Football Special: Rest of Bowl Picks, NFL Wildcard Picks

I am so sorry about the bowls, I should have just done it like I did all year. So here are the rest of my picks.

Texas Tech over Ole Miss (I know they are losing right now but thats who I would have went with)
Kentucky over East Carolina: 17-13
Alabama over Utah: 35-3
Buffalo over Connecticut 20-17
Ball St. over Tulsa: 35-31
Texas over Ohio St: 41-38

Now on to the NFL Picks

Saturday:
Atlanta at Arizona- First off its sad to hear that this game might be blacked out because they couldnt get attendance numbers, there are so many places where they would love to have a wildcard game. Second off, we all expected Edergin James to not be a Cardinal next year but he didnt need to publicly say it. Now on to the game, Matt Ryan is a young quarterback but I think he will be able to lead his team to victory. Also the Cardinals biggest weakness is the rush defense which spells trouble against Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood. ATL 27-13

Indianapolis at San Diego- The Chargers sneak their way in the playoffs but they have to play the NFL MVP Peyton Manning and the red-hot Colts. No teams has been better than the Colts and the Chargers in the last couple months and Manning has always struggled at San Diego though. Although the possibility of no Antonio Gates and a weak LaDainen Tomilson spells trouble for San Diego. Indy pulls away in the fourth quarter. IND 38-28

Sunday:
Baltimore at Miami- Great story of these two last place teams to now make the playoffs. The Ravens were one of the only teams who figured out the Wildcat formation that the Phins run so well. I think that Miami can win this game if they do not turn the ball over, thats how the Ravens win ball games. I will take the Phins, barely. MIA 13-10

Philadelphia at Minnesota- Not a fan of either teams but the Eagles are on fire after the Donovan McNabb benching. The other thing is they are playing the best on defense right now. The Vikings will need a Pro-Bowl effort to have a chance in this one which is highly unlikely. PHI 31-14

If I am right, the Divisional rounds look like this...
AFC: Indianapolis at Tennessee; Miami at Pittsburgh
NFC: Philadelphia at New York Giants; Atlanta at Carolina
