NFL Playoff Picks

Saints at 49ers

I think this game will be a good game between to good teams.  The Saints passing game will do pretty well against the 49ers defense.  But the 49ers will not allow the Saints to run the ball at all, and they will make plays when they need to against the Saints passing game.  The 49ers, with Frank Gore will be able to run all over the Saints defense, and they will have a decent day from Alex Smith passing the ball.  The 49ers have a better defense and run game.  With the 49ers playing at home and their ability to slow down offenses, I think the 49ers will win.

Broncos at Patriots

I think this game will be a lot better than their previous meeting against each other in the regular season.  The Broncos have the momentum coming into this game with a win last week against the Steelers.  The Patriots do have a better offense, but there defense is one of the worst in the NFL.  I think the Broncos will be able to run the ball effectively and throw the ball well when they need to.  The Patriots will not be able to run the ball well, but they will have a good day passing the ball.  I think the Broncos ability to run the ball, and their ability to slow down good offenses, will be the difference in the game.  That is why I think the Broncos will win in this close game.
