Well, here’s my Wild Card picks (none look like very good games...):

Bills
Bengals
Jags
Niners
Vikes
Cowboys

Super Bowl favorites: Niners beat the Bills.

Funny? That's hilarious ...

Since Da Packers, 'sprained their collective uterus' this season and are OUT (@#$%^&*!) I'll have to go with Ditka's pick for the WIN this Wildcard Weekend:

[Dr. Sivana]

Rams to repeat! Oh, wait . . .

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Giants / Vikings could be interesting because a lot of people think their 13-4 record is nice but they're really not that good.

Potentially the best game is Monday night Cowboys at the Bucs. Prescot is interception prone, and the Cowboys don't win on grass fields. Add to that Brady has never lost to the Cowboys in his career. That last one makes me almost want to pick Dallas... Almost!

[p. henry]

Agree!

I use regular scoring stats to rank the teams in the playoffs.

Giants / Vikings: 16th and 15th ranked. Ho hum...

Cowboys at the Bucs: 5th and 25th ranked. What the freak happened to the Bucs? I think Tom Brady lost it with his wife AND football. He’s had a great run, but he should hang it up I think. Looks like it will eventually be a boring game. The Cowboys should win handily with their strong running game and strong defense even if Prescott’s off the mark.

I’m a cowboy fan. Brady owns us.

Don’t pick the cowboys, you’ll lose your money.

"No. I didn't. Expect to be here, that is. Impy, didn't expect me on his thread"

Having a hard time with the Jags and Bucs games, feel like each could go either way. Pretty confident in the other 4 picks.

Jags
49er’s
Bills
Vikings
Bungals
Bucs

Giants / Vikings could be interesting because a lot of people think their 13-4 record is nice but they're really not that good.

The Vikings and Giants were fighting most of the year for the best record for bad team. The Vikings pulled away in the second half of the season. I like the Vikings' chances at home. Neither team is very good and both have a negative point differential.

Neither one is as negative as the Bucs. I get the grass field thing (Dallas doesn't play well on them), but MN point differential is -3, NY is -6, and TB is -45. They are a bad team that snuck into the playoffs because they are in a bad division. (Fun fact - they have the worst point differential in that bad division.) I don't understand the love they are getting. Dallas struggled down the stretch, but Tampa Bay is the worst team the playoffs have seen in a while. I'm a Cowboys hater, so go Bucs, but I'm not holding my breath.
