I know I promised an in-depth playoff preview but a lot happened in between then and now. As I have run out of time, I will simply give you my picks for tonight’s wildcard games.
Last Week: 11-5
(SAFE PICKS: 2-3)
Regular Season: 148-108
(SAFE PICKS: 58-37)
Kansas City (9-7, 3-5 away)
at
Indianapolis (12-4, 8-0 home)
The Chiefs are lucky to be in the playoffs but they have Larry Johnson, one of the best running backs in the league, and thus have a chance to exploit the Colts’ fatal weakness—run defense. The problem is, if the Colts stack the box to stop the run, will Trent Green be able to lead the Chiefs down the field through the air? I’m not convinced he can. He has looked pretty shaky the last couple weeks. I’ll take the Colts simply because I don’t trust the Chiefs’ passing game.
My Pick: Colts win and move to 9-0 at home
Dallas (9-7, 5-3 away)
at
Seattle (9-7, 5-3 home)
This looks like it could be a wild game. With the way that these two defenses have struggled as of late, I expect a pretty high scoring game. Seattle’s secondary is in shambles because of injuries and the Cowboys have completely lost their confidence defensively. Expect big games for Deion Branch and Darrell Jackson, and, on the other side of the field, Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn. It’s going to be close but…
My Pick: I’ll take Seattle here since they have the home-field advantage
