PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS

Wild Card Round
AFC -
Steelers over Colts
         Dolphins over Broncos

NFC - Buccaneers over Falcons
         Packers over Panthers

Divisional Round
AFC -
Jets over Steelers
         Titans over Dolphins

NFC - Giants over Buccaneers
         Packers over Cardinals

Championships
AFC -
Titans over Jets

NFC - Packers over Giants

Super Bowl
Packers over Titans

Yes, in the end I still have the Packers going to the Super Bowl and the Titans going to the Super Bowl. Why? Well to put it simple, and I mean this is a real unbiased way, I think the Packers are being over looked because of their record. The Giants were only 10-6 last season coming into the playoffs.

At 5-5, the Packers are still very capable of going to the playoffs and to the Super Bowl. Especially if they play the way they did against the Bears for the rest of the season. If I would have done my analysis after last week, the Packers wouldn't be there.
