Jets made the playoffs! Ahhhhh yeah! Now do I go against my inner Jet fan and actually believe that they might win next Saturday? No...no I won't. They'll lose but oh well at least they made it.

Bengals
Cowboys
Ravens
Packers

Edit: Picking the Cowboys makes my skin crawl. I hate everything about them.

Though I'll admit, I'm looking forward to the divisional round... The Saints have succeeded in making themselves the underdog again!

Love the way the seeds worked out for my Colts. Having to play the Ravens, Jets or even the Bengals works just fine for me. I don't see many scenarios where we don't see a Chargers/Colts AFC Championship.

I love the game planning in football and I have to wonder how much some of these teams held back tonight ala the Bengals and Cardinals with there game planning.

Jack Del Rio has to be one of the worst coaches in the league

That NFC looks wide open. A bunch of good teams; no great teams.

Can the Cowboys really beat the Eagles 3 times in one season? I bet no!

The AFC Wildcard match ups don't interest me in the least.

I will say

Jets go into Cincy and beat up the Bengals next week. Last time the Bengals didn't show up for their final regular season game they got obliterated the next week in the playoffs. It happens again as the Jets are probably one of the teams that matches up best against the Bengals.

Patriots even without Wes Welker will be able to sneak by the Ravens at home. Randy Moss is still a match up problem for the Ravens corners and Tom Brady will find a way to gut it out. Bellichick will take Ray Rice out of the game for the Ravens and they don't have enough at the Wide Receiver position to out duel the Pats in Foxboro.

I'll go with the Eagles to upset the Cowboys 17-14. The Eagles were off today, but next week they'll have a much better game plan and Dallas will get a touch jittery at home. It's tough to win 2 games against the same team let alone 2 in back to back weeks.

Finally I shall go with the Cardinals to come away with a 31-28 decision over the Packers. Once the Cards knew there was nothing to gain today, I think they played a total rope a dope. Although of all the games this is the one I think could go either way.

I agree with Philly06 in that all NFC playoff games should be pretty good and any of those teams has a chance to win any of those games. In the AFC we'll see a decent game when New England plays in San Deigo and than the Colts and Chargers AFC Championship might be the game of the playoffs.

Jets 28 - Bengals 23
Eagles 32 - Cowboys 17
Ravens 13 - Patriots 24
Packers 28 - Cardinals 32

So if Philly and Green Bay win we could see a Minny vs. GB next round?

Cincy - Lulled the Jets to sleep yesterday, will dominate them at home
Philly - no freaking way the Cowboys beat the Eagles back to back
Baltimore - upset alert! Just have a feeling that Flacco and company pull off a big upset. Also no Welker and Brady (iirc) has a 3 broken ribs and a finger on this throwing hand.
GB - Rodgers is a beast. Cards have looked bad down the stretch. Just cant see them beating a solid Packer team.

Seeing welker go down broke my heart. They have a pretty damn good replacement in the rookie Julian Edleman. I swear if he came out wearing number 83 most people wouldnt no the difference. Welker goes down yesterday he comes in and gets 100+ yards.

I know how silly this sounds but the loss of Welker could make this team stronger. Its been of my opinion since 2007 that Brady relys on moss and welker to much forcing throws instead of seeking the open guy. No welker and doubled Randy means more kevin faulk more lawrence Maroney and more Benjamin Watson in the offense meaning more weapons for baltimore to cover than just the big two and a better spread offense.

We shall see i say patriots win but its gonna be super hard against SD if they do.

Cowboys
Bengals
and GB
