NFL WildCard Weekend!
Both the Vikings and the Cardinals are in danger of having their playoff games blacked out. What a f*cking disgrace to have this much trouble selling out a home playoff game.

All four home teams are dogs this weekend which is pretty funny.
Predictions:
Falcons vs Cardinals
The Cardinals are bad. They are 6-0 within their division (49ers, Seahawks, Rams lol) but 3-7 outside of it. I'm expecting Michael Turner to have a huge game as the coaches will likely want to keep the Cardinal offense off the field by running the ball. Falcons win.
Colts vs Chargers
The Colts are the hottest team in the league right now, riding a 9 game win streak. These two teams know each other well and Peyton Manning has laid some eggs vs the Chargers recently, but I expect the MVP to lead his team to a victory. Plus LT and Antonio Gates are banged up. Colts win.
Baltimore vs Miami
This is a tough game to pick. Both teams are 9-2 in their last 11 games. Baltimore has already won in Miami this year but they also have a rookie QB which usually means a loss in the playoffs. Baltimore has a great defense as usual but Chad Pennington doesn't turn the ball over. Miami wins a very close game.
Eagles vs Vikings
Everyone is picking the Eagles to win this game which I don't understand. Yeah they crushed Dallas last week in a de facto playoff game, but that doesn't change the fact that they are one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL. The formula for this game is simple: if good Philly shows up, they win, if bad Philly shows up, they lose. I'll take good Philly. Eagles win.
