RB Peyton Hillis - With absolutely ZERO threat of a passing game, it will appear to Hillis as if he’s running into a wall on Sunday. The Steelers will keep eight men in the box at all times and continuously blow up plays in the backfield. Look for a total of 50 yards tops and no TDs.
WR Calvin Johnson - He’s a little banged up and the Giants are defending the pass very well. Look for the revamped Giants D to put pressure on QB Shaun Hill and limit the big plays which Johnson can break at any time. He’ll likely finish with 50-60 yards and will be kept out of the end zone.
TE Zach Miller - The Raiders primary receiving threat will find the going tough in San Francisco. LB Patrick Willis is one of the best in the businesses covering opposing TEs and the middle of the field is one of the toughest places to throw on the 49ers.
D/ST – New England Patriots - The Ravens whipped the Patriots in New England in the 2009 Wild Card game and are poised for another strong offensive effort on Sunday. Look for RB Ray Rice to gash the defense all afternoon and for Joe Flacco and Co. to find a great deal success through the air. Baltimore could put up 30 in this one.
