Round Two Predictions

Washington at Seattle: Washington will keep it close early but they will be worn down by the powerful running game and efficient passing of Seattle. Brunell isn't good enough nor does he have the weapons to come back. Seattle wins going away. Prediction: Seattle 34 Washington 13

New England at Denver: New England's defense has played much better towards the end of the year. Of course, their schedule was very easy down the stretch as well. Their secondary is pathetic, and Denver's running game is relentless. Plummer will silence alot of his critics by playing a more efficient game than Brady who will throw 2-3 interceptions. Prediction: Denver 27 New England 21

Carolina at Chicago: I have wavered on this game. At first I was backing Carolina because of their impressive performance last week, their playoff experience, and their proficiency playing on the road. After further thought though, I think Grossman will have a career game (which isn't saying that much), and Carolina will follow up a great performance with a terrible one as they have all year. Prediction: Chicago 24 Carolina 10

Pitt at Indy: The Steelers were blown out by the Colts in the regular season. This game will be closer, but I still see the Colts prevailing at the end (but not covering). Prediction: Colts 34 Steelers 26
