NFL Playoff Picks-Wildcard Round

I finished last week 10-6, and will end the regular season with a record of 163-93, about 64%. Against the spread my record would most likely not have been as good, but we'll see maybe next year. This weekend's playoff games:

AFC Today-Cincinnati at Houston. This seems like an evenly matched game in many ways, but I like the Bengals, despite an 0-7 record against playoff teams and a loss to the Texans. Pick: Cincinnati

NFC Today-Detroit at New Orleans. Seems destined for another shootout, and it very well may be. Detroit is a sleeper pick of many, but no way can I go against Drew Brees and the Saints. Pick: New Orleans

NFC Tomorrow-Atlanta at NY Giants. The most intriguing game of the four, I think. Giants seem to be peaking at the right time. Pick: NY Giants

AFC Tomorrow-Pittsburgh at Denver. Looking for a low-scoring game here. Denver's defense is good, Pittsburgh's is better. Hobbling Roethlisberger and missing Mendenhall will hurt Steelers, but not enough that they'll lose. Pick: Pittsburgh
