Brent & Huhn's Wild Card picks


Huhns

Cincinnati +3 at Houston
For the first time all year, Hambone likes someone other than the T’s. I think he finally realized that the Bengal logo was a “B” with Tiger stripes. I like Houston but in the 10 minutes of cable TV I watched in the hotel this weekend I saw that Yates is hurt now too… not good, even for a Kubiak.

New Orleans -10 vs. Detroit
The Swords are a favorite and even though 10 is a lot of points and last year the Saints struggled in Week One of the playoffs, they are at home and right now I think Brees  could actually do one of those old Reebok commercials.

New York -3 vs. Atlanta
“Hey, I have a suit like that!” Referring to his toy helmet, shoulder pads, pants and jersey that Mom customized with “Icebox”. I know nothing about Atlanta except they have a decent young QB. I’ll take Hambone’s pick because there’s something about Eli, like a hot girl that always does you wrong but you keep coming back…

Denver +8 vs. Pittsburg
Tebow has been regressing, no doubt about it – but he’s a gamer, big time gamer. 8 is a lot and Pitt’s all kinds of banged up. Ryan Clark lost two organs last time he played in Mile High – he still wants to go, just to show the stadium he’s better than that – Tomlin’s keeping him out and they’re missing a lot of their fight. Denver may not win but this score will look more like a baseball game and 8 is pretty safe. 


Brent
Texans (-3) – Cincy knew they had to stop Baltimore’s run game last week, and what did Ray Rice do? He ran for 170+ yards… expect their run defense to struggle against Foster and Tate

Saints (-10) – Ndamakong Suh’s presence in this game will only provide more penalties for Detroit. If Detroit is down by 2 scores in the 2nd half, look for Suh to get ejected by literally trying to rip the head off of Drew Brees. Saints win big, Jim Schwartz cries and throws a tantrum

Giants (-3) – Atlanta is not very good on the road, Giants have played well in their last two games, both in the same stadium, although one was a “road” game

Broncos (+8) – The Steelers have a lot of injuries right now, maybe because they are elderly, but look for that to affect the outcome a little bit. I still think the Steelers have the upper hand in this one, but the injuries keep it at 1 score
