Wild Card weekend promises to deliver everything the BCS has not—namely games decided in the fourth quarter.
How they'll play out is anyone's guess, but if nothing else, the 2008 NFL Playoffs have some of the best storylines in the history of postseason sport.
The reigning Super Bowl champions are in prime position to defend their title. But the unbeaten Patriots snatched home-field advantage from the Colts by becoming the first team in NFL history to finish the regular season 16-0.
Jacksonville can tote the rock all the way to Glendale. However, San Diego is still home to the best running back in the game. Now, can the Chargers shake the postseason ghost of Marty Schottenheimer?
In the NFC, the Redskins are the feel good story of the year after rallying around the loss of a teammate to make the postseason with four consecutive wins. Will the star-studded Cowboys regain their midseason form—or is it time for Green Bay's ageless wonder to finally get a win in Big D?
We've rounded up Bleacher Report's top contributors from the 2007 NFL regular season to provide analysis and predictions. You can find their playoff picks here throughout the next five weeks...
