Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs

[Chico23231]

My upset picks: Cincy wins, Detroit wins, and Denver wins. I think Denver has more of a chance than people are giving them. Denver's pass rush against a limited Ben could be an advantage. The Jesus factor could be huge as well.

We can only hope Jerry stays at being the GM.

One playoff win in 15 years? I'd love to ask Jerry that if a real GM was making the moves that caused that track record, would that GM still have a job? He knows that isn't good enough and he should fire himself. It won't happen cause his ego is the size of Texas!

I'm saying it now, Denver upsets Pittsburgh.

I think it's a close game simply cause Pittsburgh is so beat up. Pittsburgh wins a close one.

Ben R. could sit out and they could still win big.

Yes and from what I have read, Ben is expected to play.

I think this is one of the best weekends of the season. Wild Card games are always fun!

Nope, Pgh got smoked but Denver isnt anywhere close to SF's caliber. Denver just doesnt score enough points.

Absolutely!! Great football weekend every year but I think this season in particular looks promising. I actually think every game this weekend could be competitive.

Sure the Steelers are the better team but as beat up as that roster is Denver will give 'em a run.

Texans have been very fortunate to win games since Schaub went down. Bengals showed this season they lose to good teams and beat the bad ones...Texans are somewhere in the middle.

Giants seem to be peaking but Atlanta is the better team and should take this one.

The Lions are well matched against the Saints offensively, but the Lions defense will break apart against Saints o. Saints have the top passing attack and (maybe surprisingly) sixth best running game in the league. The ground game will be decisive against San Fran.
