Gridiron Experts NFL Playoff Predictions
Atlanta Falcons-2.5 at Arizona Cardinals (51 O/U)
atl111Arizona is a one dimensional team that can’t run the ball. The lack of balance will ruin any type of a playoff run, as defensive coordinators will zero in on their passing attack with unique zones to create turnovers. Unless the Cardinals can get a huge lead early on, I see the Falcons dominating this game. Atlanta may have a rookie at quarterback, but Matt Ryan plays like a veteran. Add in a lethal running back and a great defense, and the first playoff game of the weekend should be over by the 3rd quarter. Atlanta 28-17

Indianapolis Colts-1 at San Diego Chargers (52.5)
ind111The Colts have had a very quiet season, going 12-4 without many prime time games; people might be underestimating this team’s potential. Peyton Manning is having another stellar season and should pick apart the Chargers defense. The Chargers are on a hot streak, but with LT and Gates banged up, the only real advantage for San Diego is home field advantage. This should be the best game of the weekend; we see the Colts pulling away in the fourth in a shootout.
Indianapolis 31-27

Baltimore Ravens-3 at Miami Dolphins (37.5)
bal111Defensive battle or turnover nightmare? Both defenses have the ability to control this game from the opening snap with Pro Bowl players on both sides making it difficult to move the ball. Miami may use the Wildcat formation more than usual to keep the Ravens guessing, but in the end we think it’ll be the Ravens passing game that could catch the Dolphins by surprise. Baltimore 20-17

Philadelphia Eagles-3 at Minnesota Vikings (41.5)
phi111The Vikings will need a big day from their offense, as Jim Johnson’s defense is probably the hottest unit heading into the playoffs. After destroying their rival the Dallas Cowboys last week, the Eagles have a lot of confidence heading into Minnesota. Donovan McNabb has a chance to rack up some big passing yards in a dome against a sub par passing defense.
Philadelphia 27-20

Happy New Year!

 Gridiron Experts Early 30 Fantasy Forecast

Here at Grid-X, we not only give out our rankings, we also show you how we reached our decisions on how to grade each player. The following is a brief description on each of the categories we used to rank these players on a scale of 0-3:

  1. O-Line: No Rb can have a big season with a bad o-line
  2. Carries: Does anyone steal carries or is it a one man show
  3. Goal Line: TD’s on watching from the sidelines
  4. Receiving Yards: Multi threat or one dimensional
  5. Game Breaker: History of big fantasy games.
  6. Injuries: Any nagging injuries or history of getting hurt
  7. X-Factor: Division / Strength of Schedule / Contract year
