NFL Playoff Preview

Round one of the NFL postseason presents a few intriguing matchups. Here's what you can expect this weekend:

• New Orleans over Seattle--You don't have to be Jimmy the Greek to nail this one. The defending champs should walk all over the 7-9 Seahawks. I don't gamble anymore, but if I did I'd bet the farm on Drew Brees and the Saints. Marty Crane is about to have a terrible weekend.
• Indy over NY Jets--Tough call here. Both teams are watered-down versions of last year's playoff squads. Both teams have frustrated fans this season. Both teams are still dangerous. I like the Jets running game and aggressive style of defense, but I love Peyton Manning in January. Plus, it's a home game for the Colts and Joseph Addai is back in the starting line up. Look for Indy to "put its best foot forward" against Rex Ryan's Jets. Another Rex Ryan foot joke! Get it? Now that's comedy!
• Baltimore over KC--If I keep picking against the Chiefs, I'll be right sooner or later. This may shock you, but I really don't like the Chiefs. And of course, the Ravens were my preseason Super Bowl pick. Easy win on the road for Baltimore.
• Green Bay over Philly--This matchup is basically a coin toss, but I think the Packers' defense will be the difference. I also think that Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson are pretty beat up. To be fair, I'm picking with my heart too, as I love watching Aaron Rodgers play QB. I really want to see him play in the next round, and I think I will.
