NFL Divisional Playoff Preview

Here Is Your Preview for the NFL Divisional Playoffs. When Monday Morning rolls around, four teams will be left standing in their quest for the Lombardi Trophy.

SATURDAY GAMES
SEAHAWKS AT PACKERS 4:30 PM EST FOX

This game has many storylines, the biggest one being how Mike Holmgren, who coached Brett Favre into the Hall Of Famer he is today and Coached the Packers to a victory in Super Bowl XXXI, will be on the other sideline with his Seattle Seahawks, who he led to an appearance in Super Bowl XL.

This Packers team is the best one of this decade. This is Brett Favre's 21st Playoff Game, which will break a tie with Steve Young for fifth all time.

Favre's 11-9 postseason record includes only one win in his last five appearnaces, but the victory came against Seattle at Lambeau Field. That 33-27 Overtime Victory on January 4, 2004, is best remembered for Matt Hasselbeck saying after the coin toss at the end of regulation "We want the ball and we're going to score!" Hasselbeck went on to throw an interception in overtime which was returned 52 yards by Al Harris for the game winning touchdown.

That's the only playoff game in which Brett Favre has not thrown an interception.

Let's look ahead to the present... This game will be worth camping out in front of the HD Set for. I expect there to be plenty of scoring for both teams. Shaun Alexander and Ryan Grant will have to run for good yardage. I think Green Bay will beat Seattle to advance to the NFC Championship Game.

JAGUARS AT PATRIOTS 8:00 PM EST CBS

The New England Patriots went undefeated in the Regular Season, but their perfect Regular season means nothing unless they have a perfect postseason as well.

With all the records this team set, if they go all the way and win the Super Bowl, they will no doubt be called the greatest team of all time.

The Jaguars are very underrated as a team. The two headed monster running game in the pairing of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. Taylor has the power to run over defenders, while Jones-Drew is the most elusive running back in the NFL today. I was watching the Jags play the Texans earlier this year and they were comapring Jones-Drew's elusiveness to Barry Sanders, and he has all the moves that Barry does!

Everyone knows the Jaguars can run, but they also have a very underrated defense, headlined by Marcus Stroud and John Henderson. The Patriots will not be able to run against Jacksonville today.

The Jaguars will have to play a ball control offensive attack. They will have to run it down the throats of the Patriots. The Jags have no passing game, so they have to run and keep running.

I'm torn. Part of me wants to see the Jags win while another part of me wants to see the Patriots go 16-0. I'll go with The Patriots because they have never lost at Foxboro.

SUNDAY GAMES

CHARGERS AT COLTS 1:00 PM EST CBS
Tony Dungy leads the Colts in their quest to repeat as Super Bowl Champions since The Patriots did in 2004 and 2005. They will face a San Diego team that beat them in the regular season 23-21, as Adam Vinateiri missed the game winning field goal. I think the Colts will beat the Chargers, but the Chargers will remember when they beat the Colts on Veteran's Day. That will be their modivation.

The Colts defense had better be prepared to see a heavy dose of the run, and they nedd to be prepares in case LT tries to leap over the pile into the endzone.

The Colts offense need to be prepared in case the Chargers send blitzers, and San Diego will blitz early and often. Peyton Manning will need to get rid of the ball quickly.

COLTS OVER CHARGERS

GIANTS VS COWBOYS 4:30 PM EST FOX

If the Cowboys defeat the Giants Sunday, the Cowboys will bwcome the first team to beat another team three times in the same season.

Dallas has not won a playoff game since 1996. They will try and change their luck against the Giants.

Eli Mannning looked solid against the Buccaneers defense last week, and I expect him to have much of the same success against this Cowboy defense.

The Cowboy defense needs to blitz early and often, get prssure in Eli's face, to get him to release the ball quicker than he wants to. This will hopefully lead to some turnovers.

The Passing game will have to rely more on Jason Witten, Terry Glenn, and Patrick Crayton because Terrell Owens will not be 100 percent for this game.

The Dallas Cowboys will beat the New York Giants to face Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game.

DALLAS OVER GREEN BAY.
