Well I did so well in the Wild Card round I am nervous to make picks now. But here are mine.
San Diego 28 New England 23
Both teams are well balanced. Both teams are playoff veterans. The offense will be the deciding factor in this game. And it will come late in the game from the Chargers. I predict NE to be in control most of the game. And SD coming up big in the 4th.
Indy 21 Bal 17
This will be a back and forth game. Indy will look efficient on offense but possibly give up some big plays to BAL defense. 2 TDs in the 4th quater one by each team. Indy scores with sometime to spare to win the game.
Sea 31 Chi 24
Chicago defense looks bad recently. Seattle is a solid team on both sides. Grossman is not ready for playoff level of play.
NO 28 Philly 21
No FG's this game. Solid touch downs. This will be a fun one to watch. Philly will make a desperate attempt to come back in the second half only to come up short. Mental errors may be their doom!

New England 28 San Diego 17
Phillip Rivers is a good young quarterback; however, he doesn't have the playoff experience that Tom Brady does. Brady steps his game up a notch in the playoffs. Belichek is a better big game coach than Schottenheimer and will be able to neutralize LT's effectiveness.
Baltimore 24 Indy 10
Baltimore's defense will get to Manning all day long, forcing him to make quick decisions; dumping the ball off to his backs or to the wrong jerseys. McNair will be effective enough to get the ball in the end zone a couple of times.
Chicago 17 Seattle 12
Chicago's defense will be able to control Alexander, and Grossman will be able to get the two touchdowns that they need due to the better field position that the defense will allow for.
New Orleans 31 Philly 14
The Superdome will be deafening as the Saints look to forward the city's recovery by light years. The combination of offensive talent and emotional content will be too much for Philly to overcome.

i called a SD vs NO superbowl, so i can't back off these teams now. i like their chances to win next week. NE will give SD a battle, but i think LT will run wild and be the difference.
Brees is just awesome. Philly won't be able to keep up offensively..
I think Indy will crumble. Peyton looked aweful and needed his D to bail him out against KC. the BAL defence will totally overwhealm indy.. and McNair and the boys will score enough to get the job done. i also expect BAL to score 2 defensive touchdowns on Manning interceptions..
I also expect Chicago to fall down. Seattle has the momentum and confidence...
i'll take take NE, BAL, SEA, and NO.
not sure what the spreads will be but i think SD/NE will be a close game and the other three will be blowouts by more than 10 points.

SD... NE is good, but Tomlinson is the MVP for a reason... He's gonna carry the team to the Superbowl...
Bal... Indy's O is gonna have trouble against the best D in the league... And Bal's O is looking better than it has in a while... Plus, Indy's D can't hold up for 2 games in a row...
Chi... The D will hold them in, despite not knowing how good/bad Grossman will do...
NO... Garcia's a backup for a reason... His Cinderella story ends here...

Ravens all the way. Peyton Manning will be sacked numerous times and get frustrated. The Ravens D will control Manning and the offense will control the game with a heavy dose of the running game and play action pass- something missing from Kansas City yesterday.
San Diego and Chicago will win in convincing fashion, and the Eagles will win a close game in New Orleans. Jeff Garcia controls the game very well and gives them a chance to win in every game.

New England over San Diego: New England is an expierenced team who is overlooked this year. Their coaching staff, and quarterback know how to win games, and their recieving core is coming along. Marty's post season record/curse is the reason the Chargers wont prevail.
Colts over Baltimore: Baltimore has a great defense, but Indi has a great offense which can score over anyone. People make too big of deal out of their poor run defense, it really isnt that big of deal. Colts prevail.
Chicago over Seattle: Seattle got lucky and beat a Cowboys team that isnt very good. If they need luck to get a win over the Cowboys, then imagine what they need to beat the Bears.
Philadelphia over Saints: Saints are looking good, but the Eagles are looking better. Saints loosing to Washington at home may be a sign of a late season let down, as the Eagles only appear to get stronger with their veteran QB and good defense.
Patriots, Colts, Bears, and Eagles all win.
Patriots beat Bears in the Superbowl.
End of story.

SD over NE 30/27(One word - Tomlinson)
IND over Baltimore 23/17 (Manning will bounce back)
Sea over Chi 20/16(No faith in grossman)
NO over Phi 35/27(Offense is Coltsesque and Bush is electrifying.

I'll have to agree with you except for the Indy/BAL game; Baltimore's defense is as solid as the Chargers'...big time. Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are scary to see on the field. I can see Indy gettin' their butts kicked by a touchdown or a field goal.
