Naw. I'm an Eagles fan, but after the Cowboys loss and all the first-stringers being taken out, I can't find the will to care. Next week, however . . . next week is a whole 'nother ball of wax. I'll be at that game, hoping my Giants-fan boyfriend doesn't get killed by my fellow Philadelphians . . .Aeson said:
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

Since the Giants refused to humor me by losing to the Redskins, the Pack didn't get in. But they did smack around the Bears, which is always fun.
Wild Card round Picks:
AFC
Colts over Chiefs; whoever has the ball last wins, as no one can stop the Colts offense, and the Colts defense can't stop a decent running game, let alone LJ
Patriots over Jets; Jets are a year early, and mostly snuck in off of a soft schedule. Pats aren't what they were two years ago, but are still pretty good, and the best team playing next weekend.
NFC
Seahawks over Cowboys; neither team finished very strongly, but Seahawks are at home and have more upside.
Eagles over Giants; Eagles are hottest team in the NFC, G-men backed into the playoffs at 8-8.

With all due respect to Mr. Peyton Manning...I'm picking the Chiefs. Peyton hasn't won a big game in the postseason (or at least not more than one) and will have to carry a team that will be shredded by KC's potent running game.
Philly will crush the Giants- the Eagles are playing well and the Giants? They're playing like they're on life support. And hallucinating. With concussions.
Seahawks vs Cowboys is a you-pick-'em. Both teams have huge potential, and both have played some lousy games this year. If Shaun Alexander gets on track, the Cowboys will lose. If either TO or TG gets in synch with Romo, the Seahawks could get lit up.
Patriots & Jets are also a you-pick-'em, but because both teams are playing good (not inconsistent) ball. I'm pretty sure that Tom Brady has icewater in his veins, so I'm giving them the edge.
