Like your picks. I have to go with Carolina over Dallas though. I know Dallas won the first meeting, but I think Carolina has improved - Dallas does not look sharp heading into next week. Denver and Greenbay have to love their draws!

The Ravens are going to suprise Tenesee. These teams know each other very well and I expect a very tough, hard heating game.

Don't like the home teams much this weekend do you?

Funny note: This is the second year in a row the Eagles have gone into the last weekend of the season needing a win and a loss by someone else to get home field advantage after blowing it a week or two earlier and it's worked out for them.

My picks are:

Baltimore, Denver, Green Bay, and Dallas.

Baltimore doesn't need to surprise Tennessee, they've beaten them 5 straight.

AFC:
Tenessee at Baltimore

Tennessee. Yes, in the NFL, you must have both an offense and a defense. The Super Bowl-winning Ravens were a fluke.

Denver at Indy

Indy. The Colts didn't show up for the first game. That won't happen twice.

NFC:
Seattle at Green Bay

Green Bay. If I weren't a hopeless Packers fan, I'd note that this looks a lot like last year (Packers are a big favorite at home vs. a team they're not all that much better than), but Cheesehead status allows me to ignore this.

Dallas at Carolina

Carolina. The Cowboys really aren't good enough to be in the playoffs, previous victory over the Panthers notwithstanding.

How is having a 2000 yard rusher not having an offense? Sure their passing game is not that great, but they can run the ball with the best of them.

If they had an average passing game, they'd be okay offensively. But they have the #32 pass offense in the NFL, which gives them the worst offense of any playoff team. I don't think you can consistently beat good teams without passing well.

I admit that I don't know much about football, but can someone tell me who the Chief's will be playing next week? I assume it has to do with who wins this Sunday, but what are the scenarios?
