Well, there are a few reasons for my picks this week, but my main reason is this, these two teams I picked to go to the Super Bowl before the season started.
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos: Broncos win. It's tough to pick against Tom Brady when the game matters, but this is Peyton's year. He broke Brady's single season TD record, stole his wide receiver (Wes Welker), and now tough times will come in threes for Tom because Manning has the better team. If Rob Gronkowski were healthy for the Patriots I'd pick New England, but he isn't and even with Denver's injuries and struggles on defense their offense is more potent than the Patriots, who have their own injury problems.
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks: 49ers win. Russell Wilson has struggled the last few weeks for the Seahawks and Colin Kaepernick has played great lately with a chip on his shoulder to get back to the Super Bowl. Both defenses and running games are great, but the edge goes to San Fran in the receiving game.
Overall I'm 173-90 (66%) and 6-2 in the playoffs (75%) this season and I still see this as Denver and San Francisco playing for it all this year in New Jersey. You can bet on it.
