    Sorry if there is already a thread for this but I did not see it if there is one:

    Round One:

    Cinncy at Houston - I think Cinncy wins this one. Unless Jake gets in the game and has some of his old mojo left the Texans just do not have a playoff caliber QB.

    Pittsburgh at Denver - The Steelers should win easily but strange things sometimes happen. The Steelers tend to play down to their opponents this year. I suspect Fox will manage to keep them close by being super conservative and hope for Tebow miracle at the end. I just do not see it happening though. Steelers will win.

    Atlanta at NY Giants - How did the Giants make the playoffs again? It wont matter cause they won't be there long. Atlanta beats them easily.

    Detroit at New Orleans - probably the best game of this round. It should be a shoot out with lots of points scored. If Detroit can keep from getting blown out early it should be fun. The Saints have a huge edge in experience though and are probably still smarting from losing to the Seahawks last year so I pick the Saints to win something like 45-33.

    New Orleans and Pittsburgh seem like givens, but the other two could go either way. I'm thinking Cincinnati and New York.

    I agree with Thelt, Texans don't have a QB...

    Broncos
    I think the Broncos are this year's Seahawks. They'll shock the NFL world by winning a home playoff game that no one thinks they can win and then lose the following week.

    Giants
    The Giants play their best when their backs are against the wall. Remember, when the Giants won Super Bowl XLII in 2008, they made the playoffs as a Wildcard team.

    Saints
    Detroit has no chance in this game. They're just cannon fodder for the Saints attack...
