Playoffs?

I'm personally a huge college football fan and bowl season was special and had some pretty exciting, entertaining games, but the NFL playoffs have had their share of excitement so far as well.

First up was Wildcard weekend.

Saturday: The Texans won easily against the Bengals and the Saints handled the Lions in the dome. The Texans got their first ever playoff win and are moving on to face the Ravens. The Saints rebounded from tough first round loss to the Seahawks from last season. The Saints are only two years removed from a Superbowl and they might have a shot to get back, but first up they'll have to go through Candlestick park and the San Fransisco 49ers. Let's hope the light's stay on this time. 

Sunday: The first game of the day was a blowout. The Giants ran over, under and around the Falcons. A team that had been shouldered by quarterback Eli Manning got a good effort from their defense and held the Falcons to a scoreless outing. I mean, technically Atlanta didn't score those two points, Manning did. At any rate, 24-2 is pretty ugly. The Giants will get the chance to put their defense to the test against one of the league's best in Aaron Rodgers in their next outing as they travel to take on the Packers. And of course, the thriller of the weekend, Tebow. That's all that needs to be said. The Broncos had a 20 point second quarter and took the game away from the Steelers. It took overtime, but just barely. Next up the Broncos will leave the Mile-high city (which I'm sure is more than mile high about this victory) to take on the Patriots in Foxboro. Will the Tebow time magic last? It'll be worth watching to see.

Who's got the best shot to make a run in the playoffs? I'll say New Orleans v. Green Bay for the NFC and New England v. Baltimore for the AFC. I'll check back in with these picks next week and see how it's turned out.
