I think the Texans are going to pull this game out easily. I don't trust Andy Dalton or the Bengals' offense to overcome the Texans' D and I really can't see the Texans' offense being stopped. You mention Dalton becoming lethal, but in the last 5 games (month of December), he's thrown 4 TDs and 5 INTs. To me, that's not lethal. Hell, that's not even good play. And I can't see it getting better against the Texans.

I think the Colts are going to be victorious over Baltimore. They're limping into the playoffs after losing the last 4 of 5 games while Indy has won 5 of the last 6. While I think it's a nice boost for the Ravens' D to play extra hard for Ray Lewis, I see Luck out-playing Flacco and the Colts advancing to Round 2.

Packers are going to win, no argument there!

I have Seattle winning this match-up. I really, really like the Seahawks' O with the combo of Marshawn Lynch at RB and Russell Wilson at QB. I think this game is going to be a high-scoring affair, but the main thing that scares me off of Washington is RGIII's 9 fumbles on the year compared to Wilson's 2. I think Seattle wins a close game.

While the Texans haven't been the best team in the last 4 weeks, they did win the division with a victory over Indianapolis in week 15 at home. The Texans have a pretty solid defense consisting of Watt, Joseph, Jackson and Manning. Dalton-Green isn't as lethal as you make it out to be, especially against a strong D like the Texans. Speaking of good WR-QB duos, what about Andre Johnson-Matt Schaub? And Arian Foster > BJGE too. Texans are going to win this match-up and force Dalton into an INT machine.

While the experience factor benefits Baltimore, I don't think experience is going to win this game. Andrew Luck is a better QB than Joe Flacco already imo. You have not only a very good rookie QB who turned around a 2-win team, but the Colts are coming into the playoffs with momentum which is huge. Baltimore almost tossed away the division title at the end!

Wilson struggled on the road, but he has turned it around. The first two months of the season, Wilson had 10 TDs, 8 INT. In November & December, he's had only 2 INT and 16 TDs. Talk about a turn-around! While the 'skins are hot, so are the 'hawks winning 7 of 8 and the last 5 games. Wilson is gonna bring SEA a W.

Can you tell me who the Bengals beat of note? They're an overrated team that has benefited from a weak schedule late. Since week 10, the Bengals have only beat 1 team with an offense that was ranked higher than 20th. The team? Baltimore, who was playing their back-ups so the win doesn't mean anything. Cincy isn't a strong team while the Texans are still a very good team are going to win pretty easily, especially at home.

Indy had 81 yds rushing, that wasn't insignificant. Plus, they're a hot team and they're living off of playing for Chuck and remaining Chuckstrong. That's definitely a huge plus for their team & with how the Ravens are limping into the playoffs, it doesn't help anything. I'll take a team that is pretty hot, playing for their coach & has an excellent QB on their side. Indy wins.

I wouldn't call RGIII being a more accomplished passer. He has 6 less TDs, way more fumbles and look at what Wilson did against NE (3 TDs/0 INT in a 24-23 win). Doesn't look like Lynch carries the team. 12 non-Wilson rush TDs for SEA while WAS has 15 non-RGIII rush TDs. Also, Washington is 30th in OPP passing yds. Look for Wilson to have a big game & get the W.
