Saturday

Saints-31 @ Seahawks-13 (Saints should win going away, HOWEVER, if this game stays close going into the 4th quarter the Seahawks can win this with that very loud crowd, But look for the Saints to jump out quickly and silent the crowd)

Jets-20 @ Colts-31 (Just do not see the Jets being able to contain the Colts, Jets running game has disappeared and that will give Peyton Manning too much time to overcome the Jets)

Sunday

Ravens-26 @ Chiefs-17 (Ravens have too much experience and there appears to be a rift between Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis and Head Coach Todd Haley, it appears Haley is jealous of Weis, Haley's actions will eventually be his downfall, Remember him not shaking hands with Josh McDaniels, These actions is not what you want in a head Coach)

Packers-26 @ Eagles-13 (I know the Eagles are great in 1st round games, but Michael Vick has not been the same the past several weeks and the Packer defense will terrorize Vick and hit him alot)

Predictions for the rest of the playoffs (See Amended picks below with the news of the injuries to the Saints Running Backs)

Hey Nutball. One thing I admire is that you stand by your predictions, thus aren't afraid to reflectively look back at them. That's first class ... but going against your J-E-T-S? Oh well, I understand your point.

I don't wear Gang Green or Pinstripe Glasses. The only game this past week I went with my heart was that Seahawk/Ram Game, I really wanted a 7-9 team in the playoffs just to piss off a whole bunch of people,

Were you surprised that Marvin Lewis is staying? I was stunned, I thought he would run away from Mike Brown.

I too thought Marvin would leave, as opposed to being fired. However, I believe the two gentlemen respect one another, thus talked to fit a common decision.

Bengal fans criticize Mike Brown a lot - but I maintain that some of his strengths are also weaknesses - such as - he is extremely loyal - he is willing to give second chances.

A friend, and self-proclaimed pundit of knowledge, believes that nobody would hire Marvin, and that Mike couldn't find someone else. I simply consider the source.
