2010 NFL Playoff Predictions – Divisional Round: The Divisional round of the 2010 NFL Playoffs begins this weekend with a clash between the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints at the Superdome on Saturday.

Arizona Cardinals vs New Orleans Saints (-7): The Cardinals performance on Sunday against the Packers excited fans and 2010 NFL Playoff Predictions - Divisional Roundadded another scintillating chapter to the team's recent playoff history. However, it apparantly did nothing to convince odds makers that Arizona can get by New Orleans this weekend. Strange indeed given that the Saints come into this Divisional tilt having lost three straight games. While their defense struggled during the final three regular season outings, giving up 1205 yards, New Orleans top ranked offense is the bigger concern, having produced just 44 points in that span after averaging nearly 36 per game through the first 13.

Arizona is more than capable of covering the seven points spread here and even getting the upset win. The Cardinals, which were a 9.5 point underdog to Carolina in last year's Divisional playoff, are 10-0 against the spread and 8-2 straight up in their last 10 games as an underdog.

Baltimore Ravens vs Indianapolis Colts (-7): The Ravens looked like a juggernaut in their dispatching of the Patriots on Sunday, which has to be at least slightly worrisome to the Colts, which come into this game riding a two games losing streak. Granted, Indy pulled its starters in the loss to the Jets and did not play them against the Bills, but that kind of manuevering has adversely affected the team in the past. The Ravens also played the Colts tough in a week 11 loss at Baltimore (17-15), picking off Peyton Manning two times.

The upset is unlikely, but not out of the realm of possibility. These Ravens have been road warriors in the postseason the past couple of years, and they have to be confident after smoking New England in Foxborough. However, the Colts are 9-1 straight up (5-5 against the spread) in their last 10 games as a home favorite with a spread between 4 and 7.5.
