Wild Card Weekend Matchups

[ajbry]

Saturday, Jan. 8
4:30 p.m. on ABC
St. Louis at Seattle - Should be a decent game, both teams should score around 20 - 30 points each. Advantage goes to the 'Hawks because they're at home, and their secondary is solid.

8:00 p.m. on ABC
N.Y. Jets at San Diego - Easy to predict the winner of this one, most likely the Bolts. Playing on their hometurf and every player is doing well [even Flutie and Rivers].

Sunday, Jan. 9
1:00 p.m. on CBS
Denver at Indianapolis - If Plummer plays well and avoids turnovers, Rod Smith and Askley Lelie may win the game for the Broncos against a lame Colts defensive backfield. Champ Bailey will need to step up and show why he's the best corner in the game, and contain the Colts receivers.

4:30 p.m. on FOX
Minnesota at Green Bay - The Vikings don't deserve to be in the postseason, but the Packers do. The Frozen Tundra should be too much for the skittish and pathetic Vikes. Do I see another choke in the future?

There is a contest in the contest forum for the playoffs, go play.

Saturday, Jan. 8
4:30 p.m. on ABC
St. Louis at Seattle - This will be an error plaqued game with penalties galore. St Louis will win though
8:00 p.m. on ABC
N.Y. Jets at San Diego - The Jets backed into the playoffs and shouldn't be there.

Sunday, Jan. 9
1:00 p.m. on CBS
Denver at Indianapolis - Plummer throws three interceptions and is sacked twice.
4:30 p.m. on FOX
Minnesota at Green Bay - Favre looks sharp and the Vikings look like they should be playing two hand touch football.

As a Packer fan of sorts since I live so close to Green Bay

they lose to the pitiful vikes, they wont be able to stop Robinson and burleson.
What happened to their running game?? They have three decent backs

vikes didn't choke, 4 games lost on last second field goals. Our best player out for a long stretch of games. With one or two defensive players( cough antwan rolle/derrick johnson cough) this team would be deadly. Kevin williams and the Dline are starting to come into their own but our linebackers and secondary really blow.


Predection- Farve throws 2 ints. Culpepper 4 tds ( 3 passing 1 rushing) Vikes win 31 21

what happen is we scored so **** quick on the packers that our crappy defensive players played for over 3/4 the game.

I mean we had two possesion where we got tds on passes on the first play. Why run the ball with the packers secondary is as terrible as ours.

also anyone that picks the Broncos over the colts please pass whatever your smoking

 

[THEFRANCHISE3]

actually i heard the browns are looking at taking rolle with their pick( trading down a few spots) However i don't consider it choking i consider it losing tough games

3 of those loses were against playoff teams that are expected to go far( packers twice,and the colts)

St. Louis at Seattle - Seattle should be able to beat this indoor team.

N.Y. Jets at San Diego - Chargers rested and ready to take the next step.

Denver at Indianapolis - Indy too much for Denver.

Minnesota at Green Bay - Another dome team loss in the cold....will be interesting though!

I've got these on my casino tickets:

St. Louis +4 - Upset special. Have the mental edge on Seattle after the come back early in the season

San Diego -6.5 - Chargers should blow them out. Lots of LT.

Colts -10 - This was a toss up, but I think Peyton will have another big early Playoff win.

Vikings +6 - Pack may win, but I'm hopin' it's under a TD.

My Picks:

Seattle- This one could go either way, but Ill go with the Seahawks.

San Diego- Complete team and shouldn't have a tough time stopping the Jets offense.

Colts- Manning and company are just too much for the Broncos. But, the Colts won't get past the Pats in the next round.

Packers- Simple, home field advantage for Green Bay is a HUGE advantage. The Vikings are terrible outdoors and not only that they are going to Green Bay for a playoff game.
