Steelers/Bengals: Steelers defeated Cincinnati 27-13 in Week 7; Bengals defeated Pittsburgh 38-31 in Week 13

Wild Card Predictions

(6) Redskins at (3) Buccaneers
Washington is truly dangerous riding a 5-game win streak entering the playoffs (Yes, I'm bias). Tampa Bay dominated last time when both Griffin and Salave'a were out at DT. Both starters and CB Carlos Rogers are expected to play. Tampa Bay has won 4 of 5 to win the NFC South
24-20 REDSKINS

(5) Jaguars at (4) Patriots
The Patriots should have captured the 3 seed and played Pittsburgh. The Jaguars are a 12-4 team that is on the road. Welcome to the new NFL division system. The Jaguars strength of schedule is horrific, as they played Houston and Tennessee twice each.
20-17 PATRIOTS

(5) Panthers at (4) Giants
Is Will Allen going to cover Steve Smith? Yeah, like he did Santana Moss two weeks ago.
28-17 PANTHERS

(6) Steelers at (3) Bengals
Again, Pittsburgh is another team peaking at the right time. Cincinnati has been so-so the last couple weeks. Experience may be the determining factor for the Steelers.
16-14 STEELERS

Steelers - Bengals should be close,,
I hope it is a Colts-Panthers or Bears Superbowl!!

Here are my picks (As the newly crowned LPD Fantasy football champ I feel my picks are above question LOL)

Wild Card Predictions

Redskins at Buccaneers
This will be a rematch of one of the better games of the regular season. the Bucs won the fist one and with a healthy Catalac and Simms looking more and more like a solid NFL QB I see the Bucs taking this one buy more than a TD.

PICK Bucs



Jaguars at Patriots

While I really dislike the Pats and would like nothing better than to see them choke in round one of the playoffs I don't see that happening Pats by as many as they want

PICK Pats

Panthers at Giants
Should be a good game and while I would like to see the Giants pull this one out they have played to poorly down the stretch this year The Panthers will take this one in an upset.

PICK Carolina

Steelers at Bengals
I am sorry but I am just not sold on the Bengals and the Steelers after battling injurys all season finally appear to be hitting on all cylinders (even though Detroit put a scare into them this weekend) I am taking the Steelers a not so close one

PICK Steelers

Bucs
Jags
Giants
Steelers

Skins
Pats
Giants

STEELERS -----SORRY THOMAS

This weekend I have to pick with my gut.

Cincy
New York
Washington
Jacksonville

I know a lot of people doubt Jacksonville. They have played solid defense every single game this year. They lost 4 games. ONE HALF of their losses came to the Indianapolis Colts in very tight ball games. A bounce or two of a ball would have Jacksonville with a bye and Indianapolis on the road to Foxboro. 2 things I see helping Jacksonville, the play of Stroud and Haynesworth, and the fact that it's supposed to be party sunny in Foxboro this weekend.

I think since Cincy put out the video with Bootsy Collins they have gone downhill and gotten the big head about being in the playoffs, but I think Lewis has a tight enough control over his team to pull them through.

I'll tell you who going to the superbowl!!
The pats and the seahawks!!
Watch and see...
