NFL Playoff Predictions: Drew Brees and The Impact Players For Wild Card Weekend

Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

The Saints travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs. The Seahawks had the 27th-ranked pass defense during the regular season, something Drew Brees is definitely aware of.

The Saints are on a mission to return to the Super Bowl, and the Seahawks should not be much of a problem.

Look for Brees to have a big day in Seattle and the Saints to move onto the divisional round.

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers threw over 400 yards with four touchdowns in his first playoff appearance last season in a 51-45 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Rodgers is back, and he and the Packers will be in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in what should be an exciting matchup.

Rodgers is a young star in this league, and he will have a big game against the Eagles and lead the sixth-seed Packers to the second round.

LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has been a crucial part of the offense all season long.

With Clay Matthews likely to chase around Michael Vick all day, McCoy is going to be key in the passing game.

McCoy had 78 receptions during the season, the most among running backs.

Look for McCoy to have a solid game on the ground, but to be a big factor in the passing game.

Dwayne Bowe, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are home against the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs.

Since the Ravens are successful against the run, the Chiefs are going to have to turn to Matt Cassel and Dwayne Bowe.

The Ravens' pass defense was suspect during the regular season, and Cassel and Bowe could take advantage of that.

Look for the league leader in touchdown receptions to have a big game in Kansas City this weekend.
