Wild-Card Round

AFC

6 Cincinnati at 3 Houston
Cincy 27 Houston 16

-It's all about being hot coming into the playoffs.  Cincy has won their last 3 and 7 of their last 8 games (a 1 pt loss to Dallas splits up these streaks).  Houston has free-falled from 11-1 and the consensus #1 seed to losing 3 of their last 4 and ending up in the wild-card round.  J.J Watt will give Dalton trouble but I think Green-Ellis sets the pace for this one as the Bengals pull away in the early 4th quarter.
CIN Green-Ellis 23 rush, 87 yds, TD
CIN Dalton 20-32, 222 yds, 2 TD
HOU Foster 24 rush, 111 yds
HOU Schaub 23-45, 251 yds, TD, 2 INT

5 Indianapolis at 4 Baltimore
Indy 24 Baltimore 23
-#ChuckStrong over Ray Lewis' last game.  Toss up, though.

IND Ballard 14 rush, 30 yds
IND Luck 32-51, 363 yds, 2 TD, 3 INT, 5 rush, 29 yds, TD
BAL Rice 18 rush, 54 yds, TD
BAL Flacco 16-31, 159 yds, fum

NFC

6 Minnesota at 3 Green Bay
Green Bay 41 Minny 13
-Adrian Peterson is a stud who can not be stopped, only slowed down.  However, Aaron Rodgers at home against Christian Ponder in the playoffs?  Too much talent on the side of the Pack.

GB Grant 17 rush, 77 yds, TD
GB Rodgers 20-29, 339 yds, 2 TD, 2 rush, 14 yds
MIN Peterson 22 rush, 103 yds
MIN Ponder 22-43, 204 yds, 3 INT

5 Seattle at 4 Washington
Seattle 17 Washington 12
-I think Seattle can stop the Redskin rush attack forcing RGIII to pass on Seattle's tremendous pass defense.  The Hawks will win this one with defense, a tough run game and a clutch performance by Russell.  Same formula they've used all year.  I don't care that they went 3-5 on the road.

SEA Lynch 21 rush, 89 ids
SEA Wilson 24-35, 279 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT, 3 rush, 31 yds
WSH Morris 18 rush, 33 yds
WSH Griffin III 18-41, 217 yds, INT, 6 rush, 36 yds
