Wildcard:
Jets vs. Bengals- Rodney Harrison: "The Bengals are a fraud". The Sergeant Majors (Jets) had their way with the Bengals like a really bad Girls Gone Wild video. Jets 31-13
Ravens vs. Patriots- The Patriots will be ready for this one. Patriots 28-24
Eagles vs. Cowboys- The Cowboys will get over their hump, otherwise Jerry Jones should get the Vest to replace Wade Phillips. Cowboys 23-21
Packers vs. Cardinals- The Packers are the best wildcard team that I've seen since the 2005 P***burgh Squealers. Packers 38-17Divisional:
Jets vs. Colts- The Colts are screwed. Jets 24-21 (OT)
Patriots vs. Chargers- San Diego SUPER CHARGERS! San Diego Super Chargers 28-20
Cowboys vs. Vikings- Life begins at 40, especially if you are the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Vikes 31-21
Packers vs. Saints- Tic tac toe, FOUR in a row, the Saints have been called the AIN'TS, because they AIN'T never won in clutchtime. Packers 34-20Conference Championships:
Jets @ Chargers- The only reason why I won't say Jets is because the Chargers are as John Travolta said "It's electrifying". San Diego Super Chargers 41-20
Packers @ Vikings- Teams that sweep division opponents in the regular season usually do so in the playoffs (i.e. the Squealers with BOTH the Clowns & the Browns/Ravens)- Vikings 30-23Super Bowl XLIV:
Chargers vs. Vikings- the last time (the city of) San Diego had a Championship, the Beatles had yet to come to America, JFK had just been assassinated, and Ohio State beat Michigan for the 4th year in a row....the bleeding continues for America's favorite bordertownSuper Bowl Champs: The fifth time will indeed be the charm for the Minnesota Vikings

what are yours??Not possible now, because the Eagles would be playing the Saints in the 2nd Round if they win this week, because Dallas won the NFC East.

The Bengals aren't a fraud. They proved that when they swept their division and they didn't play the Jets aggressively to close out the season. They didn't sit everybody, but they didn't go after it either. The Jets are toast. The Bengals will score enough to force the Jets to rely on Sanchez to win the game and he'll get rattled under the pressure.
I see Baltimore beating New England handily with Welker out.
It's hard to pick agains the Colts. They could come out flat, but I think the criticism over the way they opted to cost through 2.5 games will fuel a rampage in the playoffs. They have homefield advantage and play lights out in that dome. They'll make short work of the AFC, probably facing San Diego in to advance.
New Orelans peaked too early and sputtered down the stretch. They're post season toast. Minnesota is dangerous, but Brett Favre has thrown away playoff games with poor decision making since 1997. I see Minnesota losing to whomever they play because Favre will throw three critical ints and then he'll start his retirement dance. I predict a press conference on Super Bowl Sunday, because that's how he is.
Green Bay has the most momentum going into the playoffs. They struggled in the middle of the season, but made adjustments and have drawn a bead on the Super Bowl. I see the Packers playing the Colts for all the marbles.

NFC Vikings/Saints
AFC Colts/Chargers
Superbowl Colts/Vikings
Colts
Pretty generic, I know. I've wanted to see a Colts/Vikings in the SB matchup since I was about 6 years old.

The pass rush will again be too much for the OL and Palmer to handle, so they will forced to run (certainly not a bad thing in their case).
Caldwell and Coles will be the key receivers, Revis will shut down Ochocinco again, and Brian Leonard will save the day.
24-23, Bengals over Jets.

Henry didnt amount to much this year before his injury anyway. Benson needs to step back into the role he played the first half of the season. I would like to see LJ get some touches too, keep them both fresh! that will, in turn, help your O line. It'll keep them on their toes too.
as for Palmer, he's fine, just needs some receivers that arent afraid to get hit once they catch the ball...
Maualuga was a MAJOR loss, IMO.

I think they're REALLY missing TJI would agree with that, but they only made the playoffs once with him. He leaves and they make the playoffs. Weird. I know that the D wasn't as good in the past, but it does make you wonder if he wasn't a bit of a locker room pest. He is in Seattle, and look at the season they had.

