The NFL playoffs
This weekend, eight NFL teams will begin the hunt for the ultimate prize, the Lombardy Trophy.
The Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy was first named for the former Green Bay Packers coach/general manager in 1971, when the game was still known as the AFL-NFL World Championship. It is considered to be the most prestigious award in the National Football League. Traditionally, the NFL Commissioner presents the Trophy to the owner of the winning team on Super Bowl Sunday at a field ceremony in his honor.
Wild Card Weekend begins on Saturday, January 1. 6 when the Indianapolis Colts host the Kansas City Chiefs at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC television.
The second game with start time at 8:00 pm ET and will feature the Seattle Seahawks against the Dallas Cowboys.
The second part of this wild card weekend will begin on Sunday, January 1. 7 when the New York Jets visit the New England Patriots with a 1:00 p.m. kickoff time on CBS sports.
The second game will be played by the NY Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles. The start time will be at 4:30 pm on Fox sports television.
Predictions:
Indianapolis over Kansas City by 7
The Colts have too much offense with Manning leading the way, and I don’t think the Chiefs can outplay the Colts. Final score Colts-28 Chiefs-21.
Seattle over Dallas by 3
Seattle’s running game will be the story in this game, Tony Romo doesn’t have the experience to win in the playoffs, and in the last two games the pressure got to him. Final score Seattle – 24 Dallas -21.
New England over NY Jets by 7
One word, Tom Brady, the Patriots’ experience and home field advantage will be too much for the Jets, who will know in this game who the better team is. Final pats- 21 Jets -14.
Philadelphia over the NY Giants by 7
The Eagles have caught fire with Jeff Garcia, who replaced the injured Donovan McNabb, and they’re on a roll. The Giants have too many problems on the field and in the locker room.
Final Eagles -24 Giants- 17.
