Playoffs Thread: wildcard round

[Coachmarkos]

Well, even if the chargers aren't playing, there will be football to watch this coming weekend.

In the NFC, Carolina is the favorite, with Arizona as the 2 seed. Arizona was just pounded by Seattle.

The Seahawks have looked great the last month or so, except against the Rams. Since the Rams aren't in the playoffs, I can see Seattle making another run.

The AFC is a complete cluster. The Broncos are the 1 seed, and I'm sorry if that's the best the 1 seed can do at home, yesterday, against the chargers backups, they don't scare me. NE is the 2 seed, and they have lost 4 of 6, including losing to Miami yesterday.

No idea what to expect in the AFC.

Saturday:
KC at Houston
Pitt at Cincinnati

Sunday:
Seattle at Minnesota
Green Bay at Washington

Wouldn't mind an Arizona-Cincinnati Super Bowl. That's a game I'd actually watch. Won't watch a game that contains a Manning, a Brady, a Peterson, a Pittsburgh or a Seattle.

Look for KC to make a deep run. I think I would take them on the road against Houston this week and then against Manning next week. They just seemed to be really balanced right now which is a good formula for the playoffs.

Weird that both AFC games are on Saturday and both NFC games are Sunday.

If not Rivera, Killer tomato has to be coach of the year because they looked dead before they lost Charles only to go on that run.

Which I think is why one team tried to lose that game

[Mister Hoarse]

Predicting 4 road wins this weekend.

Had that ever happened before? If Dalton is back, Cinci will have a shot, but otherwise, you're right.. The away teams look much stronger. Weird.

Well the Vikings needed to try a little harder

So the Steelers end the season with 5 straight games against back-up QB's and now start the playoffs against another.

Wow! That has to be a first.
