Wild Card Predictions

Yes, its that time of the year, the NFL Playoffs kick off this weekend and where who would I be if I didn't put in my 2 cents. So what makes me qualified? Well, let's see, I am about 58% right on my picks throughout the season. So here I go.

Game 1 Kansas City at Indianapolis. Everyone is talking about how KC is going to upset Indy. Larry Johnson will run all over the Colts Running Defense. Well, that's not gonna happen. Indy wins and wins big. Infact, Larry Johnson is a non-factor in this game. By the time he gets his 130 yards of rushing, the Colts will already be up by 4 touchdowns. Peyton Manning will throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs. Joseph Addai will run for 100 and the Colts Defense will surprise EVERYONE but yours truly. Final Score: Colts 48 - Cheifs 24

Game 2 Cowboys at Seattle. I have been saying since Tony Roma took over as QB he is still a first year QB and has some growing pains. He has no line blocking for him and his running game isn't consistant enough. Mix in their TO drops over a pass per game and usually in a crucial situation. Seattle has been God Awful this year. The only reason they won the NFC West is because the Rams and 49ers couldn't beat win a big game. Shawn Alexaner is poised to have a big game. Matt Hasselbeck hasn't been what he was last season. The Seattle Secondary is all beat up. Something has to give. Dallas is on the road in one of the toughest places to play. It's loud and cold and usually wet, can Seattle take advantage? This will come down to the Running Game. Who can stop the other teams Rushing? I think Marion Barber and Julius Jones have huge games both rushing for over 160 yards. Score: Dallas 21 - Seattle 10

Game 3 - NY Jets at New England. Don't bet against the Patriots in the playoffs. Especially against a team that is a division rival that embarrassed them at home a month or so earlier. Oh by the way, the Jets coach was a former New England Assistant, who tried to recruit Patriots on his way out the door last season. Tom Brady will have a HUGE game. Score: New England 27 - NY Jets 9

Game 4 - NY Giants at Philadelphia. This most interesting game of the weekend. In the beginning of the season, when all of the talking heads said Washington and Dallas are the teams to beat in the NFC East, I questioned them? The Giants, despite lousy coaching, are a solid playoff team and Philly is better than the teams that went to the first 3 NFC Championship games (pre-TO) I predicted McNabb the MVP and huge seasons for Shockey and TIKI. I was kinda right, when the Giants are healthy, they are a solid team and The Eagles are playing near perfect football to close out the season. I predicted the Eagles would lose the last 5 games this season and I was wrong each time. Score: NY Giants 21 - Philadelphia 16 (Let's hope for 6 in a row)
