NFL: Divisional Picks

By -
These are some of the toughest games to predict all season! I guess this is how it should be at this point in the year. All four of these games will be well worth tuning in for. 

Last week's picks were all correct except the Colts losing to the Ravens. Good on Ray Lewis to announce his retirement before the season was over. That definitely gave and gives Baltimore some extra motivation.

Here are That's Sports' NFL Divisional Picks...


Saturday's Games
Denver Broncos over Baltimore Ravens
San Francisco 49ers over Green Bay Packers

Sunday's Games
Seattle Seahawks* over Atlanta Falcons
New England Patriots over Houston Texans

The Seahawks are as hot as any team remaining and will beat the Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Russell Wilson is the only rookie QB left but has played like a wise veteran.

The Patriots are facing the Texans for the first time since their blowout victory last month. They have to avoid a letdown and make sure that Arian Foster doesn't break loose for some big runs. Brady and Belichick will be well prepared and will lead the Pats back to the AFC Championship. If the Broncos can handle the Ravens Saturday then the AFC Championship will be the matchup that everyone dreams of (Brady vs. Manning).

The 49ers have a much better defense than the Packers and that will be the deciding factor as the Niners  will return to the NFC Championship. If the Seahawks continue their winning ways then the Seahawks-Niners rematch will be fantastic! 

Enjoy the games folks!

The Yips

Growing up I was absolutely enamored with the game of baseball. In my humble opinion, baseball stands alone atop the Mount Rushmore of North American sports in its ability to be romanticized. If you remember the  leitmotif of the movie, "Moneyball", was "It's hard to not be romantic about baseball." It's tough to find a line in a film that resonates so much with reality, at least as I see it. What other game can you watch someone try and be perfect for 27 outs and roughly 130 excruciating pitches? What other game can you watch someone lose their mind over an incident involving the length of pine tar applied to a bat? What other game can you get 'beaned', watch the pitcher 'balk', take your base, avoid being picked off by a sly pickoff move, and jump out of the way of your teammate's line drive all in a matter of a minute? Or, to think of even what happened this week in baseball, Mookie Betts took a homerun away by a matter of inches wi...

Arozarena And His Rays

If you somehow missed out on watching Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, I must tell you that you missed an all-time classic. There were a plethora of lead changes, momentum swings, and no shortage of heroes. Even though the hometown boy Brett Phillips delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th, Randy Arozarena continues to be the backbone of this incredible Tampa Bay Rays baseball club. So who is this phenom of a baseball player? I need to be upfront about how I haven't followed this baseball season as closely as normal because my Boston Red Sox's management decided to punt on the season by trotting out a rotation of minor league pitchers. This means that Randy Arozarena was unfamiliar to me until this postseason. Now I can decisively state that Arozarena   is one remarkable hitter of the baseball! Arozarena began his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. He only appeared in 19 games and so he's still considered a rookie in 2020. Even though the sample s...
