Week 1 Playoff Picks

My Week 1 of the 2010 NFL Playoffs are here.

Game 1. New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks

My Pick=New Orleans Saints

The Seahawks are the first team in NFL history to make the playoffs without a winning record and that is will it will end. Unfortunately the Seahawks have to play the current Super Bowl Champs. The Saints do have some running problems with Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory out, but they have Drew Brees. Brees will spread out the ball and I have the Saints winning 28 to 10

Game 2. New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts

My Pick=Indianapolis Colts

Rematch of last season's AFC championship game. The Jets are looking for revenge.  The Colts are playing at home. Their running game has been playing very well lately and the team much more experience than the Jets. Peyton Manning is having a great year but he has been overlooked by Tom Brady. The Colts have had a ton of injuries on offense this year and Manning has still managed to win 10 games this year. Colts 27-20

Game 3. Baltimore Ravens vs. Kansas City Chiefs

My Pick=Baltimore Ravens

Overall the Ravens are just the better team.The Ravens defense will overpower the Chiefs offensive line. The Ravens will stop the run and pressure Matt Cassel all day long. Flacco will dump the ball off to Ray Rice and Rice will have a huge game, running the ball and catching the ball. Ravens win 24-14

Game 4. Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

My Pick=Green Bay Packers

Clay Matthews is the key to this game. If Matthews continues to pressure Michael Vick and stop him from running the ball, the Packers will win. Aaron Rodgers has been playing very well lately and I believe he will continue that throughout the playoffs. The Packers won week 1 of the regular season against the Eagles and they should win week 1 of the postseason against the Eagles. It will be a close game but Packers win this one 27-24
