It's Playoff Time!
Well, the NFL Postseason is here, which means two things:
1) I can make fewer picks every week
2) The Arizona Cardinals' season is over.

Bearing both of those factors in mind, here are picks for this week's playoff games.
-Tennessee at Baltimore: Baltimore is a team that has survived on defense and the legs of Jamal Lewis. Behind those two factors, they should win the game. This is a tough game to call just because of McNair's moxie, but I'm going with BAL
-Dallas at Carolina: Everyone, even the Cowboys, know they've been playing above themselves. John Fox has done a masterful job in Charlotte, and it continues today. CAR
-Seattle at Green Bay: Seattle is 2-6 on the road this season, and they're playing against a stoked Green Bay team in the House Where Dreams Die. GB
-Denver at Indianapolis: Think that "Can't win when it counts" monkey ain't heavy on Peyton Manning's back? I'm sure it is. But Denver's been underwhelming all season, and now that Portis is injured, their chances just took a swan dive into the nearest RCA Dome toilet. IND

By the way, my early Super Bowl Pick? Philadelphia over New England.
