NFL Playoff Picks

Someday the Bears wil be inlcuded in my playoff picks, if only because even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.

Check back next week, when I backtrack from this week's (wrong) picks and predict anew!

NFC

Green Bay vs. Minnesota -- Packers 31-24. Favre in his element "the frozen tundra" of Green Bay (boy I hate how overused that phrase is on NFL broadcasts) throws for three TDs in Green Bay's third win of the season over Minnesota.

St. Louis vs. Seattle -- Seattle 28-24. Shaun Alexander takes it to St. Louis' weak run defense, allowing Matt Hasselbeck to throw less than 25 times, and Seattle breaks the 3-time loser jinx.

AFC

Indianapolis vs. Denver -- Indianapolis 38-17. The Colts in a repeat of last year (crushed by Denver in a meaningless finale, they return the favor in the first round of the playoffs). Manning, James and Brandon Stokely shred Champ Bailey and Co.'s defense.

New York Jets vs. San Diego -- Chargers 21-20. Brees and LT do enough against the Jets' underrated defense to eke out a win at home.
