Jets-Packers, really because that's who I picked at the beginning of the season and think it would be sweet if 2 six seeds pulled it off.
Jets are the most overrated team in the playoffs. They may get past the Colts, but I don't see them making much noise. I think we'll get either Pats/Saints of Pats/Falcons.

How are they overrated? No one is picking them to win it all and maybe a small majority is picking them over the Colts. I think you guys see the words New York in front of a team's name and automatically think they are overrated. I think the overrated thing is in all you haters' minds. Show me one publication that is picking them? Hell even Vegas has them at the 3rd worst odds.

No kidding, when everyone says your "overrated" you are no longer "overrated".
The Colts @ 1-18 to win the superbowl with an opening game at home? That's awfully tempting.
2nd Round in the AFC could produce two incredible matchups with Indy @ Pittsburgh (Chance for revenge from that 96 Harbaugh hail mary) and then Baltimore @ New England. Granted the Pats had one hell of a 2nd half but the first Ravens/Patriots game was classic.
Colts edge out the Jets 24-20. Jets D is able to keep it close, but the Colts are able to hold the Jets run game in check enough and Sanchez isn't quite ready to upstage Peyton Manning.
Ravens win big time over the Chiefs. Much like when they exposed Miami a couple years ago in the playoffs, same happens here. Ravens in a cake walk, 30-3, and this one is 27-0 at the half. My Chiefs are much improved, but they're still not a true playoff calibre team. They took advantage of an easy schedule, but there is still plenty of work for Pioli and Haley to do.
Packers beat the Eagles 35-24. Capers can game plan for Vick, and he's got enough play makers healthy to slow down the Eagles. Whereas Philly's defence won't have the answers for Rogers and the Packers offensive attack. Although it's really a closer game as a later defensive TD spreads the gap.
Saints walk over the Seahawks 31-14. Seahawks are good in close games, but when they get beat they get beat bad. Experienced QB's with any sort of weapons on the outside can pick up Seattles pressure's and take advantage of man to man matchups. Plus the inside 3 on the Saints line is going to beat up on the Seahawks and let the Saints run the ball.
Like most years...2 decent games, and 2 that won't be worth your time unless you're a Ravens or Saints fan.

No way the KC vs Baltimore game will be a 55 point game.

Thank you for everything CP. Good memories and thankful for everything that has been done to help me out. I will no longer take part on these boards. Take care, Go Flames Go.
I got the Colts and Ravens in the AFC, and the Saints and Eagles in the NFC. There is no team in the NFL I hate more than the Jets so I hope they lose 600-0.

Rex Ryan's reaction to Peyton Manning from last year's AFC Championship Game.
Peyton is 5-0 against Rex Ryan coached defenses. The key will be running the ball. Indy has the #1 pass offense and is in the top half in pass defense, but is near the bottom in rushing. Indy will have to get Addai some touches and limit the damage that LT and Greene do.
I'll say 27-17 Colts.
