AFC Wildcard#6 Ravens @ #3 Patriots- Patriots have shown that they can still be a top contender in the NFL. However, I believe that the loss of Wes Welker is bigger than anyone thinks and Baltimore capitalizes on this defensively.
Still a great game, Ravens win 24-17.
#5 Jets @ #4 Bengals- Yes, the Jets blew out the Bengals in Week 17. However, the Bengals are the better team and I will not pick a team with an interception-happy, rookie quarterback. Bengals win 17-14.
NFC Wildcard#6 Eagles @ #3 Cowboys- Eagles were defeated last week TRYING. Cowboys are real hot coming into the playoffs. Football is a mental game as well and the Eagles dropped from a possible #2 seed (with a bye) to the lowest NFC seed. Cowboys are home and finally get a playoff win, 28-17.
#5 Packers @ #4 Cardinals- Packers put it on the Cardinals in Week 17 and the Cardinals didn't try...blah blah blah. Newsflash, Packers are a better team and are hot going into the playoffs. This will be an explosive game, Packers come out on top 28-14.
AFC Divisional Round#6 Ravens @ #1 Colts- Colts decided to sit their starters in Week 16's game and again in Week 17. Will this lead to a Colts loss? Err, no. Colts are too good of a team right now and the fans will be thankful for the decision...at least for this game. Colts win 31-17.
#4 Bengals @ #2 Chargers- "Where the hell did the Chargers come from?" <<--quote from a friend. Chargers started poorly but showed they are a great and very explosive team. Rivers is a top quarterback surrounded by weapons. Chargers take this easily, 24-10.
NFC Divisional Round#5 Packers @ #1 Saints- Great game all around but the Saints entered the playoffs on a true downfall, mental game comes into play and the folks of New Orleans will be screaming WHO DAT?!? (or whatever they yell) when the Pack come into the picture. Understand, I think the Packers have a great offense but the defense will have offenses heads rolling. Packers win a close game 28-24.
#3 Cowboys @ #2 Vikings- Domers. Hard-fought, defensive battle with the Vikings....losing. Cowboys will be hungry and Favre will finally meet his late season woes. Cowboys win 21-10.
AFC Championship#2 San Diego Chargers @ #1 Indianapolis Colts- I can care less for either team and unfortunately, they are both amazing/unstoppable at the moment. Interesting match-ups on both sides of the ball but the Chargers prevail over the Colts....Colts fans cry with Peyton. 24-17.
NFC Championship#5 Green Bay Packers @ #3 Dallas Cowboys- Rematch. Two hot teams with big weapons on both sides of the ball. Green Bay has more weapons and a better quarterback. Packers win in a close one 21-14.
Super Bowl XLIVGreen Bay Packers vs San Diego Chargers- OF COURSE I PICK THE PACKERS. I would be shunned if I didn't (just kidding, but seriously). Here it is, two very hot teams rolling into the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers said it perfectly with his touchdown celebration against the Cardinals last week. Packers are bringing home the title.
Packers-31
Chargers-21
Zombie- Yes, one game at a time.
