Kevin's (Lotus') predictions:

Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers:

Yeah, Carolina might have the home field advantage in this game, and yeah, they might have won their last three games, but take a look at who they have beaten the past three weeks: Arizona on a last-second FG, Detroit at home by only 6, and a hapless Giants team by 13. Not very strong. Dallas, as stagnant as their offense looked against the Saints, will find a way to win this game. Both of these teams stumbled into the playoffs (regardless of Carolina's 3-game win streak), and whoever wins this game will not get past the second-round. I give this game to Dallas because of the Parcells factor. They will triumph over Carolina 17-14.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans:

This is a tough one and it will surely be a good game, I believe. History says Baltimore will win this one, having beat the Titans by two touchdowns in Tennessee when they won the Super Bowl, but I find it hard to go against co-MVP Steve McNair. But in the end, it always seems like a great defense (Baltimore) triumphs over a great offense (Tennessee). That's what happened in last year's Super Bowl: Tampa just made Oakland look silly. Also, the Ravens have Jamal Lewis, a guy that can plow through anybody's defense. So, I'll go with Baltimore in this game, beating Tennessee 16-10.

Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks:

I find it hard to against Green Bay in this one. Green Bay has an emotionally motivated Brett Favre, home field advantage, and Ahman Green. Seattle is 2-6 on the road and both of those road wins came against sub-.500 teams. Also, Seattle has not won a playoff game since the 1980s, when they were in the AFC (Thank you Miz). These teams played earlier this year, and Green Bay ruined Seattle's shit, by a score of something like 35-13. The only thing Seattle has going for them in this game is their spiffy uniforms, and that won't be enough to counter attack Green Bay's powerful offense. Green Bay wins this one running away, 38-21.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos:

Peyton Manning will finally get over the hump of not winning a playoff game this season. Denver might have beaten Indy by two touchdowns in the regular season, but Indianapolis will not let that happen two times in a row. They will come out firing and light up the score board against the Broncos. Denver will keep pace in the first half, but Peyton and Marvin will be too much for Denver to keep up with in the 3^rd and 4^th Quarters. Indianapolis will win this one going away, 45-27.

Oh, and if you don't like all the pretty colors, too bad, because I don't feel like changing them like I did in that one thread.
