NFL Playoff Predictions (Wild Card Weekend)

Much easier than picking all the college bowl games, less picks to manage.

AFC

#5 New York Jets (9-7) vs. #4 Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
January 9th at 3:30PM
Pick: Cincinnati
Comments: Two good defensive teams. Picking the Bengals with the better record and at home.

#6 Baltimore Ravens (9-7) vs. #3 New England Patriots (10-6)
January 10th at noon
Pick: New England
Comments: Looks to be a great match up on paper. I have to go with the Pats though. They are 8-0 at home this season.

NFC

#6 Philadelphia Eagles (11-5) vs. #3 Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
January 9th at 7PM
Pick: Dallas
Comments: Speaking as a Dallas fan, I hate that the Cowboys are playing the Eagles for the second week in a row and for the third time this season. The same scenario played out the same way for Dallas a couple of seasons ago against the New York Giants. The Giants won the third meeting at Dallas. Statically speaking, Dallas leads most major categories against the Eagles. I really hope Dallas can avoid setting an NFL record for most consecutive post-season losses.

#5 Green Bay Packers (11-5) vs. #4 Arizona Cardinals (10-6)
January 10th at 3:30PM
Pick: Arizona
Comments: Toughest pick of the group. Green Bay should be the favorite, statically they are the better all around team and they have a better record. Something just tells me that Arizona is going to get their act together and play well at home this weekend.

Current record 0-0
Agree? Disagree? Let me know.
