NFL Playoffs, week 1

Okay, I know, I know. My regular season picks sucked. But here's where I'll really shine.

Redskins @ Buccaneers - 'Skins by 7 (I won't let you forget that TB is one of just 4 reasons that SF won't be drafting RB the RB of RB's.)

Jaguars @ Patriots - Jags by 10 (The Jaguars are 12-4, a better record than five out of eight division leaders, including their hosts, for crying out loud. Easy schedule? Not remotely. They beat Seattle (13-3), Pittsburgh (11-5), and Cincinatti (11-5), lost to Indianapolis (14-1) twice, and lost to Denver (13-3) once. Everybody oohs and aahs about Tampa's 11-5, which was compiled almost entirely on nobodies and one bad call. When are the Jags going to get some credit? Maybe when they beat the defending NFL champions, whose "playoff experience" doesn't change the fact that they're not the better team.)

Panthers @ Giants - Giants by 13 (The Panthers are coming out of one of the most overrated divisions in the history of football. The NFC South got to play the AFC East and the NFC North in non-division play. Not to be confused with the NFC East and the AFC North, which are very tough, the AFC East and NFC North are lame, meaning the NFC South is lamer than it looks too.)

Steelers @ Bengals - Steelers by 4 (Healthy Steelers beat Bengals, it's just that simple.)

Ahh, controversy. Especially that whole Patriots thing. Everybody seems to take it for granted that they'll win. It's not that easy. Not against the Jaguars.

Nice job looking at the schedule for Jags and Giants, but I still have the Pats and the Panthers to win.
