Wild Card Weekend

The NFL regular season is over and now we start the playoffs, a one and done tournament.  The NFL playoffs should be interesting as some new and talented teams are in the postseason.

Picks:
1) The Houston Texans came into this season as one of the NFL's best teams but have faltered as of late, slipping from a #1 to a #3 seed last weekend, they have to get it back together.  The Cincinnati Bengals have come together and are some what surprising.  I'll pick the Houston Texans (-4.5) to get back on track and beat the Cincinnati Bengals.  Houston Texans -4.5 
2)  The Minnesota Vikings played a good game last week (Adrian Peterson was 9 yards short of the single-season rushing record), now they have a rematch with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau.  I'll go with the Green Bay Packers (-7.5) in this rematch with the Minnesota Vikings at home in the cold, maybe snow.  Green Bay Packers -7.5
3) In a matchup of two teams which called Baltimore home, the Indianapolis Colts come in to play the Baltimore Ravens.  The Colts have had a good season behind rookie quarterback Andrew Luck, the Ravens are a good team despite a short home loosing streak.  I'm going to pick an upset in this one, I'll take the Indianapolis Colts (+7) and Andrew Luck over the Baltimore Ravens with Joe Flacco who will come up just short.  Indianapolis Colts +7 
4) Two rookie quarterbacks suare off in Washington, the Seattle Seahawks have been surprising rookie Russell Wilson although not the same team on the road.  Robert Griffin III has been hurt and might not be 100%.  The Seattle Seahawks are fast and I think despite being on the road they'll get to RGIII and the Washington Redskins option,  I'll pick the Seahawks (-3) on the road over the Redskins.  Seattle Seahawks -3
