NFL Picks of the Week: Divisional Round - Day 2

NFC DIVISIONAL MATCHUP #2
DALLAS COWBOYS AT GREEN BAY PACKERS

Scotty's Pick
Even though it was an ugly win, I will stand by what I said last week.  If Dallas gets over the hump of winning their first playoff game in many years, they are my front runner for making it to the Super Bowl.  I see this game as a slug fest that will leave both teams hurting for the following week.  With both defenses being top tiered, I see the firepower from the Cowboys being too much for the Packers to stop.  And Green Bay has not been consistent in the past couple of weeks, after putting up 50+ points for two weeks, they struggle to put up 24+ for the rest of the season?  Undefeated at home vs. Undefeated on the road. 
WINNER - DALLAS

John's Pick
I think of all of the games I've had to look at this weekend, this one will be the toughest one to predict. On one hand you have the red hot Cowboys, a terror on the road preparing to do what they do best at Lambeau Field. On the other hand, you have the Packers at home, playing on their terrifying Tundra, a place that Tony Romo rarely goes. Truth is, I think the X factor in this game is Aaron Rodgers and his calf injury. If he can play through it like he did last week, it's over for the Cowboys and that's what I think happens today, Rodgers comes out and plays it Superman style for a trip to Seattle and the NFC Title Game.
WINNER - GREEN BAY

AFC DIVISIONAL MATCHUP #2
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AT DENVER BRONCOS

Scotty's Pick
I can’t find a good reason to go against the Broncos in this game since they have been able to pull out 12 wins again this season.  Getting the bye week should help out the defense as they have been keeping the team in all of the games this year and if they are healthy, I feel sorry for any quarterback that faces them.  On the offensive side of the ball, I don't know what the game plan will be since they have changed to a power running team from the pass happy team we saw the first couple weeks of the season. On the Colts side, they have not had to change their attack all year and Andrew Luck is one of the best in the game and should be able to keep his team in the game, not only with his arm, but with his legs.  I expect a close, low scoring game, but if neither defenses show up to play, it might become the highest scoring game in playoff history with all of the weapons that are on the field. WINNER - DENVER

John's Picks
There's a lot to be said when it comes to how well the Colts are playing right now, and winning your division is no small task. But...the Colts have flaws. Sure they have an incredible quarterback in Andrew Luck and his receiving corps, but they still don't have a running game and their defense is inconsistent at times.  Let's not forget that while they beat the Bengals last week, Cincinnati was hanging around for most of the first half.  Indy can be beat and they are now facing a Broncos squad that is not only healthy but finished the regular season strong on all sides of the ball. The run game is hot, Manning is Manning and the Defense will be bringing a nasty pass rush that put Luck on the turf several times in week one. The season ends for the Colts in Denver. WINNER - DENVER
