THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE - Divisional Weekend
Sunday, Jan. 14
Seattle at Bears 1 :00 pmThe Bears are trying to repeat what the Seahawks did last year, riding the NFC's No. 1 seed all the way to the Super Bowl. But the uneven play of quarterback Rex Grossman and numerous injuries on the NFL's fifth-ranked defense has caused concern in the Windy City. The Seahawks edged Dallas at home in the wild-card round and are looking to recapture their form from last year's postseason run after an up-and-down season. One of Seattle's lowest points was a 37-6 loss at the hands of the Bears in Week 4. "Obviously, that was probably the worst we have played as a team this year -- and for sure me," Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said.
Seattle Record 10-7 Bears Record 13-3 PICK TO WIN: Bears 21-10
Patriots at Chargers 4:30 pmSo what do the Chargers get as a reward for winning their final 10 games of the season and earning the AFC's No. 1 seed? A date with the Patriots, who boast a coach (Bill Belichick) and quarterback (Tom Brady) that together are 11-1 in the playoffs. San Diego doesn't have nearly as much experience at quarterback, where Philip Rivers will be making his first postseason start. But the Chargers do have LaDainian Tomlinson, the league's MVP who set an NFL record with 31 touchdowns. New England is in the divisional playoffs for the fourth straight year after putting away the Jets in a wild-card game.
Patriots Record 13-4 Chargers Record 14-2 PICK TO WIN: Chargers 35-10
