USA Today has a wealth of statistics. Go to their home page=>sports=>NFL=>statistics.
Rather than focus too much on points scored, look at the team with the better defense. Chicago rallied from 20 points down to beat AZ, and did not score an offensive TD in the game.
Turn over margins (take aways) are a good indication as well. In about 70 % of all the games played, the team that wins the turn over battle wins the game. You want teams with a + number in this category.
The Carolina-Dallas game is a good example of a mismatch. Dallas QB Tony Romo is basically a rookie (experience wise), and plays behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. The Panthers have one of the best defensive lines in football, they have two great receivers going against a pitiful Dallas secondary, and Carolina is at home. Carolina will come at Romo fast and hard from all directions. It could get ugly in a hurry.
Keep in mind that picking games is often as much a crap shoot as anything else. A local radio station once had three of their DJ's picking along with a monkey. The monkey beat all of them.
Hope this helps!

Richard asks…
NFL Playoff Bracket pool, Do players get to re-pick?
I set up a pool with nfl playoffs including the wild card week. Now that the teams have been "re-seeded" some players do not have a pick on certain games for the week. Do I let players pick a divisional winner if they picked the correct wild card winner? Or should I make everyone pick again and use the wild card round points a bonus points. I set up the scoring as a progressive pick 'em.
1 point each correct in round 1
2
3
4 for superbowl champ

Yes, they do.
Nancy asks…
NFL playoff predictions?
What do you think will happen in this weekend games?
Ravens @ Colts: Ravens win on last second field goal, 31-28. Colt starters will be rusty. And Ray Rice is a beast. Brady turned it over, so will Peyton (not as much though, maybe 2 ints).
Cardinals @ Saints: Cardinals in a shoot out, 34-28. The Saints looked awful at the end of the season (how do you lose to the Bucs!?!?) and after least week we know Arizona can score.
Cowboys @ Minnesota: Tough game to pick, I'm going with Minnesota just because of their defense, 17-14.
Jets @ Chargers: Teams don't do well when they travel to the opposite coast. The Jets cannot contain Floyd, Gates, and Jackson. The Jets running game is awesome, but will be abanoned if they fall behind early. I don't like rookie quarterbacks under that kind of pressure (I'm a USC fan so i actually like Sanchez). The Jets defense limits the Chargers offense, but doesn't stop them. Chargers win, 28-17.
So, your picks?
