I was very very tempted to pick the packers against the niners.

Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens

This could be a bit closer than people expect. Houston came out with a great gameplan last week and dominated what was one of the best defenses in the regular season.

Baltimore will be under a huge amount of pressure given Lamar has one only one playoff game so far in his career. If they don't win this one there will be huge questions to answer.

Realistically The Texans will be up against it here. Their strength on offense doesn't really match up well with Baltimore. The Ravens have an elite defense and are particularly good against the deep pass, which is where Houston normally has success.

If there is a weakness there it is in the run game so Houston would need to profit there to have any chance. I could see them causing the ravens some problems early, but without some of their key players and the Ravens ability to win in so many ways it would seem a step too far for Houston.

Baltimore to win

Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

There are several similarities here in the late game but you feel the packers offense will fancy their chances of putting up some points. The 49ers defense has been good this year but it hasn't been at the level of the defenses they've put out the previous few years.

I feel the 49ers are vulnerable against a good rushing attack and Green bay will need to run the ball well if they are to stay in the game. If Aaron Jones and co and find success it will open things up for Love in the passing game. The 49ers secondary has been good but if you can get them into nickel and have Amby Thomas on the field they are a bit more suspect.

The packers offensive line is very good so SF will need a big game from the pass rush, but again that is all neutralized by a solid packers run game.

The problem for the packers is the other side of the ball, their defense is just not good, particularly defending the middle of the field, against running backs, TE's etc. Their linebackers are not good in coverage and unfortunately for Green Bay that is exactly where SF like to attack.

I can see Green Bay playing well on offense but I just don't think they will get enough stops. Their best shot will be to try to have very long drives and hope for a turnover or 2 but personally I see the 49ers winning this in the second half, like the Ravens there are just too many ways they can win.

49ers to win

Man Vs ManUre · 22-01-2024 9:31am

4/4. A100% success rate. Probably the greatest prediction round performance in history!!

2-2 for the weekend. Texans never really were in it against the Ravens and the Bills inability to stretch the field was their achilles heel - I get the feeling Josh Allen will always come up 2nd best against Mahomes.

Got 3 right last week so on 177 & 105.

Ravens and a Lions upset this week

Man Vs ManUre · 25-01-2024 8:20pm

This is the most difficult round to pick but I will go with the 2 home favourites, a Ravens vs 49ers Super Bowl.

Kev8360 · 26-01-2024 3:06pm

I am going to go double upsets this week with away teams shocking the #1 seeds and a Lions - Chiefs Superbowl.

Realt Dearg Sec · 26-01-2024 3:33pm

All four teams are being written off!!!

Really rooting for the Lions but just can't pick against the 9ers here.

tripperman · 28-01-2024 9:18pm

Ravens 49ers tonight,

But I do want the lions to win but just think 49ers defence and experience in the big game get them over the line tonight

paulie21 · 28-01-2024 9:25pm

Bit late but going Chiefs and 49ers

Man Vs ManUre · 29-01-2024 9:19am

1/2 but still made it to Super Bowl with the 49ers.

0-2 so 178-106 because while I’m not shocked that the lions that lost as I was taking a punt on them, but the ravens **** the bed was annoying.

1 - 1 which brings me to 189 - 95

Man Vs ManUre · 08-02-2024 12:47am

175 - 109. But I did make it to the Super Bowl so still in with a chance of winning this. I am going with the Chiefs on Sunday.

FantasyFool · 08-02-2024 3:09pm

177 & 107 overall. Il take San Fran on Sunday

Itssoeasy · 09-02-2024 9:55am

178-106 for the whole season and I’m taking the niners. Saw both the chiefs and niners live as they both played the eagles and the niners were easily the better team. If CMC gets rolling and Purdy doesn’t screw up I can’t see the niners losing.

Paleface · 10-02-2024 9:49pm

189 - 95 heading into the big one!

I feel stupid backing against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid but I'm going to pick the 49ers. If I'm wrong then as a Seahawks fans I get to watch an NFC rival crash and burn. Its a win win! :)

Man Vs ManUre · 12-02-2024 9:45am

176 - 109. Made it to the playoffs as a wild card, then got through each round and last night won the Super Bowl. I think that naked me the winner of the thread for this season, or at least joint winner.

Carcharodon · 12-02-2024 10:07am

sf resident for over 20 years, tonight hurt big time, probably worst one ever, I actually feel sick,, how can you lose that !!!

respect to Mahomes, he is brilliant but we messed that up some how

Congrats Paleface, another hell of a year of picks from you. You should have won it last year too if I remember correctly, if you hadn't have missed a couple of Saturday games? Some going, I hope you're sticking a few quid on these somewhere!
