The NFC is especially wide open -- any one of the six teams are a realistic pick for the Super Bowl, and any one of the six could be one-and-done because they have at least one glaring issue.
Packers over Cards (Packers have won 7 of 8, the Cards are like 3-3 in their last 6..momentum wins in the first round)
Cowboys over Eagles (The Eagles will play better this week, but still won't have the running game to beat the Cowboys)
Patriots over Ravens (Close with Welker out and Brady banged up, but I don't think NE loses a home playoff game)
Jets over Bengals (Won't be a blowout, but if they can run enough to help Sanchez avoid mistakes, they'll still win)
Vikings over Cowboys (Favre always struggles against the Cowboys, but Peterson should carry them to a win..they have the run game the Eagles don't)
Packers over Saints (Again, momentum..if the Saints come out sluggish, I could see the Packers building an early lead and holding on)
Jets over Colts (Just to piss off RP, and I think the story here would be great -- the Colts were struggling with the Jets even before they pulled their starters)
Chargers over Patriots (Phil Rivers. So hot right now. So hot.)
Packers over Vikings (I think the Vikings want no part of the Packers for a third time. The ultimate NFC Championship match up that would be ratings gold for Fox. The Packers have shown they can shut down Peterson, and their defense is playing a hell of a lot better than the last time they played the Vikings. This is the Packers' Super Bowl.)
Chargers over Jets (Not even really close, I think.)
Chargers over Packers (Just too many weapons for the Packers to defend, and I think after all the emotion that went along with beating the Vikings would cause the Packers to come out a little flat, and the hot streak has to eventually end. This is just the Chargers' year, IMO)
