Divisional Round Picks

If you have to rank top 8 teams ignoring the division, ranking would be some what as follows:

Seahawks
Broncos
49ers
Patriots
Panthers
Saints
Chargers
Colts




According to this, we should see Seahawks vs Broncos in the Super Bowl, but then funny things have happened in the past and favorites have not always won or make it to the super bowl. Irrespective of that, Patriots and Broncos are comparatively safer picks to go through their matches this weekend. If there is a remote chance of a upset that would be Colts, considering the momentum that they are carrying from last game. Chargers are lucky to be in playoff and Broncos should be an easy pick out of all 4 games.

NFC is tough to pick. Although, they say Seahawks is the best team in the league and they are playing at home, which is the best place for them to play Football, Saints are perfectly capable of causing an upset. Saints have very good offense, which means, they will always be in the game going into the fourth quarter, now, how much lead is enough? As long as Saints keep the game close enough with 2 possession to win, they got a chance, a very remote chance but still a chance.

Game of the Week is going to be 49ers vs Panthers. 49ers have amazing defense and Panthers got very good offense. It will be decided in the fourth quarter with few up and downs. Considering 49ers had experience of reaching to the super bowl last year with same team strength, they might be just able to pull this off on the road.

So, Final Four will be: Seahawks, Broncos, 49ers and Patriots as predicted by the betting websites.
