Steelers/Jets & Bears/Packers Predictions

Jets @ Steelers - Line Steelers by 3.5

         The Jets really impressed me by beating the Patriots in their own house.  This Steelers defense, though, is much better than the Patriots even though Baltimore put 24 on the board.  Polamalu had a bad night by his standards and I think this time will be different.  I just can't say I'm a believer in Mark Sanchez and Big Ben is a proven winner in crunch time.  I'll take the Steelers 27-17.  RESULT Steelers 24  Jets 19  Winner!

Bears @ Packers - Line Packers by 3.5

          Rarely do you see a home underdog in the Division Championship game, but that's what we have.  The oddsmakers have the Packers going into Soldier Field and pulling it out.  I have to say I agree with them.  The Packers offense has been explosive and the defense continues to look great.  The Bears are certainly no slouch, I just have a feeling Clay Matthews and BJ Raji have a field day against this awful offensive line and force Cutler into a few turnovers.  Gimme the Packers 31-20.  RESULT Packers 21 Bears 14  Winner!
