Saturday-Wild Card Games on the Gridiron

   Hello guys, I can not believe that we are in the Playoffs. This season has went by fast, and now it is time to see the best of the best play each other.

   Saints @ Seahawks. Well this is the first game that is on schedule for the Playoffs. Many teams think that the Seahaks shouldn't be here, and that a team like the Buccaneers or Giants could of filled that spot to make it a better game. Now of course that I am going with the Saints in this game, but the Seahawks may win in Special teams, and turnovers to help them out. They will need to play all dimensions of the game. This game rests on Matt Hasselbeck's shoulders. He needs to make good decisions, and keep Drew Brees on the sidelines. Score anytime that you have a chance. The Seahawks do have an advantage. Weather is supposed to be around 40 degrees and rainy. The Saints offense has lost their two leading running backs, and now are banking on Reggie Bush on being a starter. Even though the Seahawks have the advantage, I don't think that it will stop the Saints from flying right past them. My Pick= Saints 34-17

   Jets @ Colts. This game should be a great game to watch tonight. There are two very focussed teams, looking to bash into each other. Rex Ryan has lost all seven match ups against the Colts, dating back to when he was with the Ravens, when Manning has played the whole game. Rex Ryan seems very focussed on beating Peyton Manning and the Colts. The Colts need to establish a run game against this tough defense. Manning has been on a roll, winning his last four games to get the Colts into the Playoffs. The Colts defense is looking very good. Only giving up an average of 66.0 yards rushing in the last three games. The Jets have given up an average of 101.0 yards in the last three games. The Colts defense has looked very good. This is going to be a very close game. Peyton Manning will be reading the defense, so I wouldn't blitz too many. Now Manning doesn't have all of his targets, but he can make any wide out look good. Sanchez will need to have a game like how he was playing last playoffs. He has good weapons, and will need to use them. If the Colts defense will stop the Jets rushing attack I see them winning. My Pick= Colts 27-23
