
UkRedskin - January 22, 2012
yeah and someone will defend it and call Belicheck a genuis just because of the end result
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Pats v.s. The Giants. I'm calling it.
TerpsAllTheWay - January 22, 2012
God I hope not, I kick Giants in the nuts with a steel toe, or a wingtip
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Oh, but I feel like the Patriots will beat them this time.
Both have terrible defenses.
TerpsAllTheWay - January 22, 2012
The Pats D won them this game.
TheDeepBall - January 22, 2012
That really felt
Like how the Skins would lose a game like that. That’s how it feels Baltimore, minus AFC Championship and all.
jellis113 - January 22, 2012 via mobile
Man I just want to lock Eli in a porta potty and flip that bitch over.
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
At a Chili Cook-Off
willster - January 22, 2012
for people with dysentary
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
dysentery*
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
rogers the loudmouth getting burned AWESOME!!!!
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
+1
willster - January 22, 2012
Anything helping the Giants get to the Super Bowl
is not awesome.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
the niners will still win
but piss on rogers
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
burned now twice...
jgibbsfan1 - January 22, 2012
5-0 in the last two weeks and after the Giants win i will be 6-0
Jeff Bernard - January 22, 2012
Then I guess you better update that signature block
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
Stephan, that is a funny observation...
Jeff, so you are to blame for pushing Cundiff’s kick EXTREMELY WIDE LEFT. It must be so cool having such power. I think I saw you in the movie trailer for “Chronicle”.
Just some light humor…
jgibbsfan1 - January 22, 2012
I love how Carlos Rogers is getting lit up
Giants throwing at him when they need a first down. I don’t care if he made Pro Bowl b/c he still sucks. Giants remember him from his pathetic Skins days.
cdmterp - January 22, 2012
again and again...
and again and again…
hahahahahahahahahaha
jgibbsfan1 - January 22, 2012
Coughlin looks like he needs a laxative
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Aikman made a funny
willster - January 22, 2012
anyone have an argument still about rogers
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Yea, CBs get beat all the time, especially when they are playing in the slop. He's still a good corner and has had a great year
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
you gotta be able to game on the big stage
when it matters you know. you can be a regular season hero all you want but if you cant perform now what good is it.
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Completely agree
but I wish he would STFU
ENsDad27 - January 22, 2012
+1
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
excuses, excuses, excuses...
what, were you guys roomates at Auburn? He never lived up to his draft status here (he wasn’t horrible, that’s the best I can say about him), that is why he couldn’t find ANYONE to give him the money and now he is reborn? Doubt it.
I hope the 9ers don’t give him what he thinks he is worth…
jgibbsfan1 - January 22, 2012
Victor Cruz is awesome
Just saying..
willster - January 22, 2012
I'm glad we've got to see so much of Carlos Rogers
I wonder who he’s going to blame for getting burned by Cruz?
The Shanaplan - January 22, 2012 via mobile
Maybe a contact lense fell out....
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
love the look on couglin's face after that one
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
I think the Giants still win but good for Alex Smith
He went from a classic bust to a solid respectable NFL starting QB. Well done Mr. Smith.
Jeff Bernard - January 22, 2012
Agree about Alex Smith
Glad to see him succeeding. On a side note, my wife & I recently returned to Charlottesville & purchased another house in Lyndhurst, its just as beautiful as I remember
ENsDad27 - January 22, 2012
Let's go '9ers
I’m trying to hit on San Fran -3, and see the a hated division rival go home
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
Smith has only thrown 13 passes.
Please tell me Kyle is watching this and taking notes! I hope Mike is smacking him on the back of the head.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
that only works
if you have the niners personel
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Understand, but it's the game plan of running the ball
To set up the pass that I want to see in DC, not the other way around.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
agree 100 percent
name a qb on our roster that can pass or a receiver who can catch
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Please don't tell me Devin Thomas
just scored a TD in the NFC Championship game on some BS play.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
Alright.
Its just change of possession.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
What a stupid play by the 9ers return man....if you aren't catching it, get away from the ball
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
That 40 yard return
doesn’t make up for the last bonehead return.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
QB....TBD, WR...we got cheated
With the injury to Hankerson. Don’t forget it takes a few years for WRs to really start to produce. Paul and Robinson show promise. Hank comes back and we will see.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
i can live with developing wide receivers
but i will not stomach another season with rex or beck
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Don't think that will be the case
Shanahan has his plan, it’s working, I think the QB is the focus this year. Trade away extra picks and get his man. Plenty of cap space for FAs. I think we have seen rock bottom and are starting to move up out of this hole.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
get on your knees
and beg that there wont be another washed up veteran to be qb
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
I don't know how I feel about Manning.
