Playoff Predictions

Andrew Tie

Wildcard Weekend

AFC


Texans over Bengals - I see the Texans getting the run game going and controlling the game. TJ Yates won't have to be perfect, and the Texans come out with a win.

Steelers over Broncos- The Steelers have been hurting recently with Rashard Mendenhall and Ryan Clark not playing, and Big Ben is still not doing too well on that ankle. But they're still much better than the Broncos. Sorry Tebow.

NFC

Saints over Lions- This should be a good game, but the Saints are just looking way too good right now. I don't think the Lions will be able to put up enough points to keep up with New Orleans.

Falcons over Giants - Lot of talk this week between Justin Tuck and the Falcons' O-Line, but the passing game will be key. Victor Cruz has been good recently, but I don't think it'll be enough.

Divisional Weekend

AFC


Steelers over Patriots - I have a feeling the Steelers will work some magic here and beat the Patriots. How will Brady and Bill O'Brien work together now that O'Brien has Penn State in the back of his mind?

Ravens over Texans - Not that I'm a huge fan of Joe Flacco in the playoffs, but the Texans aren't that strong right now. Give me some Rice and the Ravens.

NFC

Saints over 49ers - I'm not very good at picking upsets, so I'm not going to try to. The Saints are so good right now, and I just can't see them being stopped with Brees right now.

Packers over Falcons - Packers are better than the Falcons. They'll score more points. They'll win.

Championship Weekend

AFC


Ravens over Steelers - If there's one team that can beat the Ravens, it's the Steelers, but if they don't have a healthy lineup, they won't be able to win. Rice will destroy the Steelers running and catching.

NFC

Saints over Packers- Saints get the win avenging their loss in Week 1. Offensive shootout will be incredible to watch.

Super Bowl Weekend

Saints over Ravens - I'm on the Saints bandwagon right now, not because I particularly like them, but because I think they're pretty unstoppable right now. Joe Flacco doesn't have what it takes to win a Super Bowl.
