Okay...

You get 4 selections.

Pick the winner of each matchup.

Don't pick who you hope wins, pick who you think wins. :sneaky:

Let's see if collectively we can nail it!

I don't think it happens.

But, I can see why the picks are leaning that way.

I love playoff football. Yeah, the Rams are out... But I will ENJOY the next month of exceptional football.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...-have-one-huge-advantage-on-wild-card-weekend

Of the four playoff games over Wild Card Weekend, the home team is the underdog in three of them. One of the biggest reasons: The quarterbacks for the visiting teams have combined for 37 postseason starts while their home-team counterparts have ... zero.

The breakdown:

Chiefs vs. Texans
Alex Smith: 3 postseason starts, 1-2 record; Brian Hoyer: 0 starts.

Steelers vs. Bengals
Ben Roethlisberger: 15 starts, 10-5 record, 2-1 in the Super Bowl; AJ McCarron: 0 starts.

Seahawks vs. Vikings
Russell Wilson: 8 starts, 6-2 record, 1-1 in the Super Bowl; Teddy Bridgewater: 0 starts.

Packers vs. Redskins
Aaron Rodgers: 11 starts, 6-5 record, 1-0 in the Super Bowl; Kirk Cousins: 0 starts*.

So yeah, long odds for the home teams. Then again, who had the Texans winning the division after their 3-5 start? Or the Bengals overcoming the loss of Andy Dalton? Or the Vikings outlasting the Packers in the NFC North? Or the Redskins winning five of six to win their division

I chose KC, PIT, GB, and MIN
KC, PIT, and GB are the favorites, but I think the Vikings are better than what most people give them credit for. Ultimately, I think it comes down to which Seahawks team comes to play - the team we saw two weeks ago against the Rams or the team we saw last we against the Cards. I think we see the first team because they'll be on the road and playing a temperature high in the single digits with wind gusts up to 25mph.

The only home team I picked is MINN.

I have to admit that I underestimated them the weeh before they played the Rams. I thought the Rams would take that game on the road and it sure didn't work out that way.

I'm right there with you on the picks.

My brother is a Vikings fan so I had a pretty good idea that the would not be easy but I thought we'd win and we should have.

The game they played against the seagals they were missing the middle of their defense, I don't see the same thing happening this weekend.
