And now, to the real tournament:

Tennessee 30 - Ravens 13: I just don't think the Ravens are that great. Sure, they have a fine runner, but the Titans can stop that, and then what do they have on offense? Of course, the defense is great, and for the Titans to score 30 points they will have to get some turnovers, but the Ravens can't win if they can't score. I could be wrong, but looking at what the Broncos did to the Colts two weeks ago, and knowing that the Ravens barely edged out the Bengals, I think they're the weakest team in the AFC playoffs. They'd be a two seed in the NFC, though!

Denver 441 - Colts 0: Dungy plus Manning plus Playoffs equals bust. They have to prove they can get up for the playoffs before I believe they can win one game. And, as good as Vanderjagt has been, he's sure to miss one in the playoffs, like Gary Andersen did with the Vikings, sending the Falcons to the SB. If the Colts do get one win, they won't get two. I'd be shocked if they made the SB.

Tennessee 28 - Chiefs 24: That Chief D is looking like they did last year, and that's going to kill them in the playoffs. And, again, the Titans should take a quality running back out of the game. With the experience of the Titans, I think they are the second best playoff team in football.

New England 27 - Denver 10: New England is just good. They don't make mistakes, they have quality players, they are at home. Best team in the league.

NE 17 - Tennessee 7: Read above. Tennessee is good, but not THAT good. Unless NE makes a mistake in preparation, which seems unlikely, they can beat anyone at home.

NE 24 - Philly 10: Umm, best team in the league, certainly better than Philly at a neutral site. Not sure what else to say.

Well, that's that. The AFC playoffs should be some of the most exciting football we've ever seen. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Happy New Year's all!
