Fear the beardAtlanta Falcons vs. New York Giants
The Falcons won 10 games this season. The combined record of those teams: 60-100. Only one team (Detroit) is in the playoffs. Only two (Detroit, Tennessee) are winning teams. I don't blame the Falcons for beating teams they should. However, if you're forcing me to pick a team here I have to consider that the Giants have played better, they've beaten better teams and lost to the three best teams in the league (arguably). Falcons could wind up throwing on the Giants. Giants could wind up planting Matt Ryan into the turf. Falcons 4-4 on the road.
Prediction: Giants 24, Falcons 19
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans
I couldn't be any more clueless about a professional sporting event. Texans are probably more talented and better. Then again, they're on their third-string, rookie quarterback. Texans are at home in first playoff game at Reliant. Bengals have the Red Rifle. Texans have an impossible running game. Bengals have a pretty good defense. Houston has a better defense. Give me the home team ... with extreme reservations.
Prediction: Texans 24, Bengals 16
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos
Don't be fooled. I enjoy Tim Tebow as much as the next guy. But this is the Pittsburgh effin' Steelers in the cold months in the playoffs. Denver's defense hasn't been near as good lately. The Steelers are not infalliable. They also deserve a bit more credit than they're getting in his match-up. Broncos?! Geesh.
Prediction: Steelers 27, Broncos 10
Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints
I think the Saints are much more capable of getting a stop. First playoff game for Matt Stafford. I think the Saints are at home. I don't think the Lions offense can be efficient enough to keep up. Lions best bet is running the ball ... a lot. Take a page from the Seattle Seahawks a year ago. It's possible. Not probable.
Prediction: Saints 34, Lions 26
