Welcome to the Playoffs! This article will be updated after each round is completed. You will see the games being predicted by the experts as wel! Good luck to all and enjoy.

Wild Card Weekend:
Well here we are! We are the Season 23 playoffs and wild card weekend is amongst us. We already had one game played, but that doesn't mean we cannot break down the other games! So here goes.

6.) Indianapolis Colts (10-6)	3.) Cincinnati Bengals (11-5)

Dypko: These two teams did not play during the regular season, so it makes it hard to predict what's going to happen. But by the way these two have been playing all season long, I really like the way Fuzz has handled the Bengals offense and defense. I expect this game to be really close, the Colts barely made it into the playoffs with a win over the Patriots so their energy might be a little spent. I'm going with the Bengals to win this game by a touchdown or so.
Dypko Prediction: Bengals 27, Colts 23

Pauly: TBA
Pauly Prediction: Colts

Result:  TBP

5.) Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)	4.) Houston Texans (11-5)

Dypko: The Steelers could have easily been the #1 seed if it wasn't for a couple close loses. Everyone seems to forget that out of everyone in the AFC playoffs, Coach Ron is the only one with a Super Bowl ring. The Veteran is going to make people remember his name. The Steelers beat the Texans a few weeks ago 17-3, and I expect to see the same kind of defensive dominance in this game. Coach KCKeith will not have an answer for Big Ben and that passing attack, or Troy P and that defense. Steelers win.
Dypko Prediction: Steelers 27, Texans 17

Pauly: TBA
Pauly Prediction: Texans

Result: TBP

6.) Carolina Panthers (11-5)	3.) Atlanta Falcons (11-5)

Dypko: The cliche being used is that you cannot beat a team 3 times in one season. I completely agree with this philosophy. The Falcons beat the Panthers twice this season, and both games were extremely close. The Panthers are arguably the hottest team in the MOF, and everyone is starting to jump on their bandwagon. I'm not quite on the bandwagon yet, maybe one foot in. I do expect the Panthers to come out and beat the Falcons here and move on to NY next week.
Dypko Prediction: Panthers 34, Falcons 27

5.) New Orleans Saints (11-5)	4.) Seattle Seahawks (8-8)

Dypko: These two coaches have developed a bit of a rivalry over the past few weeks, and its great for the league! The story told is that the Saints were down by 3 points and had the ball inside Seattle territory. Instead of kicking a FG to win the game, the Saints took two knees to make Seattle use their remaining timeouts. Then the Saints, instead of kicking a FG, threw a touchdown to win the game with no time left! Wow, so Seattle did not take kindly to that. Well I don't think Seattle will have to worry about that this time. I think the Saints will come out fighting from the kickoff and take this game by storm.
Dypko Prediction: Saints 38, Seahawks 24
