NFL Wildcard Weekend Predictions

This weekend is the beginning of the NFL Playoffs and Wildcard weekend. Some intriguing match ups, three of them all happened in week 17. I will be curious to see if the results change. Here we go with the games for this week.

Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals
Both teams have played very inconsistent at times this year. Kurt Warner has showed a few signs of aging but has looked really good. I think the defense of the Packers will shut down the Cardinals defense. The Packers will win hands down. Their win against the Cardinals in week 17 will help them tremendously

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Cowboys did win week 17 but I don’t think Philly was really trying to win. I have a feeling you will see a lot of Michael Vick in this game to throw Dallas off their game. The Eagles win and move on to either the Saints or Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Jets
The Bengals have had an emotional year and I think those emotions will catch up with them in this game. I believe they are worn out, tired and just want the season to be over. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am. The Jets have showed signs of greatness this year and I believe those signs will help them get a victory. The Jets move on and the Bengals rough year will finally end.

New England Patriots vs. Baltimore Ravens
This in my mind will be the best game this week. Both teams have great offenses, defenses and great coaching. It is really hard to predict a winner but I think the loss of Wes Welker will affect the Patriots. I know they say one player doesn’t make a difference but to me that’s a bunch of bull because I think it does in a big way. The Ravens win and put themselves in line to be back in the Super Bowl.

Those are my predictions for the weekend and I will back next week for the divisional match ups. As Bruce Buffer of the UFC would say, It’s Time!!! It’s time for some great playoff action.
