11916 The NFL Regular season is now over. Now it is time for NFL Playoffs...This is my predictions about Wildcard weekend...On Saturday, Atlanta will visit Arizona and Indianapolis will visit San Diego. On Sunday, Balitimore will visit Miami and Phily will visit Minnesota. Saturday- *Atlanta @ Arizona:* Arizona has been very impressive at home this year. But, horrible last couple of weeks.Arizona is 6-2 at home this year with losses to The NY Giants and Vikings at home. Atlanta on the other hand has been very good and improved this year. Atlanta has struggled on the road this year. 3-5 on the road this year. I think the X-Factor for Arizona is Anquan Boldin. Atlanta has a very young secondary and while Fitzgereld is getting alot of the attention Boldin can just shoot out of no where. For Atlanta the X-Factor is simply Matt Ryan...The team wins when he takes care of the ball. My prediction is Arizona wins in a close one 24-23! Atlanta is good...AT HOME.Not on the road. Arizona is Really good at Home and they will win. Saturday- *Indianapolis @ San Diego:* These two teams already met in San Diego earlier this year. Indy won 23-20 with Adam V. hitting a 51-yard field goal with time running out. Since then, the Chargers have gone 4-1 and the Colts have gone 5-0 (9 Straight). Both teams are hot at the right time. The X-Factor for San Diego is LT. Will the Old LT show up like he did against Denver or the Injuried LT? It all depends on LT. LT hasn't had a big game vs. the Colts EVER. His longest run against the Colts in his career is 23 yards. The X-Factor for the Colts is the guy going up against LT. Bob Sanders. If Bob Sanders is healthy and doesn't give up big plays...Colts should be fine. My prediction is a Colts victory(Ya excepted it lol). I say Colts win the best game of the weekend by the score of 27-23. I think Manning will lead the Colts down by 3 with about 3 Minutes to go and he gets a TD to win it. Sunday- *Baltimore @ Miami:* These two teams already met in Miami this season. Balitimore Won 27-13. Balitimore has been very good on the road and Miami has been very decent at home. Miami is coming off a huge win to get in. Balitmore just got off a 27-7 win over the Jags. The X-Factor for Balitimore is Joe Flacco. How will the young kid in his 1st playoff game of his career do? It is all on him this week. For Miami it is Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. In the first meeting between these teams, they did not get the running game to work. They need to find out a way to get it done. My prediction is very much the same as the first meeting. I have the Ravens winning 31-20! I think Joe Flacco will do fine and I think Ray Lewis and that Balitmore Defense will get it done. Sunday- *Philly @ Minnesota:* Philly is kind of lucky to be in this situtation. Philly got in by Blowing out the Cowboys and getting help from the Texans and the Raiders. But, they are in. Minnesota beat G-Men to lock up their division. T. Jackson has played better on the road this year then at home. He has to get rid of all the boo's and just play. McNabb and company have had good playoff success in his NFL Career. The X-Factor for a Vikings win is how well T. Jackson plays...I think if he is struggling...Just hand it off to Adrian Peterson...T. Jackson has to get off to a good start for them to win. Philly just has to control the tempo of the game and RUN the BALL. Something Reid hasn't let his team do. The X-Factor is Brian Westbrook. He has to get it going. My prediciton is a Philly win. I have Philly winning by the score of 28-17. I think they will shut down AP and McNabb will have a great game. Well, those are my predictions. Tell me what ya think... Goooooooooooooooo COLTS! true 2008-12-30T14:29:04Z 75992 1 2008-12-30T14:29:04Z
