Pittsburgth Steelers defeat Baltimore Ravens to move on to AFC championship
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: News, NFL, Playoffs,
In what was being hyped up as a game that would be equivalent to a boxing match, as well as possible a lower scoring game, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens didn't disappoint in that it was a hard-fought game. However, no one saw the scoring that would happen with the Steelers beating the Ravens 31-24. The Ravens actually went into the half with a 21-7 lead, but the home team Steelers came out strong in the second half, outscoring the Ravens 24-3. Ben Roethlisberger threw for two touchdowns while Rashard Mendenhall ran for a couple of scores. Next up is the AFC championship for Pittsburgh.

Chris Sannella and Dennis Velasco break down and make their picks for the AFC Divisional Series, which include the Baltimore Ravens versus Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets versus New England Patriots.

True Predictions: Saints, Colts, Vikings and Chargers Will Hold Serve
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL,
The quarterfinals of the NFL tournament are set. Last week I went 2-2. Season record hits 46-36. There’s a reason why the upcoming playoff home teams got byes last week. They’re a cut above the competition. The favored New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals lost last weekend. Were they out-played or just not so good? Will any of the favorites this week be out-played or have a bad day?

True Predictions: Home Teams Will Rule Wild Card Weekend
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL,
Predictably, I go 3–2 in the final week of the regular season. The season mark runs to 47-36. Wild Card Weekend provides three repeat match-ups from last weekend, but I only see one coming up with the same result. The home teams will get fat on home-cooking and victories this weekend.

True Predictions: Steelers, Eagles, Ravens and Jets Have Something to Play For
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL,
The San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers held true last week. The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins proved disappointing. The Giants completely tanked and will miss the playoffs. I went 3-2 for the week. The season mark runs to 44-34. Selections for Week 17 are based on games in which both teams have something to play for (as best we can assess).

My goal is to hit the .600-.660 mark with the predictions this season, but it’s going to be tough. I went 3-3 last week. The season record is at 41-32 (just a bit below .570). To the Express!

True Predictions: Wild Card Wannabes, Titans vs. Colts, Cowboys and Vikings
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL,
On the way to a 3-2 record from last weekend True Predictions threw out these claims: a) “the Saints will have no trouble with New England,” and b) “it will be Hail, Hail Vince Young in Tennessee’s win over Arizona.” Our third win featured the Indianapolis Colts coming from behind to defeat the under-performing Houston Texans. The Pittsburgh Steelers and substitute QB Dennis Dixon played well enough to win (other than an INT in OT), but the Baltimore Ravens took the victory. The Jacksonville Jaguars needed to show us something in San Francisco, but instead it was the 49ers that were more impressive. The season record on my predictions runs to 35-22.

True Predictions: So Much Good & Bad, Titans, and Patriots vs. Saints on MNF
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL,
Week Eleven proved profitable for me as I went 5-1 and run the season record to 32-20. Two upsets: Oakland Raiders over the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs over the Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t even selected to predict since I figured the also-rans would have no shot. But I did have the feeling that the one-win wonders, the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions, would deliver a close contest. A last second pass interference call in the end zone set up the Detroit victory. I got the expected wins by the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers. My lone loss was due to Vince Young leading the Tennessee Titans to their fourth straight victory in a hard-fought match-up with the Houston Texans. The Texans needed to show they could be contenders (against a 3-6 team), but it just was not to be.
