AFC
Cincinnati Bengals Vs
Houston Texans
The
Texans started off the season looking like they were going to be one
of the toughest teams to beat, until they played The Patriots and
they kicked their ass and snapped them back to reality. The Bengals
have actually surprised me this season, they were a lot better than I
anticipated them being. AJ Green and Andy Dalton are very dangerous
to any defense that faces them and if you don't contain them then
they will make you pay. The Bengals have won the last 7 out of 8
games so that's a great streak to be riding into the playoffs, where
as The Texans were a win away from homefield advantage and blew their
wad in December by losing 3 out of their last 4 games. It's never
good coming into the playoffs on a losing streak in December, but
it's great when you're winning. The Bengals may not be the better
overall team, but The Texans have not been the same team since The
Patriots stomped them to the curb and I still think they've been
shook up ever since. Matt Schaub has been throwing nothing but
interceptions and the defense has not been as dominant like they were
in the beginning of the season. I'm taking the upset in this game and
going with The Bengals, there's always an upset in the first week of
the playoffs and I think this will be it!

Indianapolis Colts Vs
Baltimore Ravens
The
Colts are the most surprising team to me that made the playoffs. I
figured they would have some growing pains since they are in a
rebuilding year, but they flipped the script on all of us and
actually had a great season. They won a lot of games playing sloppy
football, but hey a win is a win and Andrew Luck is already clutch
and setting rookie records as a quarterback. There really isn't a ton
of talent on this team, but they just find a way to win. The Ravens
are a good team but haven't figured out how to play consistently.
Sometimes on offense they'll light a team up and then the next week
they won't score shit, on defense they still have some great players,
but injury and age seems to be catching up to them in some games. The
sad news is that Ray Lewis has announced he will retire after the
playoffs, but I think that's a good thing for the team, I have a
feeling that will motivate them a little more to get one more ring
for Ray to send him out on a high note. The Colts, I think, will be
getting a wake up call in this game, I don't think they are even on
The Ravens level right now and I think they are a much superior team
on many levels. The Ravens defense should have Andrew Luck on his ass
all day and I think The Ravens offense should have a field day with
The Colts mediocre defense. This should be the biggest blowout of the
weekend!

NFC
Minnesota Vikings Vs
Green Bay Packers
Adrian
Peterson is a bad mutha fucka!!! That dude blew out his knee at the
end of the season and everyone assumed he'd be lucky to be back the
first month or two of the season, well that bad ass showed us! Not
only did he come back, but he came back with a vengeance, he single
handedley is carrying this team to wins and carried them into the
playoffs. He still runs hard and when you get him in the open field
he is GONE!! I love watching him play and am so happy that I get to
see more of him in the playoffs. The Packers just lost a close one to
The Vikings last week and the game they played back in Week 13 was a
win but also a close game. Both games came down to the end and were
back and fourth the whole way, so this should be another great
matchup. The Packers started the season off shaky, but got back on
track and are playing some good football. They have only lost one
home game this season so that is definitely an advantage for them
against The Vikings. I think the factor in this game will be
Christian Ponder, if he plays bad then The Vikings have no chance if
he plays decent then they do, but The Packers are getting healthy and
also getting Charles Woodson and Randall Cobb back this week. I think
the defense will have Ponder running around all day and forcing
turnovers, Adrian Peterson I'm sure will still do his thing but I
don't think he will be enough for them to move on.

Seattle Seahawks Vs
Washington Redskins
Who
would have thought that the top three rookie quarterbacks from the
2012 draft would all be in the playoffs? Now we get to see two of
them play against eachother, both Russell Wilson and RGIII have been
doing some great things this season and have really carried their
teams into the playoffs. Griffin isn't the only rookie doing big
things on his team though, Alfred Morris is a sixth round pick who
just set the team rushing record for most rushing yards by a running
back in a season for The Redskins, that's a big deal and he's
obviously been a big part of the offense. The Seahawks are just an
overall awesome team, on offense Russell Wilson has a cannon of an
arm and can also make big plays with his legs, but he also has that
beast back Marshawn Lynch who is just having a great season rushing
over 1,500 yards and 11 Tds. Lynch runs hard and will take on any
defensive player straight up and always seems to make his way out of
the pack, he is very tough to tackle! I think overall The Seahawks
are a better team than The Redskins and should get this win. The
Redskins have a lot of injuries on defense, so Lynch and Wilson
should have big days and The Seahawks defense hits hard and I'm sure
they have RGIII and his hurt knee on lockdown this week.
