Sometimes it is fun to try to predict things. I enjoy doing this with sports, where teams will finish, who will win what, etc..., and given that the NFL playoffs begin tomorrow I thought I'd take a moment to throw out some predictions for who would win it all this year. What are yours???
AFC wild-card round
No. 6 New York Jets (11-5) at No. 3 Indianapolis Colts (10-6)The Jets finished with more regular season wins but this is the playoffs. Colts win this one in decisive fashion at home.
No. 5 Baltimore Ravens (12-4) at No. 4 Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)
A low scoring, defensive game in bad weather is what I’m expecting from this matchup. It is close but the Ravens hold the Chiefs off.

AFC divisional round
No. 3 Indianapolis Colts (10-6) at No. 2 Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)
A good matchup and at first I want to go with Indy. In the end though I admit this isn’t the same Indy as in years past and in Pittsburgh the Steelers win a close one.

No. 5 Baltimore Ravens (12-4) at No. 1 New England Patriots (14-2)
New England is again playing well and Baltimore isn’t going to stop them enough or score enough to win. Patriots win easily.

AFC Championship Game
No. 2 Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) at No. 1 New England Patriots (14-2)A battle of two good teams. In a back and forth game it could come down to who has the ball last. In the end of the game New England comes up big and advance.
NFC wild-card round
No. 5 New Orleans Saints (11-5) at No. 4 Seattle Seahawks (7-9)
The Saints have never won a road playoff game in their history … but the Seahawks have a losing record for a reason and that reason being they aren’t good. New Orleans wins but Seattle keeps it respectable.
No. 6 Green Bay Packers (10-6) at No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)The Saints have never won a road playoff game in their history … but the Seahawks have a losing record for a reason and that reason being they aren’t good. New Orleans wins but Seattle keeps it respectable.
Perhaps the best game of the first round, both teams are capable of putting up big numbers. In the end, in Philadelphia, the edge goes to the Eagles in a close one.
NFC divisional round
No. 5 New Orleans Saints (11-5) at No. 1 Atlanta Falcons (13-3)Are the Falcons really as good as their record indicates? I hate to say it but I honestly don’t know. My gut tells me that the Saints win a close one though.
The Bears can’t get on track offensively and fall behind early never to catch up. Eagles win early then hold on.
NFC Championship Game
No. 5 New Orleans Saints (11-5) at No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
Game is back and forth but Saints have been off and on all season and they are a bit too off in this one. Eagles win a close one.

SUPERBOWL XLV
No. 1 New England Patriots (14-2) vs. No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)Offense galore in the Superbowl but the Patriots are a bit more consistant than the Eagles. Patriots again are crowned NFL Champions.
