Wild Card Playoff Predictions

The Playoffs are here so I thought I would start off with a few predictions on the wild card match ups.

Minnesota Vikings (8-8) at Green Bay Pakcers (10-6)

This might be the easiest of all the pick’s. “Coach Collapse”’s team lost seven of it’s last ten including last week to the Redskins. Although the Redskins have been underrated all year long, they had nothing to play for but pride. The Vikings were playing for the playoffs. Like last year they choked but unlike last year they lucked into the playoffs thanks to a very weak NFC. They have shown they have no heart and you need heart to win in the playoffs. It doesn’t help that on the other side of the ball is Mr. Heart Brett Favre. He is on a mission to get back to the Super Bowl one more time and he owns the Vikings beating them twice this last year. However the packers have no pass Defense and that is all the Vikings will do, too bad they are playing in January in Wisconsin. Packers win 24-21.

New York Jets (10-6) at San Diego Charges (12-4)

This match up is a little lackluster. I got to be honest that I don’t know how San Diego has emerged from the ashes of last year. I think Schottenheimer is one of the worst coaches in the NFL and I can only surmise he has sold his soul to Satan or worse Jerryn Jones. I don’t think that Brees is as good as he is playing but luckily they happen to play the Jets. Look for the Jets to rush Martin a lot and try to keep the ball out of the hands of Brees and company. However the Jets couldn’t finish the deal against the lowly Rams last week either and once again they were fighting for a playoff squat (the jets backed in as well). And John Abraham will probably be out for the Jets which will give Brees time to find open receivers. San Diego wins 28-17.

St. Louis (8-8) at Seattle (9-7)

There is only one thing worse then a team backing into a wild cart spot and that is a team backing into a Dicision championship. And that is what the Sea hawks did. Seriously who wins a division at 9-7?. That mean San Francisco is only a decent quarterback away from running away with the division (hear that Leinart). The Seahawks lost both regular season wins against St. Louis and seem to be focused on the wrong things. Alexander was upset last week that the game winning one yard touchdown run was taken by the quarterback and not him. They won the game which assured them getting into the playoffs at home and he was worried that he did not win the rushing title. St. Louis has won it’s last two games and they will win this one too. St. Louis wins 28-10.

Denver (10-6) at Indianapolis (12-4)
This may be the most entertaining game on the slate. Indianapolis played it’s scrubs last week and were beaten to a pulp by the Broncos who had to win to get into the playoffs. Their reward? Facing Indianapolis again this week, but this time no scrubs. John Lynch looked real tough last week, however this week he looks $75,000 lighter and like a punk. His bulletin board comments are getting the Indianapolis offense rialed. And the last thing you want to do is get Peyton I-threw-49-tds Manning riled up. Look for the colts to open up on Lynch and the rest of the Broncos D. The colts defense will not be very good but Plummer will throw a couple of picks anyway and that will be the game. Colts win 35-21.
