Saints are going to roll this weekend. Philly's weakness is the secondary, although they've played better lately. Chicago was the perfect matchup for them. A mediocre QB who couldn't punish their weakness. Now they get Brees. He's going to pick them apart.
I have to pick NE over LAC, and I hate it. Rivers has a noticeably worse passer rating against man coverage, and that's the Pats bread and butter. The NFL schedulers didn't do the Chargers any favors in the playoffs either. 2 straight weeks of a single noon game. 2 straight weeks of the Chargers having to travel to the east coast for the noon game. They've been great on the road this year, but this is Foxborough.
The Colts might be hot, but who have they beaten in the second half of the season? I love what they're doing in Indy, especially on the O line, but the fun ends now. Colts are a zone heavy defense, and Mahomes has destroyed zone all year, especially in the red zone. Arrowhead is going to be rocking, and those boys haven't forgotten their playoff meltdown vs Indy last year. Give me KC.
Lastly, I'm on the Cowboys. I love the way their defense is playing, and I think they're catching the Rams at the perfect time with the right scheme to beat them. Just jam Zeke down their throats, and D up! Goff hasn't been the same without Kupp down the stretch. I realize McVay might very well outcoach Garrett, which lowers my confidence, but my pick stays the same.
