Wild Card Weekend

Boy this blog has really gone downhill hasn't it? Just boring predictions of NFL games that everybody else picks? Well, I need to keep record of this predictions. For the record, I will stick with my Super Bowl prediction of the Chargers/Saints.

Cinci/J-E-T-S: It's hard to like the Bengals in this game after watching them get humiliated last week in New York. Pros for the Jets; they've won 3 straight, had good luck in facing the 2nd teamers of the Colts and Bengals, and they have a shut down corner in Darelle Revis who can take out any receiver in the game. Cons; Mark Sanchez is the quarterback. I see a lot of last year's Atlanta/Arizona game in this game. Hot team w/rookie QB comes on the road (Matt Ryan, ATL) against struggling overachieving team (Arizona). Remember what happened? Arizona started their run in the playoffs. I like the Bengals by a field goal.
20-17 Bengals.

Dallas/Philly: I've been high on the Dallas bandwagon since the middle of the year. This year they win a playoff game, maybe two depending on who they play. If DeMarcus Ware doesn't play, this pick is voided and Philly wins.

Dallas 27-23.

Baltimore/New England; I have no clue on this one. I loved the Ravens last year in the playoffs, picked them to beat the Titans last year. But I like New England this year. Brady hasn't lost a home game since 2006. That's good enough for me, even if Wes Welker is out.

Pats 20-12.

Packers/Cardinals; I don't believe the Cardinals have the magic this year. I do think the Packers do. Rodgers will get all the headlines, but whe the Packers D has been able to pressure QB's, they win. Warner gets hit a lot in this one, and there is at least one defensive TD for the Packers.

Cheeseheads, 30-23
