Playoff predictions

Here are my (almost) totally baseless predictions for the first round of the playoffs, starting later this afternoon.

Washington over Seattle....But I think it will be close. Winning the last 4 games, the most recent the blowout against the Cowboys, helps a bunch. I like Seattle, so I kind of feel bad.

Jaguars over Steelers, I'll go ahead and say a blowout. Steelers got no Fast Willie and a bunch of other beat up players. Jaguars have old man-extraordinaire Fred Taylor and some crazy momentum.

NYG over TB. Giants are nigh unstoppable on the road. And that last game against NE? Holy smokes! But Tampa's defense will step up and intercept Eli at least twice. Another close one I think.

Chargers over Titans. Too bad about Vince Young. But if the Titans even keep this close, I'll be surprised. And impressed.
