I thought it might be fun to try to predict the winner, and final score, of all of the wild card games this coming weekend, and then to try to project the rest of the playoffs up to the super bowl. Might help us get our minds off the depressing season the Jets just had anyway! Here's mine: NFL Wild Card Weekend Saturday, Jan. 3 NFC: 4:35 p.m. (ET) Arizona at Carolina: Panthers 38, Cards 10 AFC: 8:15 p.m. (ET) Baltimore at Pittsburgh: Steelers 23, Ravens 20 Sunday, Jan. 4 AFC: 1:05 p.m. (ET) Cincinnati at Indianapolis: Colts 27, Bengals 22 NFC: 4:40 p.m. (ET) Detroit at Dallas: Cowboys 30, Lions 24 NFL Divisional Playoffs Saturday, Jan. 10 AFC: 4:35 p.m. (ET) Indianapolis at New England: Pats 26, Colts 20 NFC: 8:15 p.m. (ET) Carolina at Seattle: Panthers 16, Seahawks 13 Sunday, Jan. 11 NFC: 1:05 p.m. (ET) Dallas at Green Bay: Packers 31, Cowboys 20 AFC: 4:40 p.m. (ET) Pittsburgh at Denver: Broncos 27, Steelers 17 AFC Championship Game Pats 30, Broncos 27 NFC Championship Game Packers 38, Panthers 20 SUPER BOWL Packers 37, Patriots 27
My prediction:This thread gets moved You have the Panthers beating the Cardnials and the Seahawks? I can almost guarntee you they won't beat the Seahawks if they get past Arizona
I think the Panthers should be heavy favorites over the Cards (since they're down to their 3rd string QB), and the Panthers beating the Seahawks was my one big upset. ...Why should this thread get moved?
Also predict thread moved. We have an NFL thread for this reason this is the Jets section for jets talk.
Wild-card: Panthers 17 Cards 9 Cowboys 28 Lions 20 Steelers 24 Ravens 16 Bengals 30 Colts 27 Divisional round Seahawks 27 Panthers 3 Packers 31 Cowboys 28 Broncos 31 Steelers 24 Patriots 30 Bengals 17 Conference championship Seahawks 24 Packers 23 Broncos 31 Patriots 27 Super Bowl Seahawks 31 Broncos 13
Winners first weekend of games: Arizona, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Detroit It's absolutely stupid to predict anything further since it will automatically be wrong if you mess up on the first round.
Yeah because no contest ever does anything like that. My NCAA March Madness pool always goes one round at a time.
I know, but imagine if you get it right beyond the wild card games? Much harder I know, but still easier than trying to predict the super bowl winner in the preseason. You can always post again after the divisional games are set, and after the championship games are set, but why not try swinging for the fences now, just for fun?
It's impossible for the Patriots to be eliminated from the playoffs by the Steelers in the divisional round.

Is there any word on the severity of the Leveon Bell injury? Didn't he hurt his knee Sunday? If he is out I can't see the Steelers advancing, just my opinion though.
Wild Card Steelers over Ravens Colts over Bengals Panthers over Cardinals Lions over Cowboys Divisional Round Patriots over Colts Broncos over Steelers Seahawks over Lions Packers over Panthers Championship Round Seahawks over Packers Patriots over Broncos Super Bowl Seahawks over Patriots
I think he means if the Steelers win they would play in Denver, so therefore it is impossible for them to beat NE in the divisional round.
My only prediction is that either the Ravens or Steelers will beat the Patriots in Foxboro. Whoever wins the wildcard game.
this weekend: panthers, ravens, colts, cowboys. looks most like a pats-seahawks bowl. i do think dallas has a good shot to beat sea though!
