Man did my picks suck. Knew the Bengals game could go either way, but holy hell did the Colts shit the bed and RG3 went down like a house of cards after Seattle popped him a couple times. And I certainly did not expect the Vikings to look that terrible, though I felt GB would likely win. Anyhow...
I agree with Araysar that Flacco will not do to the Denver D what Manning will do to the Ravens D, especially in Mile High this late in the season. That and their age will be the difference in this game, in my view. Now what the Ravens might accomplish is beating up the Broncos to the point where the Cheatriots have a much easier game (what used to be called the old Tampa Bay hangover back in the day) after they are done steamrolling the Texans.
The NFC games are a total crapshoot. I'd like to believe that GB will beat San Fran, because San Fran's offense is basically the same as what Minnesotta had but with a better QB and worse RB, but McCarthy can brain fart at any time and Harbaugh is a much better coach than him. Speaking totally as a GB fan, I think Packers 28 San Fran 27, but realistically this one could go either way. Seahawks got to beat teh crap out of a wounded running QB behind a sub par defense, but Atlanta are epic playoff choke artists and they have not beaten many strong opponents this year, so I would not even hazard a guess as to what is going to happen in that game, but I do think the game being in a dome hands Seattle a slight edge. Either way, the NFC games should be close affairs, unlike the likely seal clubbings that the AFC games will be.
