The Playoffs are Here!

So, another crazy NFL regular season under the belt, and once again it is the familiar names that are in the post-season picture - the Packers, the Patriots, the Saints, The Bronc-wait, what?!

Yep, you heard right, the Tim Tebow led Broncos are into the play-offs. First game up they have the Pittsburgh Steelers and well, that might get bloody.

So, anyway, 4 lucky teams have earned themselves first round byes, and they are the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers from the NFC and the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens from the AFC. The pick of the wildcard games appears to be Saints-Lions which should be a high-scoring affair - Drew Brees who is playing better than anyone in history, and has broken Dan Marino's passing yards record and Matthew Stafford, who has finally played a full 16 games and shown that when he does, he is fantastic.

Well, anyway, here are my predictions for the ol' playoffs:

Wildcard Games:

Houston v Cincinatti
Pittsburgh v Denver
Detroit v New Orleans
Atlanta v New York

Divisional Round:

New England v Houston
Baltimore v Pittsburgh
New Orleans v San Francisco
Atlanta v Green Bay


Championship Round:

Baltimore v New England
Green Bay v New Orleans


Super Bowl:

New Orleans v New England

With Drew Brees, naturally, as Super Bowl MVP.

Yeah, I'm going to be wrong, but it's worth a try anyway!
