Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs

...sounds to me that where there is ..."dirt"....there is fire.

I would like to see:

Cincy beat Houston because I like Andy Dalton and dont care much for anything Texaswise.

I'd like Denver to beat Pitt though I doubt it will happen.
The Tebow thing is good for the NFL I think and I love to see the haters gnash their teeth over it.

I dont care much for the Falcons but for obvious reasons I'd like to see them crush the Gints.

I've made a living out of hating the Lions and I hope Drew Brees embarrasses them badly.

Sickle cell trait keeps Ryan Clark out of Denver playoff game - Shutdown Corner - NFL*Blog - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Sickle-cell-trait-keeps-Ryan-Clark-out-of-Denver?urn=nfl-wp15160)

Crazy. I had no idea Ryan Clark had that condition. Or maybe I did after what happened to him in 2007, but I probably forgot about it. Sucks for him. I think the Steelers will still win though.

Denver is the one team in the playoffs that an opponent can get away without having a player like Clark. Pgh is banged up but Denver makes the Redskins offense look explosive. Pgh wins this one.

Hopes and Predictions:

Falcons/Giants: Hope Falcons, Prediction Giants (obvious reason for the hope)
Saints/Lions: Hope Saints, Prediction Saints (like the Saints a lot since I saw them live in London)
Cincy/Houston: Hope Houston, Prediction Cincy (dunno, just like the Texans)
Denver/Pittsburgh: Hope Steelers, Prediction Steelers (don´t like the Steelers, but can´t stand the Tebow - hype AND person)

This is the one game that has ugly written all over it to me.

Ben R. could sit out and they could still win big.

My upset picks: Cincy wins, Detroit wins, and Denver wins. I think Denver has more of a chance than people are giving them. Denver's pass rush against a limited Ben could be an advantage. The Jesus factor could be huge as well.

^^ LOL. As long as everyone is Tebowing (http://tebowing.com/) first.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones won't consider giving up GM title - ESPN Dallas (http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/7418937/dallas-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-consider-giving-gm-title)

We can only hope Jerry stays at being the GM. :food-smil

One playoff win in 15 years? I'd love to ask Jerry that if a real GM was making the moves that caused that track record, would that GM still have a job? He knows that isn't good enough and he should fire himself. It won't happen cause his ego is the size of Texas!

I'm saying it now, Denver upsets Pittsburgh.

I think it's a close game simply cause Pittsburgh is so beat up. Pittsburgh wins a close one.
