ROD picks the winners this weekend

[CGI_Ram]

Okay...

You get 4 selections.

Pick the winner of each matchup.

Don't pick who you hope wins, pick who you think wins.

Let's see if collectively we can nail it!

Wow is it possible that no home teams are going to win this weekend?????

I don't think it happens.

But, I can see why the picks are leaning that way.

I love playoff football. Yeah, the Rams are out... But I will ENJOY the next month of exceptional football.

Of the four playoff games over Wild Card Weekend, the home team is the underdog in three of them. One of the biggest reasons: The quarterbacks for the visiting teams have combined for 37 postseason starts while their home-team counterparts have ... zero.

The breakdown:

Chiefs vs. Texans
Alex Smith: 3 postseason starts, 1-2 record; Brian Hoyer: 0 starts.

Steelers vs. Bengals
Ben Roethlisberger: 15 starts, 10-5 record, 2-1 in the Super Bowl; AJ McCarron: 0 starts.

Seahawks vs. Vikings
Russell Wilson: 8 starts, 6-2 record, 1-1 in the Super Bowl; Teddy Bridgewater: 0 starts.

Packers vs. Redskins
Aaron Rodgers: 11 starts, 6-5 record, 1-0 in the Super Bowl; Kirk Cousins: 0 starts*.

So yeah, long odds for the home teams. Then again, who had the Texans winning the division after their 3-5 start? Or the Bengals overcoming the loss of Andy Dalton? Or the Vikings outlasting the Packers in the NFC North? Or the Redskins winning five of six to win their division

Road warrior weekend for sure.

 

[Dodgersrf]

I took Seattle, but really hope the Vikes can pull this one off.

 

[Leuzer]

I chose KC, PIT, GB, and MIN
KC, PIT, and GB are the favorites, but I think the Vikings are better than what most people give them credit for. Ultimately, I think it comes down to which Seahawks team comes to play - the team we saw two weeks ago against the Rams or the team we saw last we against the Cards. I think we see the first team because they'll be on the road and playing a temperature high in the single digits with wind gusts up to 25mph.

The only home team I picked is MINN.

I have to admit that I underestimated them the weeh before they played the Rams. I thought the Rams would take that game on the road and it sure didn't work out that way.

I'm right there with you on the picks.

My brother is a Vikings fan so I had a pretty good idea that the would not be easy but I thought we'd win and we should have.

The game they played against the seagals they were missing the middle of their defense, I don't see the same thing happening this weekend.

 

[Big Game]

My picks

Houston over KC 23 -17

Steelers over Bengals 27 - 20

Seahawks over Vikings 30 - 21

Redskins over Packers 24 - 21
