UPDATED: NFL Wild Card Predictions

[JRP1994]

Now it should work. Go!

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Steelers, colts, lions, panthers.

[King]

Colts, Cowboys, Panthers

Ravens in a tossup and IMO the winner of that game storms its way to the SuperBowl.

[The Dowager Mod]

Suh just got a one game suspension, sweeeet.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Steelers, Colts, Cowboys, Panthers.

[NewYorkExpress]

Steelers, Colts, Cardinals, Lions

No way in Hell am I betting on Tony Romo in a playoff game.

[DemPGH]

Assuming Bell plays for the Steelers, he will certainly not be 100%.

Didn't vote, but since the home teams seem like the picks, you know there will be an "upset" somewhere.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Steelers, Colts, Cardinals, Lions

No way in Hell am I betting on Tony Romo in a playoff game.

But you'll bet on the Cardinals who are down to their third string quarterback.

NYE picking against the Cowboys is a driving force to their success this year.

(Something tells the Cowboys will flirt with an 0-16 season...)

[Gass3268]

Steelers, Colts, Cowboys, Panthers.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Steelers, Colts, Cowboys, Panthers.

[Keystone Phil]

Wildcard winners: Steelers, Colts, Lions, Panthers

Has anyone even seen the Panthers play this year? Arizona is the right pick in this game even if John McCain was playing QB.

[The Dowager Mod]

Ravens,Colts, Cowboys, Panthers btw.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Ravens, Colts, Cowboys, Panthers.

Yes I have seen the Panthers play every game. Besides the middle of the year when we were crap (I admit that,) we played alright. We got better as the year got along the last 4 weeks have been fun (besides the Bucs game.) We are playing to our potential now just hope we keep on going.

We had a crap pot load of injuries and personal deals.  Cam was out both weeks we played the Bucs and he was banged up early in the year. If he was in his best shape we could have won by at least 10 in the Tampa games and probably by a lot more.  Plus Hardy being an idiot put the D in a whole but our D line is going, our LB'ers are in the zone, and our secondary is getting better. Roman Harper helped like I figured he would.

Arizona deserves our full respect and attention though. Their coach is great and he is a coach's coach. Their D is okay and their skill guys are good. However their QB situation is a negative.  They don't have a Kurt Warner esque QB this time like they did in 2009 to save their ass.

We owe them one after our epic collapse of 2009 in the playoffs. But we shouldn't overlook them. I hope we are practicing hard this week because we will need it.

Anyways my picks:


Steelers= GOW right here most likely. A lot depends on which two of these teams shows up. If the Steelers play lights out it will be a rout but if Cocky Steelers show up they will have a fight. Ravens get up for Pittsburgh.

The Ravens need a figure head to rally behind their run. That's what helped them in 2013. But that might not be enough.


Bengals= Upset.  Luck has none of his namesake in the playoffs. Last year= got owned by Cheifs for instance. It's like one figurehead said "Everyone is crowning Luck as a hall of fame QB yet he can't win a playoff game."  Cincinnati has been playing good as of late, and Denver was a victim to that. Dalton's in a similar position as Luck is. One of them will win, it just depends on which one.

Cowboys= I hate to make this pick but Dallas is hot right now. Detroit's too inconsistent.  Play great week one, get powned by us week 2, play great for a stretch loose to Buffalo and New England and the latter's case epically bad. Plus Suh being an idiot hurt them too.  Detroit has a good defense but Suh is a heck of a motor for them.


Panthers= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8u7px_GzWQ

The Panthers' total defense was ranked 10th, Arizona's was ranked 24th.
The Panthers' total offense was ranked 16th, Arizona's was ranked 24th.

I think you haven't seen the Panthers play this year.

DAL: 69% ----- DET: 31%

Ravens (better defense and the steelers don't have Bell)

Well, at the beginning of the season the Panthers defense (specially pass defense) was terrible. although they got a lot better.

Cardinals offense just stink right now and IMO have no chance against Carolina.
