It's playoff time in the NFL

[DavidMn]

Ok here we go folks. It's time for that grand second season those of fans know as the NFL playoffs. Here's what I think will happen. PLEASE dont go to your bookies with this analysis.

First weekend:

Saturday:
Washington at Tampa Bay. This is a tough one for me, but I'm going with Tampa in a low scoring affair 13-10. It could go either way though, the Redskins are very dangerous right now.

Jacksonville at New England. Jacksonville's 12-4 record is quite misleading in my opinion. They are 3-3 against teams with winning records, 9-1 against cupcakes like Houston Tennessee, San Fransisco and others. I'm going with the 2 time defending champions 27-14.


Sunday:

Carolina at the New York Giants. Carolina all the way here. I know EVERYBODY is talking about a Manning VS Manning Super Bowl, but they'll have to wait a couple years for that. Carolina 24-13.


Pittsburgh at Cincinnati. This is another easy one for me. I'm going with the Steelers all the way here too. There are 2 facts at work here in my opinion. Pittsburgh won in Cinci earlier this year and Cincinnati's defense the last 2 weeks has given up 74 points . I dont care who which polayers they were playing, that sucks.

Now moving on to the second round....

NFC: Carolina at Seattle. Carolina's one week playoff run ends here. Seattle 31-17.

Tampa Bay at Chicago. This one might go into overtime 0-0 these defenses are both that good. But that wont happen. What will happen is a Chicago win, 13-3.

AFC: Pittsburgh at Indianapolis: Colts 38-17. Indy will ride the Dungy vibe.

New England at Denver: wow this is a tough one, but I'm going with the PAtriots in a close one, 21-17. This one could go either way too.


NFC Championship: Chicago at Seattle. Seattle's offense is vastly better than Chicagos, while their defense is not as good as Chicago's. The Seahawks offense will be the difference here in a close game. Seahawks 21, Bears 14.

AFC Championship: New England at Indianapolis. The Patriots will put up a good fight and may well win, but I'mk going with the Colts in a squeaker 31-28.

Super Bowl 40 in Detroit Michigan, Sunday, 2-5-06, Seattle Seahawks vs Indianapolis Colts. The great northwest will celabrate their first Super Bowl win as Shaun Alexander runs for 2 touchdowns. Seattle 24, Indianapolis 21.


Your Superbowl 40 champions:

The Seattle Seahawks

Well, for what it's worth, there are my picks. They could, and probably all will be wrong. Hope everyone that's a fan enjoys the postseason.
