1. Houston over Cincinnati 20-16
-The Bengals are 9-0 against non-playoff teams, and 0-7 against playoff teams. Houston ground game will provide enough offense to allow the Texans to move on.

2. New Orleans over Detroit 38-27
-Saints are undefeated at home, and I doubt Detroit can make the proper adjustments to improve on their performance in the Dome from a few weeks back.

3. New York over Atlanta 34-21
-I have my doubts that the Falcons can travel up to New York and continue to put up the kind of points that they've been putting up lately. I think Eli has a huge game.

4. Pittsburgh over Denver 17-10
-Everyone is assuming that Pittsburgh is going to destroy this team, but the Steelers are really banged up. It'll be closer than most think, imo.

I don't think Denver finds the endzone, to be honest with you.

I don't think their offense does, actually. I predict a pick-six.

ETA: Roethlisberger hasn't looked comfortable throwing the ball at all since getting hurt.

1. Cincy beats Houston 24-14
Bengals defense limits rushing attack and AJ Green has big primetime game

2. New Orleans over Detroit 41-24 -Saints roll in a game for passing buffs...both Brees and Stafford go for over 300 yrds passing but Detroit turnovers allow Saints to blow it open in 2nd half

3. Falcons over Giants 21-17
Big game for Matt Ryan as the Falcons pull off a small upset

4. Pittsburgh over Denver 27-3
Tebow Time, enough said!

27, on Houston's D with a rookie QB that has been sick and not playing well, come on.

Cincy might win, but more like 16-13 type of game.

Houston 24
Bengals 13

Saints 38
Lions 20

New York 27
Atlanta 24

- I think ATL has a decent shot for an upset here. They will keep it close because of their run game IMO. The Giants aren't exactly a scary team, they beat the slumping Jets and Cowboys the last two weeks. I agree that Eli will have a big day. Also, the Giants are better at getting pressure on the QB than ATL is.

Pittsburgh 20
Denver 13

- I don't see either offense doing much in this game. I think the Steelers and the Broncos both score defensive touchdowns in this one. Pittsburgh scores late and Tebow throws an interception in a last ditch effort.

1. Houston.
For the same reasons you gave.

2. Saints.
Home game. Saints are rolling.

3. Atlanta.
3 weeks ago we were laughing at the giants. Plus, I think I heard today that most of Atlantas losses came to division winners. 2 by the Saints and 1 by the Packers. Nit sure the others. New York lost twice to Washington.

4. Pittsburg.
Denver has to be one of the worst playoff teams ever. I think seattle last year was better.
