Wild week in the playoffs, and I didn't do too well. I think the thing about picking in the playoffs is that all the teams there deserve to be there, and so many times the games come down to intangibles that are so hard to predict. You would think, for example, that the Falcons would have the edge in that category playing at home after a bye, but you would be mistaken.
Pittsburgh Steelers def. Baltimore Ravens
This is one of those times when nothing I said was incorrect except the final outcome. Turnovers killed this game for the Ravens, they knew who the Steelers were and they let them off the hook.
Green Bay Packers def. Atlanta Falcons
The biggest surprise of this game was the lack of pressure on the quarterback by Atlanta, and conversely that the Green Bay line held up. Funny that the Atlanta team I was predicting all year finally showed up, only when they were playing the Packers.
Chicago Bears def. Seattle Seahawks
I am finally one hundred percent, completely right about a playoff game, including the outcome. The comeback near the end was a little disconcerting, but the Bears took care of the worst team in history to make the playoffs.
New York Jets def. New England Patriots
Rex Ryan really has Belichick's number, I guess.
