RealHeavyD's Wild Card Weekend Predictions

realheavyd · 01-07-2012, 05:18 AM

AFC

9-7 Cincinnati Bengals (6th Seed) at 10-6 Houston Texans (3rd Seed)
Vegas Odds: Houston -4

This is my Upset Special of the Wild Card Weekend. I can see the Bengals overtaking the Texans in this one since Houston limped into the playoffs, after securing the division title in the AFC South, by losing their last 3 games including a 16-19 decision to the league worst 2-14 Colts in Indianapolis in week 16. The matchup could feature the first ever head-to-head showdown of starting rookie quarterbacks going against one another in the history of the NFL, if T.J. Yates is healthy enough to start for the Texans versus Andy Dalton for the Bengals.

The Saints score is close to my prediction. Lions will have to confuse Brees, play spectacular on offense, and get their penalties down to nothing. I know they are fully capable of scoring but the other two, penalties and confusing Brees...If they can't do that it will get out of hand before halftime.
