Wild Card Weekend

As a Jets fan, the best part of NFL Playoffs is not worrying about how your team will embarrass themselves this week. Here are my picks:

Cardinals at Panthers

Let's not sugarcoat it - the Panthers are only here because someone from the NFC South had be make it to the Playoffs. That being said, the Cardinals aren't exactly in great shape with their third-string QB Ryan Lindley. This game's not exactly easy to pick as I foresee and ugly one, but Cam Newton should be able to take his team back to the Divisional Playoffs.

Ravens at Steelers

The NFC North showdown. The two teams split their season matchups, winning at their respective homes decisively. Even though the Ravens are away, I think they can come out on top for one big reason: Le'Veon Bell. With Bell out, the Steelers will have to rely on Big Ben's passing game and Antonio Brown to score.  The Ravens' D will come expecting that. Plus, Haloti Ngata will be back and hungry.

Bengals at Colts

Let me preface this by saying Dalton screwed me over in fantasy - I mean so did Brady, but I'll take the blame for drafting a New England Patriot. Regardless, the Colts shut out the Bengals 27-0 earlier this season and nothing's changed to convince me it won't be another Colts win. Cinci will have to focus on their run game with A.J. Green listed as doubtful. The Colts' top-ranked passing offense will also cause problems for the Bengals.

Last but not least
Lions at Cowboys

This really boils down to whether or not the Lions' defense will be able to stop DeMarco Murray, and they will be. Worst case, Ndamukong Suh can just step on someone again - oops, I mean maybe his feet will be numb again. Detroit also has a few more offensive options to work with. If Romo wants to lead Dem Boyz out of the Wild Card round, he'll have to get the ball to Dez, which hasn't happened much this season.  But, who knows, it's not like the Cowboys are known for choking or anything....O, wait.
