Hey guys, I wanted to predict the NFL playoffs this year, so I'm gonna start my own thread and keep this going up until the Super Bowl. You are welcome to post your own picks here if you want, or just discuss the playoffs in general!
Wild Card Round (Jan 8-9): (I predict scores too, they're probably way off though. Just pay attention to my winner picks.)
(I predict scores too, they're probably way off though. Just pay attention to my winner picks.)
I think the scores for the Packers-Eagles and Jets-Colts would be accurate. However, I expect the Saints to crush the Seahawks by more points than that and the Ravens-Chiefs game to have a much lower score. the Ravens always seem to score little points and prevent the other team from scoring many either. However, your picks for who wins is exactly what I would have thought.
Well I think you are spot on with the saints game but I feel that the other three games are going to be real close. Heres my picks Packers over eagles Ravens over chiefs Jets over colts

However, the Ravens of late have had a better offense, with Ray Rice and Joe Flacco leading the way, along with their 3 main receivers, they can score on offense. And I don't think a higher score will be the case in the Saints game because of their first matchup earlier in the season, but the Saints have gotten better since then, so I see your point.

Yeah the rest will be close I believe, and again I said that the Packers-Eagles and Jets-Colts games were tough to pick. We'll see.
mdv is a Jets fan, and I am too, but I do not think that the Jets are going anywhere in the playoffs unless Peyton Manning plays like Peyton Manning during that Dallas Cowboys game week 12.
I don't feel like predicting scores but I'll do what they do on NFL.com with match-ups.
Colts have a very slight edge over the Jets Saints have a big edge over the Seahawks Packers have a very slight edge over the Eagles Ravens and Chiefs are evenly matched
There you go. And by the way. I'm awful at predictions
Packers over Eagles Saints over Seahawks Packers over Falcons Saints over Bears Packers over Saints Colts over Jets Ravens over Chiefs Patriots over Ravens Steelers over Colts Patriots over Steelers
Ok, playoff predictions. On my Yahoo! Pro Football Pick'em, I finished the regular season 157-99, the 92nd percentile, so I think I'm purdy good at this gosh darn pick'em thingamajig.

Yes, yes, it may seem stupid to pick the Chiefs over the Ravens now, but the Ravens have not been impressing me with their faltering run defense, an the Chiefs will be able to exploit it with their superior rushing attack, which in my opinion, is te best in the NFL. I still think the Chargers should have won the AFC West though!
Who was that directed to? Because your picks were the same as mine.

The Chiefs could win, I think it will be a close game. The Chiefs are great at home, and the Ravens haven't been doing great lately.
I think the Saints have a good chance for the Super Bowl this year. They have been doing great lately, and not making any errors.
The Packers are a very dangerous team, I think Sports Illustrated has them loosing to the Patriots in the last magazine. Heres my first round.
Saints over Seattle but closer then people think. Eagles over Packers, yes I said they were dangerous but they still lose. Ravens over Chiefs Colts over Jets
