Wild Card Weekend Matchups
11 years ago
-During the Playoffs you are welcome to note us your selections in advance if you know you might be away for the weekend but we'd prefer if you could just respond to the journal with your picks. (Journal will be posted every Monday)
-The Playoffs will use score predictions as a tie-breaker so be sure to include those with every matchup.
-Please list all selections in one comment (Or in a continuation of your original comment). They can be as in-depth or as simple as you want. You are free to change your picks up until the first kickoff of that night of the week. Once the first kickoff for Saturday, or Sunday occurs no more predictions or alterations for that day will be allowed. If you miss a day feel free to make predictions for the other day.
-At the end of Wild Card Weekend the 8 best results move into the bracketed Divisional Round!
-Finally, have fun. This group is here so you can enjoy furries and football =P

Here are your Wildcard Weekend matchups. Remember to include score predictions with each matchup, and per the standard rules you can change your score predictions up until the first kickoff of each Game Day.
Saturday January 3rd:
Cardinals(11-5) @ Panthers(7-8-1)
-Panthers emerge as the Best team from the sloppy NFC South while the Cardinals let the NFC West title slip from their grasp.
Ravens(10-6) @ Steelers(11-5)
-AFC North rivalry, Steelers have won every playoff game against the Ravens but split the season series 1-1 this year.
Sunday January 4th:
Bengals(10-5-1) @ Colts(11-5)
-Colts blanked the Bengals 27-0 in October this season and have a current 7-game home winning streak over Cincinnati. Can Dalton overcome and finally get his first playoff win?
Lions(11-5) @ Cowboys(12-4)
-Romo finally looks to have shaped up and led the Cowboys to the playoffs again finally, and with a division title to boot. Lions are currently on a two-game win streak over the 'Boys.

FA+

- I predict a low scoring contest. Cards are running on their third-string QB and so many injuries. Won't be enough to win a round in the playoffs.
Steelers over Ravens, 24-20
Colts over Bengals, 30-24
- Colts are better than the Bengals. Bengals haven't shown that they can win in the playoffs. Something happens to Andy Dalton in the playoffs.
Cowboys over Lions, 24-23
- ...are either of these teams good? Are either of these teams bad?
Steelers over Ravens, 35-17
Bengals over Colts, 21-17
Cowboys over Lions, 34-23
Steelers over Ravens, 30-21
Bengals over Colts, 24-23
Cowboys over Lions, 35-24
Steelers to win 21-14
Colts to win 35-28
Cowboys to win 31-28
Steelers over the Ravens: 24 to 21
Colts over the Bengals: 35 to 14
Cowboys over the Lions: 34 to 28
Steelers over the Ravens 24-23
Colts over the Bengals 35-20
Cowboys over the Lions 28-21
Steelers over Ravens 30-24
Colts over Bengals 31-17
Cowboys over Lions 27-21
(True, the Panthers are under 500 and I don't expect them to go very far, but the Cardinals' QB mess is going to be very tough to overcome)
Steelers over Ravens, 27-24
(this could go either way, honestly)
Colts over Bengals, 27-10
(cannot trust the Bengals in the playoffs as far as I can throw them, honestly)
Lions over Cowboys, 27-26
(I think the Lions' defense + Stafford/Megatron is going to be enough to resume the Cowboys' annual tradition of disappointment in the playoffs)
Ravens over Steelers 24-21 (Le'Veon Bell injury is huge)
Colts over Bengals 35-17
Cowboys over Lions 31-24
