>On Saturday afternoon, the 11-5 Saints travel to Seattle to take on the 7-9 NFC West champion Seahawks. Yes, a team with four more victories must travel on the road, and a team that didn't even break .500 gets a home playoff game. The Saints should return their Super Bowl rings from last year if they can't put Seattle away. Go with the Saints

>On Saturday night, the 11-5 Jets travel to Lucas Oil stadium to take on the ominously-reborn 10-6 Indy Colts. The Colts are getting healthy, and the Jets are banged up. Go with the Colts, who should win with unexpected ease.
>
>On Sunday afternoon, the 12-4 Ravens travel to Arrowhead to take on the 10-6 AFC West Champ KC Chiefs. This is a huge game for the Chiefs, for their GM Scott Paoli, and for head coach Todd Haley. Look for Charlie Weis to come up with a game plan to frustrate the Ravens defense, and look for KC's defense to surprise Joe Flacco with a series of blitz packages. Go with the Chiefs in the mild upset.

>And in the late game on Sunday, the 10-6 Packers travel to Lincoln Financial Field to play the suddenly beatable 10-6 Eagles. Look for Aaron Rodgers to have a field day, and look for the Packers defense to knock Michael Vick down the entire day. Go with the Packers.

>So that's it....Saints, Colts, Chiefs, and Packers. For the first time in NFL history, during the wild card weekend, NO home team has a better regular season record than the visiting club.

With you all the way except ... the Chiefs is believable but I think it is a homer pick. The Ravens are very very tough but an odd off-field event may make a big difference :

Should be a heck of a game anyway.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
