Divisional Playoff Games, Saturday

Record last week: 4-0

Record last week (against spread): 2-2

@49'ers (+3.5) over Saints

I'm having a tough time being objective about this game, mostly because if the Giants win Sunday, one of these teams (the Saints) will most likely crush them next week and the other (San Fran) would probably - at worst - only beat the G-Men by three. But I have to be objective, and that means that however sloppy the Niners are able to make this game - and I think they will get it slow enough to compete and at least cover the spread - they won't have enough offense to put the Saints away. You don't bet against Drew Brees if you think that. I mean, maybe you do, but I don't.

Saints 24, 49'ers 21

@Patriots (-13.5) over Broncos

Patriots fans are super worried about this game, more worried than I've ever heard them. That might be the best reverse reverse reverse jinx in the world. Teams who are actually cognizant of the upset possibility and ramifications of said upset usually win easily. Tim Tebow or not, that's what happens here.

Patriots 37, Broncos 3
