playoffs continue

This week has two very easy picks and two difficult ones as the playoffs continue. I was 4 for 4 last week so here we go.

Patriots 28 Texans 14 (4). Houston's defense will play better than they did the last time they played the Patriots but Matt Schaub has been regressing for the last 5 weeks now. I did pick Houston to go the the superbowl before the season started so either way I can't lose on this one.
Broncos 24 Ravens 10 (3). Peyton Manning leading Denver's offense with the help of the mile high altitude will take all the energy out of the Ravens.
Packers 21 49ers 20 (2). Tough one but even though Aaron Rodgers has been sacked almost more than any other quarterback he should have just enough time to make the big plays since Justin Smith is playing with a torn tricep. If Smith were healthy I would pick San Francisco
Falcons 24 Seattle 20 (1). The toughest game to pick. Everyone knows about Atlanta's failure to win in the playoffs in recent years but Seattle lost their best pass rusher Chris Clemmons last week and this is the deciding factor. Matt Ryan will have time with multiple offensive weapons to win another game close at home like they did for most of the regular season
