Wildcard Preview

The four teams earning the bye:

1.  New England Patriots (14-2):  Tom Brady - say no more.
2.  Atlanta Falcons (13-3):  Outstanding season - watch out for them.
3.  Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4):  Big Ben's only stat that looks good - win/loss.  With a week off after squeaking past the Browns last week, he should be raring to go.
4.  Chicago Bears (11-5):  I don't see how they keep winning - but they do.

Wildcard match-ups:

New Orleans Saints (11-5) at Seattle Seahawks (7-9):  While it looks like a total miss-match, and the league should be embarrassed that a team like Seattle even makes the playoffs, I won't be surprised if the Seahawks put up a pretty good fight.  Although, I won't be surprised if they don't.  Saints by 10+
New York Jets (11-5) at Indianapolis Colts (10-6):  Four weeks ago it looked like the Colts weren't even going to make the playoffs.  Four wins later, at home, with Payton at the helm, Colts by 4
Baltimore Ravens (12-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (10-6):  Take the under on this snore-fest.  10-6 Ravens
Green Bay Packers (10-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (10-6):  The game of the week.  One defense is going to have to come up big, to stop the other team from racking up points.  Take the over.  Eagles by 4

I'm probably way off, and I'll admit it when I am.

Stay tuned.
