Denver has appreciated some success this year and a ton of press buzz around quarterback Tim Tebow after he took over the starting position with the departure of Kyle Orton. His play along with their sound defense has kept them in competition in many matches this year and they were able to find some exciting comeback victories.

Tebow will need to have confidence and remain calm under stress to progress in the playoffs and maybe cement himself as the team quarterback for the Broncos. Former Broncos quarterback and current VP of operations John Elway has provided Tim Tebow some words of encouragement for the forthcoming game. It will likely be very tricky to turn it around against the sound defense of the Pittsburgh steelers if the Broncos find themselves falling behind early in this playoff match up. Both squads will depend on their defense to keep themselves in the game and offer their offense an opportunity to step up and perform. Pittsburgh steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has done well this year and wants to continue that success in the 1st round of the playoffs. As Rashard Mendenhall is looking after a knee injury, also watch for running back Isaac Redman to improve.

Tthe Pittsburgh steelers are slated as eight point favorites to progress in the playoffs, likely because he Broncos aren’t going to have an effortless time against the juggernaut Pittsburgh steelers. The over/under on overall points in this match is 35.5.

After finishing with the top record in the league a year ago, and getting sacked in the 1st round by the Packers, the Falcons trust that slipping into the playoffs undetected in 2012 will grant them greater results. Atlanta ended 10-6 this season, earning them a 1st round wild-card competition with the NFC East winning New york giants (9-7).

For the Jan 8 – Falcons vs Giants game, however, New York appears to have the traction proceeding into the playoffs. Oddsmakers have recognized this, and made New York a 3-point favorite. This is perhaps a shocking position for a team that lost 4 games consecutively in November-December. The Giants had to depend on colossal errors by their division foe Cowboys to grant them an opportunity to arrive at the playoffs. A win over Dallas in week 17 guaranteed them the division title.

New York competitors could state that their losing streak this season came when starting running back Ahmad Bradshaw was wounded. Which is a valid argument, as three of 4 losses in that streak came while Bradshaw was on the sideline. Now that he is back the Giants have appeared as if a changed team, winning 2 must-win games consecutively over tough contest (Jets and Dallas).

Atlanta won three of their last 4 games arriving into the playoffs, but Atlanta has struggled all season against winning squads. Atlanta is only 2-4 against squads that ended over .500. Only 2 weeks ago, they were blown out by the New orleans saints, 45-16.

Both squads are led by quality quarterbacks, the Giants by Eli Manning and the Falcons by Matt Ryan. The difference in this match, however, may be in qb stress. The Giants defensive line can get to the qb, and registered 48 sacks this year, excellent for 3rd in the league. The game will be decided by how well Matt Ryan and the Falcons offensive line can face up to the stress of the Giants’ defensive front.

Perhaps the Lions just are unlucky when it comes to scheduling. 1st, they end their regular season against their division rival Green Bay Packers, who furthermore possess the league’s greatest record. They then follow that up by getting the New orleans saints in the 1st round of the playoffs.

The Jan 7 – Lions vs Saints game will be the 2nd meeting of the two squads this year. New Orleans won the 1st match in New Orleans 31-17. New Orleans is a 10.5 point fave to defeat Detroit this week, and this is maybe part of the reason.

Another is that New Orleans is on a roll. They’ve won eight matches consecutively coming into this week’s meeting with Detroit, beating three other playoff squads in the course of that stretch. After kicking an rival player with his cleats, defensive star Ndamukong Suh was suspended for two matches, but Detroit managed to pull things together. Only losing a tight game to 15-1 Green Bay, they won 3 from their last 4 matches of the year. When they last faced New Orleans, they were devoid of Suh, and Detroit is hoping the return of his existence to the defensive line is the change they need to stop Drew Brees and the powerful New Orleans offense.

Sadly for Detroit, that New Orleans offense has been amazing for the 2nd half of the year. They’ve won over 40 points in their last three matches, and gone over 40 in four of their last six. A while back this year in New Orleans they tumbled 62 points on Indianapolis, plus they are 8-0 in their home stadium this year.

Detroit has struggled this year against higher powered competition, going 1-5 against playoff squads (just beating Denver). Their offense has the opportunity to be high-flying, and therefore it will likely be up to their defense to ensure they are in this game. If Suh will make amends for his two-game suspension, this is the time.

The Cincinnati Bengals will be competing against the Houston Texans in pro football playoffs. The Bengals will travel to Reliant Stadium in Houston for the game. Cincinnati finished their season with a record of 9-7 and arrived at the playoffs this season as a wild card in the AFC North division. Houston finished with a record of 10-6 and came out ahead as the top squad in the AFC South this season.

With the Houston Texans having considerable injuries to qbs Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart and the Cincinnati Bengals losing each and every game against playoff caliber squads, both squads have still had their fair share of struggles this season. Both qbs were lost for the season with their injuries and rookie T.J. Yates has gotten control. Houston has furthermore viewed big injuries to linebacker Mario Williams and also wide receiver Andre Johnson. The 2 squads have already faced each other during the regular season and the Houston Texans made a last effort comeback try with a match winning td pass caught by wide receiver Kevin Walters with mere seconds left on the clock.

College football odds

The Bengals impressive run game with running backs Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott has been what’s worked for them this year, so they’re going to have to try and stick with that. If they’re able to accomplish this they might have the edge and at last defeat a playoff squad and move forward past the first round for the first time in just over twenty years.

This may come down to the wire yet again as it’s going to be a close one. The Houston Texans are slight faves even with several injuries to many important star competitors. The over/under for total in total points for this particular game is 38. The line is established with the Houston Texans as 3 point faves at their home field to the underdog Bengals.
