The public address system at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh has been blasting out the Styx song "Renegade" for years to pump up the defense. So it's no surprise that our NFL Playoff correspondent, Styx guitarist James "JY" Young, is picking the black and gold to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Divisional Playoff game on Sunday.
James Young of Styx, our NFL Playoff correspondent, on the Sunday AFC Division Playoff showdown between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers:
"Jacksonville's got a tough defense and they took it tough to the Steelers earlier in the year and tons of interceptions at that point. But I think the Steelers by a touchdown."
The Steelers are favored by seven-and-a-half points.
And in Sunday's late game in the NFC, JY thinks it will be a close contest between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota.
James Young of Styx, our NFL Playoff correspondent, on the Sunday NFC Division Series match-up between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings:
"Minnesota's had the toughest defense over the last three weeks as they only allowed 15 points a game. They're never gonna shut down [Saints quarterback] Drew Brees, but I think the Vikings by a field goal."
On Saturday he's going with:
- Atlanta Falcons over the Philadelphia Eagles by a field goal in the NFC
- New England Patriots by seven points over the Tennessee Titans in the AFC
