NFL Playoffs Round 2-Ben's Take

With Tim giving his playoff analysis already, I figured that I will post my thoughts on the upcoming divisional round games.

Ravens V Titans: Although many of you might think that this might be a walk for the Titans, the Ravens actually lead for most of their matchup against the Titans in week four. Joe Flacco as a quarterback has made leaps and bounds from that game. I'm calling an upset for the Ravens

Panthers V Cardinals: Another match-up that was already played in the regular season in week eight. The Cardinals looked to be in control until the second half where they couldn't put away a strong Carolina Panthers running-game. However when game that might see rain in the forecast and no Anquan Boldin for the Cardinals, Panthers win in a walk.

Eagles V Giants: You left the Eagles for dead didn't you? You forgot they had a quarterback by the name of Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook is the integral part to the Philadelphia offense. Although the Giants are the team that I suspect will be the answer to this riddle, what team will win the Super Bowl and be one and done for playoffs the next year? The loss of Plaxico Burress is still a big factor and the Eagles beat them convincing in their last game on their turf. I go for one and done.

Chargers V Steelers: This might be the most difficult game to pick over the weekend due to the questionable status of Ben Roethlisberger. However I don't suspect Darren Sproles will run for 300 all purpose-yards against the number one defense in the NFL. This game will be close at the end but I suspect Pittsburgh to pull through on a Jeff Reed field goal.
