NFL Breakdowns: Playoff Match Ups

Seattle vs New Orleans

The 7-9, yes 7-9 Seattle Seahawks host the reigning Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

That should really be the only thing I should write about the game, but I can't be lazy. New Orleans hasn't been playing as well as last year on both sides of the ball. Drew Brees has been off this year, the running game lacks and the defense hasn't been as opportunistic as they were. With that being said, Seattle is awful and sucks and New Orleans should handle them pretty easily.

Winner: Saints

Green Bay vs Eagles
I don't know who to root for in this game. I like Vick's explosive plays but I want to see BMack's old man happy. The Packers are the most dangerous 6 seed probably ever. They have a healthy defense and a good offense, the only thing is the lack of a running game. Time possession will be key in this game, and that could be the Packers achillies heel. Also, mike Vick hasn't been playing that well recently, and if the Packers Blitzing D can wrangle Vick and stop the big play Green bay should win.

Winner: Packers

Jets vs Colts
Peyton manning can only take a team so far. It's really impressive what he was able to do this year without a healthy team. I was thinking of the Brady vs Manning debate and the main difference is coaching, I think Brady and Bellichick are a package deal which means that I really think Brady's performance would go down significantly without Bill where in Manning's case coaches can be interchangeable without making that much a difference. Either way, both are amazing. But in this case, I don't think Manning and his team will be able to hold it together against the Jets.

Winner: Jets

KC vs Baltimore
I like what the Chiefs have been able to do this year. It's impressive, however, I think the Ravens are just a better team. They are more physical, have a better running game, and Ed Reed who had 8 picks and 10 games. I think this is an open and shut case.

Winner: Ravens
