Wild Card Weekend

This weekend features some pretty good NFL football.  Here are my picks and explanations... tell me what you think.

Jets v Colts

Once again Rex Ryan could not keep his mouth shut, going out on a limb and proclaiming his Jets to be the best team in the league.  Cool, Rex.  Peyton Manning will continue to let his play do the talking.  Manning and the Colts have only lost once to Ryan, and I don't see them losing tomorrow.


Bottom Line: Colts win by 7



Ravens v Chiefs

Todd Haley is going to need  a flawless performance from Matt Cassel if the Chiefs want to keep this one close.  Baltimore is nasty, and arguably one of the best wild card teams that the NFL has seen in a while.

Bottom Line: Ravens win by 10



Saints v Seahawks

Everyone is handing this game to New Orleans.  I think Seattle is going to put up a fight.  They play in one the loudest stadiums in the NFL, and Matt Hasselback carved up the New Orleans D earlier this year.  My gut goes with the Saints, but don't be surprised if Seattle steals this game.

Bottom Line: Saints win by 3



Packers v Eagles

I gotta go with Aaron Rodgers.  Michael Vick says his thigh is 100%, but even a healthy Vick hasn't proved that he can perform well while being blitzed.  Look for the Packers defense to blitz the heck out of Philly, and Aaron Rodgers will have a huge game.

Bottom Line: Packers win by 6