AFC Wildcard Round:
A lot of analysts are still fawning over the Patriots as if they still have Rodney Harrison and Teddy Bruschi leading the defense. Well, they don't, and losing Wes Welker might be the most devastating injury of all of the playoff teams. The Patriots could survive his loss if they still had a dominant defense, but that is no longer the case. Ray Rice will run wild in this one.
Ravens 31, Patriots 24
The Bengals did well to not show their hand in the final regular season game against the Jets, but in doing so, gave the Jets a lot of confidence. Either way, this one is going to be a snoozer. Sanchez will not catch lightning in a bottle twice -- Hall and Joseph will pick him off at least twice. Ochocinco will catch a TD pass early and the Bengals will pound the rock the rest of the game.
Bengals 17, Jets 13
NFC Wildcard Round:
The Eagles are always dangerous in the playoffs as long as Donovan McNabb is under center. However, the Cowboys are on fire, and it is unlikely that they will lose at home a week after destroying the Eagles in a meaningful game. The Cowboys are too talented to not break their playoff losing streak eventually, and I think this is the year.
Cowboys 27, Eagles 21
Now that Aaron Rodgers isn't running for his life on every passing down, the Packers are as dangerous as any team in the playoffs. I really don't think the Cardinals are going to have an answer for him on Sunday. Anquan Boldin being injured certainly doesn't help matters.
Packers 38, Cardinals 21

AFC Divisional Round:
I will make it no secret that I am a Bengals homer, but I truly believe they have a shot against the Colts because of their ability to control the clock. However, even my bias isn't enough to confidently predict a Bengals victory. Give me the Bengals' 2005 offense with this year's defense and the Colts go down. But this year, the Colts are just a more complete team.
Colts 28, Bengals 24
The Chargers vs. the Ravens will be a great rematch. The Ravens pulled out a close one in week 2, but the Chargers are winners of 11 straight. Mark my words: this year is the year Philip Rivers becomes a hall-of-fame quarterback. Having a future hall-of-fame tight end is also a great thing to have in the playoffs, and I expect Gates to be huge in the post-season.
Chargers 27, Ravens 17
NFC Divisional Round:
Something about the Saints smells of not being built for playoff success. It's kind of hard to bet against them after the regular season they had, but I also don't see their lackluster defense stopping Aaron Rodgers and company, who will be chomping at the bit for a potential rematch with the Vikings.
Packers 35, Saints 31
The Cowboys will have the monkey off of their backs, but it won't be enough to take down the Vikings. The teams are matched up pretty evenly in most aspects of the game, but I'll take Favre in this one.
Vikings 28, Cowboys 20

AFC Championship Game:
The Bolts have beaten the Colts, what, twice recently in the playoffs? The third time won't be a charm for Peyton Manning and company. The Chargers are the best team in the NFL right now. Momentum isn't everything in the playoffs, but its importance cannot be understated either.
Chargers 23, Colts 20
NFC Championship Game:
Maybe I am predicting this match-up because I want to see it so badly. But I really do think that these might be the two best teams in the NFC right now. I have no scientific data to support my theory, but I just really have a feeling Favre isn't going to get another Super Bowl ring. After all the discord in the locker room and drama his signing has brought to the Vikings, I don't know if the solidarity is in tact to make a Super Bowl run. Plus, I really want to see Rodgers get another shot at the Vikings and carve them up on the way to the Super Bowl.
Packers 34, Vikings 31
SUPER BOWL:
As stated before, I think the Chargers are the best team in the NFL right now. That title would belong to the Vikings, but their late-season slide plus the problems between Favre and Childress have elevated the Chargers to number one. As Manning and Brady start the downside of their careers, I think Rivers and Rodgers are going to become the premier signal callers in the league. This year will be their first of possibly multiple championship showdowns, but I think the Packers' woes on the offensive line are finally going to catch up to them.
Chargers 28, Packers 17

As a huge Bengals homer, I think the Bengals are certainly capable of beating the Jets, but they almost always play close games. Save for the Jets and Minnesota, almost all of their games were very, very close this year (except for Chicago/Houston). Last week was ugly, but I'm hoping they can bounce back. Peko back on the D-line is huge, he is a big time run stuffer and he should be fresh, hasn't played a game in weeks.
And not to take anything away from Revis(he is great), but Ochocinco dropped at least 2 easy ones in that game for fairly big gains (8+ yards). I saw an interview with Bart Scott and he said the Jets were so fired up to play that game Sunday that they would of beaten anyone.
Anyways, I'm hoping for at the least a very competitive, close game.
The Super Bowl prediction is hard. I think the best teams in the NFC are not obvious at all. I'm going to say that the Vikings get it together and make the Superbowl, but then lose a close game to the Colts.

Packers/Vikings for the NFC would be awesome.i would love to see Favre get chased around by the Packers' defense.
I'm an Eagles fan,so i'm a little biased.but now i am a little disgusted after that crap game against Dallas.
this time when they play Dallas,bench McNabb.put Vick in as QB and run for his life.it would be a more entertaining game.Posted 2 years ago # -

The Jets kicked the CRAP out of us.
I think you are underestimating their Defense and Thomas Jones.
