NFL: Wildcard Weekend Predictions

Washington Redskins Washington Redskins (9-7)
Seattle Seahawks Seattle Seahawks (10-6)
Through all the adversity that the Redskins have had to overcome this season, I commend them on rallying to make the playoffs but Seattle is the much better team in this match-up. On a nuetral field, Washington would have a better chance but the fans at Quest field will have that place rockin' and Seattle will put up a lot of points.
Final Score: Washington 17, Seattle 34

Jacksonville Jaguars Jacksonville Jaguars (11-5)

Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6)
If you're not a fan of physical, hardnose football then this game is not for the weak of heart. These two teams met earlier this month and Jacksonville proved that they could match physicality with a team such as Pittsburgh but I see things going a little differently this time. Either way, no team has a decided edge over the other but Pittsburgh has revenge on their mind and until Jacksonville proves they can win in the playoffs then I'm taking the Steelers in this one
Final Score: Jacksonsville 24, Pittsburgh 31

New York Giants New York Giants (10-6)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7)
Coming off an emotional loss from the Patriots, the Giants head to Tampa Bay in a tough first round match up. Jeff Garcia is a catylyst for the change that's going on down there in Tampa and he's got his team fired up for a playoff run. The only question that remains is whether or not coach John Gruden made the right decision in resting his guys early and limping into the playoffs with two consecutive losses. I think it comes back to bite him in the end and the Giants escape Tampa by a field goal.
Final Score: New York 20, Tampa Bay 17

Tennessee Titans Tennessee Titans (10-6)

San Diego Chargers San Diego Chargers (11-5)
Maybe it's just me but I don't feel that Tennessee deserves to be here over Cleveland. Although none of that matters, Tennessee and San Diego are set to square off in a rematch from earlier this year that saw San Diego come out victorious and I expect the same result. L.T. is running hard and Phillip Rivers is limiting his mistakes. As long as they keep the same formula that has allowed them to make the playoffs after no one even thought they would, I see no one stopping them...especially Tennessee.
Final Score: Tennessee 17, San Diego 27
