There are many questions waiting to be answered in the first weekend NFL postseason. The four games on the slate are all very close to call, but I will do my best to not look bad with my first playoff picks (Winner in black)
Bengals 24-Jets 14
Are the Jets for real? I say no,no team that went 0-2 against the Dolphins this season is a playoff contender. Bengals get ahead early and Sanchez throws a couple of picks to get the J-E-T-S O-U-T of the playoffs.
Patriots 16-Ravens 13
How much are the Patriots going to miss Wes Welker? A lot. You just don't replace 10 catches, 100 yards per game. Having said that, they will ultimately prevail in a close, low-scoring game.
Cowboys 30-Eagles 27
Are the Cowboys ready to win their first playoff game since 1996? Well, it's funny that a month ago the Cowboys were the biggest December chokers and now the mainstream media is picking them to go to the Super Bowl. I think they will beat the Eagles, but that is as far as they will go this season.
Cardinals 27-Packers 20
Can the Packers beat the Cardinals for the second time in a row? No. Let's remember that the Cardinals are the defending NFC champions and they are playing at home. The Packers are hot, having won seven of their last eight games, but they will not be able to overcome Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner.
