Chris J. Nelson's NFL Wild Card Round Game Predictions

I finished the regular season with a strong 13-3 showing in Week 17, and will now be moving on to playoff picks.

Last week's record: 13-3
Season record: 173-83 (67.6%)

Bengals over Jets

Both teams have Top 10 defenses, so I'm going to go with the team that has the better and more experienced offense. I like Carson Palmer in the frigid cold over sunny California native (and rookie) Mark Sanchez.

Cowboys over Eagles

Dallas has seemingly cured their December woes and is simply on fire right now, so I like them to dominate the Eagles just like they did last week.

Ravens over Patriots

New England is beat up right now, and I like Baltimore's defense a lot better. I expect Joe Flacco to be able to do enough on offense to win this one.

Packers over Cardinals

While it's true the Cardinals didn't really try to beat Green Bay next week, it's hard to ignore the Packers' dominance and the momentum they gained coming into this week. I expect a repeat of Week 17.
