Playoffs?!

Sprinkle some ground pepper and sea salt on it, cuz the regular season is done. Fantasy football fanatics can shut their mouths, and Giants fans can look forward to next year when Eli Manning will continue to produce turnovers at a shockingly high rate. Oh, and their running backs can keep giving up the ball too.
So, that leaves us in week 17, the start of the 2010-11 NFL Playoffs.
Saturday, January 8.
Jets @. Colts: We've seen this one before. Rewind back to the AFC Championship from a year ago. Sanchez led a wonderful first half, while Peyton drew up one of his classic comeback performances. The Jets have added to both sides of the ball, while the Colts have lost on both sides. Sure, Joseph Addai and Donald Brown may be healthy, but they won't be as healthy as the Jet's defense. Prediction: 24-13 Jets.
Saints @. Seahawks: The Seahawks were a losing team this season, which doesn't help their chances at beating the returning champs. Sure, Brees has thrown too many interceptions this year, but that's fine. With a healthy Reggie and a Nawlins' swagger, the Saints roll through this one easily. 38-10 Saints
Sunday, January 9.
Ravens @ Cheifs: The griddy no good smash mouth defense goes head to head with the pretty boy image of Matt Cassel and fat Charlie "Florida has better burgers" Weis. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed want it more than ever, and I think the luck of the Cheifs is about to run out. Close game during the first half, but that scary Ravens defense will prove too much to handle. 17-14 Ravens
Packers @ Eagles: This will be the marquee game of the weekend. Sure, the Packers snuck in, but they have been one of the better teams all season. A healthy Rodgers will outplay a lately-shaky Vick. Upset of the weekend. Vick can't recognize blitz packages, and Clay Matthews brings it better than anybody. High scoring game, in favor of the Pack. 38-34 Packers
