The NFL playoffs
This weekend eight NFL teams will start a quest for the ultimate prize, the Lombardy Trophy.
The Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy was first named to honor the former Green Bay Packers Coach/General Manager in 1971, when the game was still known as the AFL-NFL World Championship. It is considered to be the National Football League's most prestigious award. Traditionally, the NFL Commissioner presents the Trophy to the owner of the winning team on Super Bowl Sunday at a field ceremony in their honor.
The Wild-card weekend starts Saturday Jan. 6th as the Indianapolis Colts host the Kansas City Chiefs at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on NBC television.
The second game with a start time of 8:00 p.m. Eastern time and will showcase the Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys.
The second part of this Wild-card weekend will start Sunday Jan. 7th as the New York Jets visit The New England Patriots with a game start time of 1:00 p.m. on CBS sports.
The second game will have the NY Giants who will play at the Philadelphia Eagles starting time will be 4:30 p.m. on Fox sports television.
Predictions:
Indianapolis over Kansas City by 7
The Colts have too much offense with Manning at the helm, and I don't think the Chiefs can outscore the Colts. Final score Colts - 28 Chiefs -21.
Seattle over Dallas by 3
The Seattle running game will be the story in this game, Tony Romo doesn't have the experience it takes to win in the playoffs, and in the last two games the pressure got to him. Final score Seattle - 24 Dallas -21.
New England over NY Jets by 7
One word Tom Brady, the Pats experience and home field advantage will be too much for the Jets who will know in this game who is the better team. Final Pats- 21 Jets -14.
Philadelphia over the NY Giants by 7
The Eagles have caught fire under Jeff Garcia who replaced the injured Donovan McNabb and are on a roll. The Giants have too many problems on the field and in the locker room.
Final Eagles -24 Giants- 17.
