It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's time for NFL playoffs and this is the thread for playoffs discussion. Lets start this thread out with the upcoming first round Wild Card matches.
That matches are as follows with my take on who will win each one.
AFC:
Chiefs vs. Colts
Both of these teams are my AFC favorites. Trent Green and Peyton Manning are two of my favorite quarterbacks, but the terrible rush defense of the Colts is going to bite them in the ass once again as Larry Johnson will run them down. The KC Chiefs are my pick for this match.
Jets vs. Patriots
I pick a Jets win over the Patriots. They've done it before and I think they can do it again. Mangini knows how the Pats' offense works and he'll disect the Patriots play by play. Leon Washington and Chad Pennington will run the ball right down their throats.
NFC:
Seahawks vs. Cowboys
Tony Romo? More like Tony Romoverrated. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good QB, but he's not the Troy Aikman so many people claimed is. He's too mistake prone and I think Lofa Tatupu and the rest of the Seahawks will pressure him as much as possible and cause him to turn the ball over. The Dallas defense is top notch, but it's nothing Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander can't handle. I pick the Seahawks for this match.
Giants vs. Eagles
Another matchup where two teams I really like are playing each other. The Giants have stunk as of late but we know that the offense can play well when they are in a good rythm. I think that this game will be a game where the underdog comes out on top. I'm picking the Giants for this match. It's unlikely because Jeff Garcia and crew are going to rip the Giants' defense to shreds.
