Packers 21, Bears 13. Green Bay defense continues its impressive postseason run. I think they'll own the line of scrimmage and take it from there. A hassled Cutler will be serving 'em up to the Packer secondary. I don't see Chicago's secondary matching up near as well, so even when the Bears get Rodgers in trouble, he'll be a lot better at slipping out of it than Cutler.
Steelers 27, Jets 24. The Jets have burned me twice already so I'm definitely feeling edgy on this one. Especially because, if both defenses play their top games, I think it would be the Jets who move the ball better. Imagine what happens if the Jets shut down the Steeler running game and Revis takes a side of the field away from Big Ben. They'll be booing the home team in Heinz Field, that's what'll happen. And the Steelers have very exploitable holes on their offensive line. The team that wins this game may simply be the team that loses the coin toss and starts steam-rolling momentum on D. And the Steelers haven't been unbeatable at home in the playoffs in recent years. And I'm probably an idiot for sticking with them, but I will, on the theory that Sanchez will make one more big mistake than Big Ben will and that the Jets are overdue to just run out of gas.
Also, congratulations to Al Saunders for landing the offensive coordinator position in Oakland yesterday. Enjoy your fifteen smoke routes a game, Black Hole.
