Wild Card Weekend Picks

Saints at Seahawks
- Everyone's picking the Seahawks in this one. They lost at the Saints earlier this year, but they're getting their QB back, they have a big home field advantage, and Drew Brees has been interception happy for a dozen straight games. It all seems like a perfect storm for me for this game to not only be closer than what it should be, but an upset in the making.

Jets at Colts
- I don't like the Jets, but they have a pretty good defense. With a banged up Colts offense, I can see them holding the Colts down for a long time, enough so to keep them ahead in the late game. I know Peyton Manning's a great QB, but his team's too banged up on offense to do what they did against the Jets last season in the AFC Championship.

Ravens at Chiefs
- The Chiefs have looked good for most of the season, but so have the Ravens. This matchup's pretty even, but this one mainly comes down to experience and the Ravens have it, the Chiefs don't.

Packers at Eagles
- Earlier in the year Vick had a coming out party against the Packers after Kevin Kolb got injured. It was too much of a deficit to overcome, but they made the game close. Green Bay also didn't gameplan for Vick in that game as well as had a few injuries which are fine now. The weather shouldn't play a factor in how the Packers play, so the edge goes to Green Bay here.
