Playoff time
The NFL playoffs start today. Here are my quick predictions for round one.
St Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks, Seahawks favored by 4. Even though I picked Seattle before the season to make the Super Bowl, like everyone else I have little confidence in them at this point. But while Holmgren isn't a great coach, and Hasselbeck isn't a great QB, they are better than Martz and Bulger. Plus there's the revenge factor from losing both regular season games to St Louis.
Seattle 24, St Louis 17
NY Jets at San Diego Chargers, Chargers favored by 7. I didn't watch SD play at all this year, so I can't talk about them with much certainty, but I suspect that they're not this good. But NY is only decent, and it's in SD. I could see either team win this, so I'll take the Jets covering and losing.
Chargers 23, Jets 20
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers, Packers favored by 6. Stick a fork in Minnesota they're done.
Packers 31, Vikings 10
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts, Colts favored by 10. The Broncos won't blow out the Colts, but they have a better chance to win than most people seem to think. I don't like Plummer in a road playoff game, but Manning and Dungy have horrible playoff reps too, and Denver will be looking for revenge for last year. Being overly specific, Colts win on a bad Plummer interception near the end of the game.
