Two games today will keep avid football fans on their couches from noon until about 8:00 p.m. here on the east coast and I'll be one of them with some food and drink within reach.
I have to cover the Temple basketball team as they take on the No. 6 ranked Kansas Jayhawks so I'm keeping it light with the picks this morning.
Lets cut to the chase.
Colts (11-5) @ Ravens (10-6)
TV: CBS
__
The 1:00 p.m. game features 2012 No. 1 overall draft pick, Andrew Luck and the Colts facing the Baltimore Ravens in B-More.
Ravens linebacker, Ray Lewis issued a statement and had a press conference this week announcing his retirement at seasons end. This could be a move to spark his club to one more memorable playoff run and I think the Ravens get it done. The Purple and Black's defense is not as good as we have seen in years past, but I never see the day where the Ravens are not a tough, gritty, smash mouth, hard hitting defense, and I think they cause problems for Andrew Luck.
With news just breaking that Colts offensive play caller and former interim head coach, Bruce Arians will not be on the sidelines today because of an illness that sent Arians to the hospital, I think the Ravens nab the W.
Prediction:
Ravens 26, Colts 21

Seahawks (11-5) @ Redskins (10-6)
TV: Fox

Who would of thought that at the start of the NFL season, we would be talking about a first round playoff matchup between the Seahawks and Redskins?
Well, we are.
Personally, this is the best game of the weekend.
The Seahawks and Redskins are two of the hottest teams in all of football and are led by two dynamic rookie quarterbacks in Russel Wilson and Robert Griffin III.
This game is going to be close and fun to watch, but I think Seattle's defense is going to be the difference in this ball game.
I see it being back and forth and this game could go in either teams favor, but Seahawks win late and move on to face the Falcons next weekend.
Prediction:
Seahawks 23, Redskins 21
