WILDCARD ROUND

Cincinnati Bengals (9-7) at Houston Texans (10-6)

Spread: Texans by 4

This is pretty much the most unpredictable playoff game ever, since both teams are pretty atrocious. The Bengals blew a 9 point lead with 5 minutes to go against the Texans a month ago, in Cincinnati. The Texans scored a TD as time expired to win by 1 and gave us pretty much no idea of which team is better. The Texans have not won a game since then, and have lost to the Colts. Both teams are starting rookie QBs, but Dalton has considerably more experience since he's been starting since Week 1. The difference pretty much comes down to the Texans having Andre Johnson (hobbled or not) and the Bengals not really having anybody I feel comfortable betting on. AJ Green is good but he's still a rookie. Then again, it's hard to beat the same team twice, and I'm not sure I want to live in a world where the Texans have won a playoff game. Then again again, the Bengals are cursed in the playoffs. I have no idea why I wrote so much when I will probably end up sleeping through this game and have no idea what I'm talking about. COIN FLIP!

Texans win 23-17

Detroit Lions (10-6) at New Orleans Saints (13-3)
Spread: Saints by 11

This one seems pretty cut and dry. I can't see the Saints losing at home, where they have already beaten Detroit pretty handily this season. Detroit is simply too undisciplined to make a run this season.

Saints win 42-24

Atlanta Falcons (10-6) at New York Giants (9-7)
Spread: Giants by 3

That spread means this game is pretty much a Pick Em, but I don't think that's the case because I think the Giants are a better team and the Falcons are frauds who can't win on the road. They lost to ****ing Tampa Bay on the road. Both teams have crappy pass defenses that will probably get eaten up, but the Giants balanced pass rush gives them the edge over the Falcons, who only have John Abraham.

Giants win 27-21

Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) at Denver Broncos (8-8)
Spread: Steelers by 8

A few scores from Steelers games this season. 13-9 and 14-3 over the Browns. 13-9 over the Chiefs. 17-13 over the Jaguars. 23-20 over the Colts. The Steelers play down to the their competition. They let crappy teams stay close (except for the atrocious Rams). Fortunately for them, when it comes time for those teams to put together a game winning drive, they trot out Colt McCoy, Tyler Palko, Curtis Painter and Blaine Gabbert, who is literally afraid to be tackled. Enter TEBOW TIME. Tebow, as much as I hate him, has taken a page out of The Sanchize's book and put together some amazing 4th quarter drives this year, and this seems like the perfect setting for him to pull out another one. The Broncos D is literally better than an All-Star team (using that term loosely) of the previous 4 teams would be and they get to face a Steelers team led by a hobbled Big Ben that's starting Mewelde Moore at RB. Or Isaac Redman. Either way it's not good. The game will be low scoring and close, and Pissburgh will get Tebow'd and I will have a hearty laugh.

*UPSET SPECIAL*
Broncos win 16-14
