Last week I went 1-3 and Alex went 3-1. Here are the picks for the last week before the Superbowl.
I have posted the times and days in which each game will be played, as well as the seed number each team is and what channel it will be on. Welcome to the playoffs!
The Playoff seeding is simple. In each conference there are 6 seeds, the top 2 seeds ( #1 and #2) do not play week 1 and instead will play a win from week 1 during week 2. In the AFC The seeding is as follows:
AFC NFC
#1 Colts #1 Saints
#2 Chargers #2 Vikings
#3 Patriots #3 Cowboys
#4 Bengals #4 Cardinals
#5 Jets #5 Packers
#6 Ravens #6 Eagles
The matchups for week 1 are separated by conference. In each conference in week 1, the #6 and #3 seeds will play each other, and the #4 and #5 seeds will play each other.
The #1 seed in each conference will play the LOWEST remaining seed in the playoffs next week. In other words, if the #6 seed beats #3 and #4 beats #5, the #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seed, #6. The #2 seed will play the only other team remaining.
With that out of the way, here are your Wildcard Weekend matchups. Please make note that the seed numbers will be color coordinated. Bold Red seeds will represent the AFC teams and Bold Blue seeds will represent the NFC teams. Also, the games are listed in the order in which they will be played.

The Jets look strong, best defense in the league. They have been getting some help to win their games, and they are going to need a LOT this week to get it done. I'm going with them tho, what the hell.
Jets win, 20-17.

The Colts have won every game in which they haven't pulled their starters and this game will be no different. The Colts will be fired up to end the Jets season for real this time, and will not let a rookie coach and rookie QB stop them. The Jets defense will need to bring their "A" game to have any chance of a victory.
Colts win, 21-14

The Vikings looked incredible defensively last week against Dallas, shutting down the arguable the strongest team in the league, and the Saints couldn't be happier. Home-field is going to play a HUGE part in this game, and its hard for me to pick against the Saints, but I'm going to have to. The Vikings just look TOO damn good.
Vikings win, 20-13.

The Vikings played great at home against Dallas last week, but now will be faced with a much bigger task at New Orleans in the city's most important game ever. If you thought the crowd was loud last week, wait till you see this week. The Saints offense looks incredible and will likely be headed to the Super Bowl thanks to Drew Brees.
Saints win, 34-24
