Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots
This is a rematch that saw the Patriots beat up on the Broncos in their first meeting in Denver. Tim Tebow before the playoff game against the Steelers completed 30 passes out of 73 attempts and threw one touchdown to four picks. That also included a game against the Pats defense in which his completion percentage was at 50%. Given the time Bill Belichick has been given time to prepare this could quickly get out of hand. Pick: Patriots
Houston Texans vs Baltimore Ravens
This is also a rematch from earlier in the season that the Ravens won at home 29-14. The Ravens have to smother Arian Foster and make rookie quarterback TJ Yates beat them. The Texans will focus their defense on stopping Ray Rice but the game could come down to Joe Flacco and the Ravens passing game. Pick: Ravens
NFC
New Orleans Saints vs San Francisco 49ers
Drew Brees has been on fire this season and it continued last week against the Detroit Lions. But now they are playing a 49ers defense that ranked 4th in total yards per game and 2nd in points per game. If the 49ers offense can get the running game going and Alex Smith is able to capitalize on field position it could be a close game. Pick: Saints
New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers
Many are comparing the current Giants team to the one that won three road games on their way to win the Super Bowl back in 2007. The defense is coming together and the offense is on a bit of a roll. But don't forget about the Packers that finished the season 15-1 and routed a Detroit Lions playoff team with their back up quarterback Matt Flynn. This team is a team that is undefeated at home and looks to get back wideout Greg Jennings from injury. Pick: Packers
