NFL Wild Card Predictions

[frozensolid_702]

I've been perfect with my predictions, so far (as evidenced earlier in this thread) so I owe it to myself and all of you to try to keep my perfect streak going

Colts over Chargers

Seahawks over Packers

Patriots over Jags

Giants over Cowboys

WE have it exactly the same. You care to enlight us of your picks?

Heres my reason:

Colts over Chargers because Colts are just overall the better team and are at home where it is always an advantage for the home team.

Pats over Jags, although I don't think pats have a better ground game then the Jags imo. The experience and the winning mentality of the patriots will not fail them to go undefeated then lose their first game at home. The weather will probubly give Jags the advantage with the run game but the Patriots defense can prolly contain them enough to secure a victory.

Hawks over Packers becuase I think Favres team are young and the Seahawks are more experience and the defense is going into the game very motivated. The defense have some great players heading to the pro bowl and two of them made the all pro team. Imo the hawks defense will carry them to a victory not only will they hold off favres offense but they will most likely score as well via fumble recovery or interceptions.

Giants over Dallas, i think Dallas is set up for desaster. After losing the way they did to washington heading to the playoffs. romo who is suppose to be leading the team is out on vacation and T.O is not a 100%. I think it'll be close but if Dallas pulls it off it'll be becuase of a poor performance from the Giants. In that case i think the giants need to take whats there for the taking cause Dallas appear to be slacking at the wrong time of the season.

Colts over Chargers - I agree that it's because they are the better team. The Chargers offense looked stagnant against Tennessee's defense (a very good defense, though) last week. Plus, the Colts have the offense to score big points on touchdowns on a pretty good (but not great) Chargers defense. Not to mention that Harrison is gonna be back! Harrison AND Wayne is lethal.

Seahawks over Packers - It's hard to pick against GB at Lambeau, especially in the playoffs, but the Seahawks defense looked nothing short of incredible last week and Matt Hasselbeck quietly put up his best year in the NFL this season. One of the Packers biggest strengths is their rushing defense, but that's gonna be a liability this week seeing as how Seattle has almost no rushing attack. Also, there's been a buzz about this being Holmgren's last season in Seattle, so his team is gonna have a little extra motivation.

Giants over Cowboys - Eli is hot all of a sudden! Their offense is clicking, and I expect Jacobs to have a much better game this week. Tony Romo without T.O. is an average QB and T.O. isn't gonna be anywhere near 100% for this game. NY just needs to stop the run and wait for Romo to have one of his signature days where he loses a big game all by his self.

Patriots over Jaguars - David Garrard was near perfect in the regular season (only 3 picks all season) but looked very mediocre in his first playoff game. So far, I think it's because he's young and doesn't have the playoff experience more so than him being the "choke artist," that some are already labeling him. Tom Brady (when he retires) will be labeled as one of the greatest QB's of all time when all is said and done. I shouldn't have to even mention the edge that the Patriots have in playoff experience, and don't forget that this may be the best that the juggernaut Patriots have ever been.
