Houston beats Cincinnati (despite the Texans being in a slump)
Green Bay over the Vikings
Indy beats the Ravens (Ravens are struggling and the Colts have HUGE momentum after last week's win)

and....

Redskins win over Seattle (based on home field advantage)
 
All I know is that the Ravens have played worse than my local High School team lately. They are still favored by 6 points (i think). I also am a huge Steelers fan so I will be cheering for the Colts.

The Texans will Thump the Bungles.

GB wins in a squeaker vs. the Vikes
I dunno about the Skins vs. Seattle so I will take a guess and say Seattle by 8

I live in MN and I'm a Vikings fan, but I just don't see them winning this one. Sure we beat them this last game here at home, but a playoff game in Green Bay is going to be a totally different story.
 
Only game I'll be watching is Vikings vs Packers.

I hope AP send the packers home with their cheese.

Last I heard though,Vikings QB Christian Ponder has a bruised elbow,so who knows.

Ravens over Colts

+1 even though I'd like the exact opposite to happen.

Big FSU fan here and I'll let you know Ponders played through way worse in his college years. He played through broken ribs, had to have bursa sac drained before a game. This was in the 09/10 seasons. He's a great qb, just very injury prone
 
Bengals over Houston (bad time to be exposed Texans)
Green Bay over the Vikings (green bay will go up two touchdowns quickly)
Ravens over Indy (ed reed will intercept Luck for two picks)
Seahawks over Redskins (seahawks continue their 40+ point rampage)
 
The only thing I really want is for somebody to win that the Denver Broncos will be more able to beat when they play I think on the 12th of January.

Otherwise these are my picks:

The Houston Texans have not been playing well recently but it seems like they should be able to win at home in a playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The way AP has been playing it may be a repeat of what happened in Minnesota and it may depend on the weather also. Very bad weather might favor a strong running attack. But I am assuming that the Green Bay Packers can beat the Minnesota Vikings at home.

The Baltimore Ravens have also not be playing all that well and just because Ray Lewis may be back might not mean all that much. He may not be the player he once was. Still, the Indy Colts have a rookie qb and are a young team. Over the years it seems like young teams do not do all that well when they reach the playoffs. I would like to see the Colts win but I am going to have to assume that the Baltimore Ravens can win a playoff game at home.

I kind of like the Washington Redskins with RG III and Morris the terrific 6th round draft choice great running back. On the other hand I also like Russell Wilson. It is a home game for the Redskins and RG III should be more healthy. And Seattle may not play as well away from home as they do at home. I am going to go with the Redskins.

The BIGGEST FSU fan here, and I can't wait until the media gets off this guys back and realizes he is better than alot of other starters out there. Minnesota has NO receivers and Rudolph only shows up >50% of the time too.

BTW: EJ Manuel will be a steal of a draft pick this spring too.
 
I never make predictions as you just never know in sports. Any dog can have their day. So, I will simply list who I wiill be rooting for

Texans
Vikings
Ravens
Seattle
 
My Predictions:

Vikes/Pack: Want the Vikes to win, but they'll choke as usual.

I agree. I am a Denver fan but I cant understand how Ponder has become such a punching bag for the know it alls on tv or radio. I see him playing pretty well and has no weapons other than Peterson. I think he will be just fine and continue to get better especially if they can draft or trade for a good receiver or tight end to help him.
 
AP is unbelieveable. Super popular up here.

Last few weeks other teams have heavily targeted AP and he STIL has great games.