If he’s cleared and healthy…I just don’t know
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
yeah
but three years at best. what about the long term. if Payton comes here then what does our draft position look like next year.
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
i want a young dude drafted, no offense to the Great Peyton
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
i dont know about you
but i think i like tyler hansen alot
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
It will be hurt, I think.
He will bring more wins, but a ring? He’ll get us to the middle of the pack where we’ll have to trade away the future to get a top QB in the draft.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
my thoughts exactly
time for a rookie i dont even care if he starts
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Wow, that scramble by Alex Smith is something we could never seem to get JC to do
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
cmon man 0/9 on 3rd?
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
man have you ever seen a defense play the screen better
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
beckum had one sec to say "oh shit" when Pat was coming
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Wish that was Cruz!
That pu$$y ducks hits worse than anyone I’ve seen in a while. Start calling Cruz primetime for ducking.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
fuck these refs man
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
That was BS on the forward momentum.
Blew the whistle way to early.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
+1 Game Changer
StephanHart - January 22, 2012
Yep, the refs are the #1 game changer.
MAJSkinsfan - January 22, 2012
fuck you mike p
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Alex has no time
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
damn I could have swore that Kyle called that series
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
pass rushers
Can never have too many. But I wouldn’t be unhappy if skins grabbed someone like kuehly from bc.
PlaymakerInDC - January 22, 2012 via iPhone app
are you fucking kidding me smith?
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
the grossman syndrome can strike at any time
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
xfinity!!!!
Are you kidding me fox!!
PlaymakerInDC - January 22, 2012 via iPhone app
I keep getting fucking xfinity
Commercials in between plays. Wtf.
Knubles and Bits - January 22, 2012 via mobile
CARLOS WITH THE HANDSS
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Whew, it was Rogers in coverage
For a second I thought it might get picked.
willster - January 22, 2012
ha ha ha ha ha
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
when did smith come out and McNabb go in?
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Carlos Rogers has hands like a cows udder
The Shanaplan - January 22, 2012
Willis is a fucking beast
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
yeah he is the asschild combo of Pat Swilling and Steve Atwater
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
and Chuck Norris
The Shanaplan - January 22, 2012
yeah, he can do the Total Gym with his hard-on
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
he wasn't in the neutral zone fuckhead
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Oh wow!
willster - January 22, 2012
you have got to be shitting me
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Of course, Devin Thomas...
willster - January 22, 2012
fuck that son of a bitch too
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
don't sugar coat it buddy , haha
willster - January 22, 2012
this is about like cundiff missing the kick
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Whos the bigger goat?
Williams or Cundiff?
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
very debatable
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
Williams, he just pissed away one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
His mistakes
are going to lead to two scores. One that gave the Giants their first lead. And one that seals the game. Pathetic.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
they should code red his ass with bars of soap in towels, like in Full Metal Jacket
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
i am glad not to be a 9er fan right now
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
I'm glad I'm not a Harbaugh Brother right now.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
you gotta be kidding me
el freako - January 22, 2012
Tynes is a douche for that reax
el freako - January 22, 2012
Pats and Giants???? Is there a way to not have a winner this year?
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
Interviews with kickers
bring my football high down
el freako - January 22, 2012
well, I am depressed now........goodnight all.
irishgoon - January 22, 2012
the only good thing
that could possibly come out of the super bowl is brady and eli break both of there legs and cannot play next year. Oh and coughlin gets hit by a random player on the sideline
vjessejamesv - January 22, 2012
6-0 the last two weekends
Does this mean i am the best football analyst on HogsHaven??? Hahah
Jeff Bernard - January 22, 2012
You should be rich by now.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
I knew it! Pats v.s. Giants Superbowl.
I am going to say the Patriots win the Superbowl this time, their defense is getting hot at the right time. Also I don’t want to hear Giants fans shit-talking.
TerpsAllTheWay - January 22, 2012
Awful
Adam Schefter
Just as everyone expected: Devin Thomas and Sterling Moore would be the two heroes of Championship Sunday.
HogHunter - January 22, 2012
Nah
The real hero of the NFC Championship is the SF Punt returner.
TheDeepBall - January 22, 2012
Redskins fans are asking...
WHY ARE WE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN BEAT THE GIANTS!??
