So playoffs get going later today.

Arizona 11-5 at Carolina 7-8-1.

Arizona has lost 4 of their last 6, while Carolina won their last 4 to get in. Arizona is down to their third string QB, which really hampered them at the end of the season. Carolina figured out how to play defence in the last quarter of the season. Tough luck for Arizona, they deserve better, but I predict they lose to the sub 500 Panthers. Carolina 20 Arizona 13.

Baltimore 10-6 at Pittsburgh 11-5

A AFC North rubbermatch that features QB's not named Manning, Brady, or Rodgers who have won Superbowls. Le'Veon Bell is a huge injury here as it likely makes the Steelers pretty one dimensional. Baltimore struggled to get into the playoffs though. I think Ben is able to find Antonio Brown enough to pull off the win. Steelers 27 Ravens 24

Cincinatti 10-5-1 at Indianapolis 11-5

Andy Daulton has taken the Bengals to the playoffs for 4 consecutive seasons. Looks like it could be 4 straight losses as AJ Green is unlikely to go. Without him the Bengal rushing attack will not be able to overcome Andrew Luck. Colts are Luck, TY Hilton, a couple decent TE's good kicking game....and a pretty mediocre group. But thats enough this week. Colts 21 Bengals 13

Detroit 11-5 at Dallas 12-4

Dallas back in the playoffs after going 8-0 on the road. Problem is that this game is at home and the league overturned Suhs suspension. Detroits offence has seemed stuck in low gear all season, while the defence carried them. Can they put together a complete game to take out a pretty solid Cowboys team?
I say yes they do. Two words...playoff Romo. Detroit 20 Dallas 17.
