I got one thing wrong: I didn't foresee that the Saints' defense would look more or less like the Oregon Ducks. Otherwise, I pretty much nailed every game. Yay me! Next week: Ravens at Steelers: The matchup everyone wanted to see. I kinda think the Ravens are the better team, and the Steelers have not been untouchable at home. Also, the Ravens have the kind of team that can win in any environment. So Ravens in a close one. Packers at Falcons: The winner of this one goes to the Super Bowl. As much as I like the Packers, the Falcons are probably the most solid team in the NFC, and the extra week of rest usually helps. So Falcons in another close one. Seahawks at Bears: I don't think Marshawn Lynch is going to be breaking seven tackles against the Bears' defense. Bears. Jets at Patriots: Fuck. I wanted the path to be Chiefs-Steelers-Patriots, not Colts-Patriots. I may have said this before: the Jets are more talented up and down the roster, but the Patriots have a certain motherfucker named Tom Brady, and his advantage over Mark Sanchez outweighs the Jets' advantage at almost every other position. Patriots. quote:
ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster My first-round predictions... Saints at Seahawks: It's a travesty that the Seahawks are in the playoffs, let alone that they're hosting a playoff game. The NFL has to do something about this. There were plenty of 10-6 teams that would have loved to be there. Anyway, Saints. Jets at Colts: This is NOT the matchup I wanted in the Wild-Card round, but hell, I'll still go with my Jets. Ravens at Chiefs: This one is pretty lopsided. Ravens (especially if they decide to run the ball). Packers at Eagles: Tough, tough game. Both teams deserved a little better than this in their opening round. I have to say I think the Packers are the best team in the NFC, so I'm picking the Packers.
