I Got Your Fancy Playoff Predictions RIGHT HERE!
In the words of WFAN's Mike Francesa, it's Wild Card Weekend in the league...where they play......... for pay. (cue old School NFL films music). I am POSITIVELY ABSOLUTELY sure about Saturday's games, and not so sure on Sunday's games. Well, as far as the Giants game on Sunday, I kind of have a feeling, but we'll get to that in a second.

Kansas City at Indianapolis (-7)
If Larry Johnson rushes for 500 yards against the Colts' defense, Peyton Manning will throw for 501 against the Chiefs' terrible pass defense. The Colts are not losing this game. Ind 38, KC 21

Dallas at Seattle (-2)
There is usually at least one road winner in the first round of the playoffs, and Dallas will be it. (Last Wild Card weekend, THREE road teams out of four won). Dallas has been playing like garbage, but they're more talented than the Seahawks, who have one too many injuries to their secondary to win this game. Dal 27, Sea 24

NY Jets at New England (-9.5)
It's true that the Jets aren't scared of the Patriots, and hey, they've even won a game at Foxborough this year. While I give the Jets a legit shot at the upset, I've got to pick New England at home. It would be stupid not to. NE 23, NYJ 17

NY Giants at Philadelphia (-6.5)
As a fan of the Giants, I cannot possibly be objective about this game. My gut tells me 37-13 Philadelphia, but I'm going to defer to my cousin, Matthew Atwan, for what I think is an astute contrarian opinion about this game. He's also a Giant fan, but this is probably the most optimistic way a fan of the Big Blue Wreck Themselves Crew can think about this game. Atwan's take?

The Giants are going to win this weekend. I have supreme confidence. Anytime a team gets hot, or a player gets hot the media is way too quick to announce the second coming of Christ. Jeff Garcia is not Johnny Unitas. The Eagles defense is not that of the '85 Bears. This is the same team that had trouble against the run most of the year. So what if they stop Tiki? Who's to say they even will? If they put 27 men up front and "dare" Eli to beat them they're going to win the game. All of a sudden he is the worst quarterback in professional sports. He may get so scared that he can manage nothing else but to fall to the ground, curl up in the fetal position and cry. He is a starting QB in the NFL in his third year.

While I agree that there have been some signs of regression, or at least lack of progress, that doesn't mean he's terrible. And what if they can't stop Tiki, not that he'll have the kind of game like he did against a banged up Redskin defense, but [the Eagles] held him in check twice this year. Third time is going to be tough. I have not heard or read a single person, with very little exception, even hint that the Giants have a shot in this game and I'm sick of it. I know that the Giants are lacking because of injuries, especially on defense, but I'm still not convinced that they will just roll over.
