Cincinatti @ Houston=Bengals win
Pittsburgh @ Denver=Denver wins (I'm not a Tebow fan, but I hate the Steelers even more... I honestly hope both teams find some unprecedented way to eliminate each other, Punch-up In Piestany-style.)
Detroit @ New Orleans=Saints win (stupid Lions...)
Atlanta @ New York=Falcons win
Shanny agree's with your AFC picks....but not so much your NFC predictions.
It seems like even on here the Texans don't get respect.
Somehow Cushing doesn't make the Pro Bowl (WTF?), and then a huge win for their first playoff win.
Even though I'm a "relatively" new fan who hasn't endured the same trials and tribulations as some other Texans fans, it was nice to see some respect FINALLY.
SensFanatic, take that.

Ravens and Giants Superbowl...........book it.(aside from the Saints, the G-men are the only team really capable of beating the Packers at Lambeau, and the Ravens D will give Tom Brady nightmares).

Don't worry Sean, next year things will be back to normal in that division

Regardless of how they've done this year, it's hard to show this team playoff respect when Schaub is watching the games with a track suit on instead of pads, and they're starting their 3rd string QB.
Denver @ New England=Brady Win(I'm no Pats fan, but Brady is going to show Tebow what a truly elite QB can do.)
Houston @ Baltimore=Ravens win(I have a hard time seeing Houston keeping up with a non-Bengals team without Schaub, and the Ravens are just about as un-Bengal-like as you get)
New Orleans @ San Francisco=Saints win(This game is going to be WAY closer than some people think... I see San Fran keeping it close all game with their suffocating D, but Brees will pull it out in the 4th quarter for the close win).
New York @ Green Bay=Packers win(Giants haven't beaten the Packers since 2007, when the team was, quite literally, almost completely different, led by a declining Favre, and not nearly as good. Packers have won every game since then. Honestly, if Giants fans are hanging their hat on beating the Pack this one time five years ago, then it's already over. Pack win by at least 2 TD's.)

4 years ago,
anyways, It's Eli's first playoff game at Lambeau since then, and he has arguably a better receiving core, Bradshaw and Jacobs are FINALLY both healthy again, the defense has really come together at the right time, and the O-line can hold up quite well against Matthews et all.
Manning has always been absolutely phenomenal in cold weather playoff games, and is great in the pocket when under pressure. The game will be decided by 7 points or less.
Right. I was doing the math based on calendar years, not actual NFL seasons. You're correct.

It may be Eli's first playoff game at Lambeau since then, but he has played 2 regular season games since then against the Packers, and lost them both (this year in NY, and a blowout loss last year at Lambeau: 45-17). Eli MAY arguably have a better receiving core and healthy RB's than he did in '07, but EVERYTHING about the packers is SIGNIFICANTLY better in 2011 than it was in 2007: the receiving corps, the QB, their RB situation, both the O and D lines, and above all, their D is almost night-and-day different, in a good way. This is a better Packers team than last year, when they won the whole frigging thing.
I'm MUCH more worried about a team like Baltimore and New Orleans than I am about the Giants. The G-men are just above Houston and Denver on my "Serious-Threat-O-Meter".

Eh. Obviously Manning has had playoff success, I'm not trying to take anything away from the guy. That being said, unless the Pack are overconfident and seriously rusty from their bye-week layoff or they get some significant in-game injuries, I can't see New York winning this game.

It's highly debatable about whether or not this Packers team is better then last year, more experienced sure...
An O-line that features Mackenzie, Snee, Diehl is not something to take lightly.
The Pack haven't shown many weakesses this year in their game for the most part, but they are far from unbeatable. New York just has to establish their running game, their defense has to continue to improve after each play, and Eli has to be...well..Eli for the Giants to win this game. The Packers aren't winning it again this year....heck even the Saints are a more formidable opponent at this point regardless of the teams records.
The Packers really haven't experienced the feeling of losing in quite sometime....something that the other teams left have.
