2007 NFL Wild Card Picks

2007 NFL Wild Card Picks

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks

Eddie - The Redskins are on a huge momentum swing and Seattle will find it hard to find offense. Skins win easily.



Fred - Seattle had the easiest schedule this year. The Skins are playing out of their minds right now. Surprisingly, Todd Collins was the missing piece for a mistake-free pass offense. Skins continue the 4 game winning streak and get a 5th one. Upset pick #1!



Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers

Eddie - Big Ben without Parker is like... well.. Big Ben without Parker. This doesn't look good for you Pittsburgh fans. Jacksonville comes in and takes the win.



Fred – What a great wild card game! The Steelers, with the #1 defense, against the Jags, who have the #2 rush offense. Not counting last week, the Jags won the last 6 of 7, only losing to the Colts 25-28 in Indy. The Steelers started this year on fire, but have cooled off quite a bit…and without Fast Willie, there’s no way they can beat the Jags.



New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eddie - The New York Giants did more than lose against the Patriots. They won back their self-esteem. Watch out playoffs... this could be a team to be reckoned with.



Fred – The toughest pick this week. Nobody is talking about the Bucs, who have the #3 defense in the NFL. Everyone is talking about the Giants because of the good game they had against the Patriots last week. Here’s the deal. The last 7 teams to play Patriots have lost the following week’s game. Sorry Coughlin, Eli makes a few stupid mistakes and loses this one.



Tennessee Titans at San Diego Chargers

Eddie - San Diego is looking HOT and the Titans are NOT.



Fred - Winning the last 6 games, Uncle Mo (a.k.a. Momentum) is in the Chargers favor. Titans #1 WR Roydell Williams is out with injury for the playoffs. LT has over 200 total yards and the Chargers easily win this one.

Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles

Eddie - The last game of the season can sometimes be tricky because teams want to go out on a good note. I think the Eagles will want this game more.



Fred - Philly’s at home. They get the “W”.



Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

Eddie - The Bengals have a lot of soul searching to do this off-season and it starts with this game.



Fred - Cincy ends the season on a high note and destroys the Dolphins.



San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns

Eddie - A “bounce-back” game would be appropriate for the Browns. Cleveland needs to win and they will.



Fred - Browns have something to play for and the Niners may not have Shaun Hill at QB. Browns win.



Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers

Eddie - Not only was Kitna wrong about his 10 win prediction but they’ll lose the last game of the season as well.



Fred - Packers make up for their pathetic play last week and crush the Lions.



Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eddie – I know a lot of the Bucs will be resting but Carolina just can’t seem to get it together.



Fred – Bucs reserves against Panthers starters…hmmm. Since it’s in Tampa, let’s go with the Bucs. Upset pick #1.



Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

Eddie – The Jaguars are just too strong and the Texans can’t/won’t be able to match up.



Fred – Jags are also resting their starters. Andre Johnson gets 150+ receiving yards and the Texans win.



Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

Eddie - It will be important that Atlanta comes out with this win. There will be a lot of players playing for a spot on the 2008 Falcons’ roster.



Fred - Only a 1 point spread in the Falcons favor. Let’s flip and coin and see…it’s heads so Falcons win.



New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears

Eddie – Saints need this more than Chicago does.



Fred – Due to weather conditions the Saints can’t handle, the Bears barely win. Upset pick #2.



St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals

Eddie – I expect a lot of offense in this game especially from Jackson.



Fred – Bulger, S-Jax, Holt and crew run up the score and outscore the Cardinals. Upset pick #3.



Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos

Eddie – Playing for pride in mile high; Watch out Minnesota. You are about to step into a death trap.



Fred - 30th Run defense against the best running offense…wow! Peterson and Taylor run all over the field, but the Denver pass offense also has a great game. Vikings win in an extremely close game.



San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders

Eddie – I imagine Oakland will be playing a lot of different people so that inconsistency will be the cause of the loss.



Fred – JaMarcus gets the start and the Chargers defense has a feast. Chargers win.



Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens

Eddie - Something is clearly not right with the Ravens and they’ve become extremely unpredictable.



Fred - As I’ve said each week, Ravens S-T-I-N-K! They’ve lost the last 9 games and will lose this one too.



Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets

Eddie - Chiefs win big and big enough where Edwards gets to keep his coaching job. Unfortunately.



Fred - The Chiefs have lost the last 8 games of the season, and since Herm doesn’t deserve a Head Coaching job in the NFL, the Chiefs lose.



Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins

Eddie - Redskins are finding their groove and it’ll be just enough to inch into the playoffs.



Fred - The Cowboys have nothing to play for while the Skins do…and the Skins are at home. Easy pick.



Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts

Eddie – The Colts won’t be the same without their superstars playing.



Fred – The Colts starters aren’t playing the entire game so the Titans win.
