BL Predicts - Divisional playoffs

Last week the BL had a perfect week, assisted by the fact that I've had a very similar injury to RGIII and recognized that he was in far worse condition than everybody was letting on.   This week I don't have any extra insights other than the fact that home field advantage is huge in the NFL, in particular during the playoffs.   This week, I'll predict that the home field will be decisive in 3 of the 4 games.

Baltimore     14
Denver         27
The weather is going to be bad and the altitude is always "mile high" which makes it even more challenging for visitors.  These factors together with Peyton Manning's leadership should lead to an easy Denver win.

Green Bay              31
San Francisco         17
The 49ers are seriously banged up.  The home field advantage here won't be enough.

Atlanta     28
Seattle     27
Toughest game to predict.  History shows us that teams who have a history of  losing key games, continue to lose key games.   Furthermore, Seattle is a team on the rise.   But I think Atlanta's talent advantage and home field advantage will help them finally get a W in the playoffs.   It'll be close.

Houston           17
New England    33
New England wins easy at home
