For the win, I like the Seahawks here. I also, for entertainment purposes, like them to cover. They seem to find ways to win at home in the postseason. That homefield is a huge advantage for them, and Hassleback has been one of the more underrated QB's this year, completing 62% and throwing 28 TD's to 12 picks. The 'Skins are playing on emotion and I think that heading to Seattle and playing in that environment is going to drain them a bit. Seattle 17, Washington 10.
Jacksonville (-3) @ Pittsburgh
Eeeeevrybody's picking the Jags in this one, for good reason. They won already at Heinz field, they have an awesome running game (second in total yards and fifth in yards per attempt), and they've got a QB who doesn't make mistakes (Garrard has 18 TD's to only 3 INT's). Nobody likes the Steelers and think they are ripe for the picking. I'm not to sure about that. Pittsburgh is at home, Polamalu will probably play, although his effectiveness might be limited, and they are going to be fired up knowing that no one is giving them a chance. I like Big Ben in the playoffs, and I like him this year. That being said... Jacksonville 27, Pittsburgh 20
Tomorrow: Sunday's Picks
