Upsets in the Playoffs much?

Both of Saturdays games in the NFL Wild Card Round were complete upsets that no one saw coming at all. When the Seahawk beat the Saints, 41-36 at home, everyone in Las Vegas lost money. The Seahawk offense was just clicking every time they got the ball, while the Saints were not them selves when they had the football. I think the major factor in the game was the amount of noise that Seahawk fans make at Quest Field.
When the Colts lost to the Jets by 1 point it was unbelieable. I couldnt believe how well the Jets drove the ball down field and kicked the game winning field goal with 00:00 left on the clock. Being a Patriot fan, I was rooting for the Colts, becuase I knew the Patriots could beat the Colts easier. When Adam Vinateri kicked a 50 yard field goal with less than a minute left in the game, I thought for sure that the Colts would win the game. But no, the Jets drove down field and kick a field goal.

Sundays games were how I thought they would be even though I picked the Chiefs over the Ravens and the Eagles over the Packers.
This weeks games will be some of the best games to watch. The Steelers and Ravens game will be all about which defense plays better. The Jets and Patriots game will be who's offense can move the ball and score points and if the Jets defense can stop Tom Brady and the Patriot offense. The Packers and Falcons game will be a good rounded game to watch, while the Seahawks and Bears game could be a blow out by either team.

My Predictions: Patriots over Jets, Steelers over Ravens (not by much though), Packers over Falcons, and the Seahawks over the Bears.
