as the title of the thread says Robert Jensen of Dallas Cowboys fame will pick the Division Round winners
As it stands now the Division games are :
American Conference
Miami Dolphins at Denver Broncos
Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots
National Conference
Carolina Panthers at Washington Redskins
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears
With that out of the way lets see if they have played each other before or not.
Carolina Panthers didn't face Washington Redskins at all during the season.
Denver Broncos didn't face Miami Dolphins at all during the season.
Pittsburgh Steelers faced New England Patriots in the 11th week of the season
here is that game =

Now for the picks
reporter = knowing you picked 3 of the right winners do you think you will pick 3 of the right winners again or all 4 this time??
Jensen = I am very surprised that I got Carolina Panthers , Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers right to win their games though didn't get any of the scores right. Do have to say I am disappointed in New Jersey Jets I am upset about that game I might just have to leave Dallas Cowboys for the that team and see if I can do better than the head coach who they have because really they should have won that game so I could have been perfect. anyway my hope is that I am right in all 4 picks this time around.
reporter = lets start with Pittsburgh Steelers against New England Patriots who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I would have to with New England Patriots in that they have the highest scoring team in the whole league and I really don't see Pittsburgh Steelers pulling another upset . I would say the game will be 72 New England - 0 Pittsburgh.
Only way I see Pittsburgh pulling the upset is their defense comes to play to keep New England out of the end zone or at least keep the game close so their offense can pull that upset with a score at the end of the game.
reporter = now lets go to Tampa Bay Buccaneers against Chicago Bears who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I would say Tampa Bay buccaneers will win this time though they did lose by 14 points in their previous game against the Chicago Bears. I say this because really Tampa Bay has scored more points and giving up fewer points than Chicago .
Should be like 20-10 like Tampa Bay's last game in the wildcard round.
Only way I could see the Chicago Bears winning this game is if they injure both QBS Tampa Bay has forcing them to use like a Kicker or Punter as QB and where the bears defense would have a field day picking off passes .
reporter = now lets go to Denver Broncos against Miami Dolphins who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I would have to pick Denver Broncos in this game because they have scored more points and giving up fewer points than Miami Dolphins which is a disaster waiting to happen for Miami .
Game will be like 30-0.
Only way I could see Miami pulling the upset is if Denver forgets to come to play the game and gives a forfeit to Miami or that Miami's defense plays the best game of it's season against Denver to the point the Miami offense is able to score some points on that defense of Denver's and actually win the game.
reporter = now lets go to Carolina Panthers against Washington Redskins who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I will have to go with a upset pick here in that Carolina wins this game 26 to 25 over Washington because Washington comes up lame and thinks that they can just walk into their stadium and beat Carolina very easily. When you think you can just do that that just opens up a chance to get upset .
Only way I could see Washington actually winning this game is they kidnap all the referees that are suppose to referee their contest and bring in fake referees so every call goes their way or they pay off the referees to make sure every call goes their way.
Reporter = So here is those picks again in case someone missed Robert Jensen's picks
Carolina 26 - 25 Washington
Denver 30 - 0 Miami
New England 72 - 0 Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay 20 - 10 Chicago
Reporter = a quick question Robert Jensen before we go would you seriously take that New jersey Jets head coaching job and why would you ??
Jensen = yes I am serious about that coaching job and the reason I would is because really that New Jersey Jets needs a coach like me who can finish the job if you will....... You just cant lose like that especially when you have the 2nd highest scoring offense because really you don't get that many chances to really make some noise if you will in the playoffs and really I would have to imagine it would really hurt if Pittsburgh somehow someway makes it to the Super Bowl and actually wins it because really then they would be kicking themselves and I would have to imagine that that WHOLE coaching staff would be fired for dropping the ball like that when they were so close to winning that game and maybe the whole thing if Pittsburgh were to win the whole thing.
