Sunday Divisional Round NFL Playoffs Picks

January 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The Divisional Round Playoffs are here and I will be sharing a very important tip for all of you bettors out there: don’t get caught in the hype.

During the 1st round of the playoffs, every team that won looked extremely impressive and are fresh in peoples minds. However, there is a reason why these teams are playing in the first round. They are not as consistent as the teams that had byes.

People often bet on emotion, and what they remember last, and that’s why people lose and the Guru wins…like yesterday, when both of my Saturday divisional round picks were correct.

You have the Jets emerging as a threat with rookie QB Mark Sanchez and the Ravens rolling right along with 2nd year QB Joe Flacco, but you also have the duds and the disappointments.

Colts Beat Browns 10-6 and Derek Anderson Likely Out for Season

Derek Anderson Injury Update: Likely out for the year

(Update 12/2: Derek Anderson has a torn MCL.  He will not need surgery, but will need 4-6 recover, so his season is officially done as expected.)

I don’t think I’m going to post a recap of the Browns 10-6 loss to the Colts. Here is all you need to know: the defense played great, held Peyton Manning and the Colts offense to 3 points, and a fumble return for a touchdown by Robert Mathis was the difference in the game.

It was the same old story for the Browns: one side of the ball played well, while the other unit failed and cost the Browns at win at home.

Oh, and another one of our quarterbacks is out. (And, for the record, if that picture to the left doesn’t sum up the Browns’ 2008 season, I don’t know what does.)

ESPN is reporting that Derek Anderson suffered what is bring called an MCL sprain late in the 4th quarter. Ken Dorsey came in for Anderson and threw three straight incompletions on the final drive of the game.

In his post-game press conference, Romeo Crennel said that Anderson did not look good coming off the field and that he is not encouraged. Something tells me that Anderson’s injury is not the only thing that has Crennel discouraged this evening.

The injury to Derek Anderson comes on the heels of Brady Quinn being declared out of the year with a injury to his index finger. Earlier this week, we posted a Top 10 list of candidates to replace Brady Quinn at QB for the Browns. Derek Anderson was #1 on the list, but can now be crossed off.

The Browns really have no choice but to turn to Ken Dorsey at QB for the final four games. Joshua Cribbs has experience as a college quarterback, and the Browns signed Cowboys cast-off RIchard Bartell last week to be the emergency QB.

Unfortunately, the injury to Derek Anderson just adds to injury to insult that had already been added to injury and more insult. It has just been one of those seasons for the Browns in which everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.

With another QB injury, the thoughts of Michael Vick playing QB for the Browns don’t seem so bad or ridiculous anymore, now do they?

I’m going to cry. 4-8. How in the hell did his happen?
