Well the Vikings are in and get a favorable 1st round match up with the Eagles so my interest will be peaked at least through the upcoming weekend. Lets look at the match-ups:
AFC: Ravens Vs. Miami- Looks like a yawn fest for my likings. An aging and highly overrated Ravens Defense will get to clobber the slow white weak armed Chad Pennington for 4 quarters while Joe footsteps Flacco throws dink and dunk passes to move the chains. I like Baltimore's ability to run the ball with John McClain and Ray Rice. I like Baltimore 17-10.
Indianapolis vs. San Diego- Best match-up the entire weekend for me, we get to see some first ballot HOFers squaring off in Peyton Manning and LT, and keep in mind the Chargers owned Manning last season. Should be high scoring for the most part, both offenses move the ball pretty well, but I still don't consider Phillip Rivers anything more than a system QB. I like the Colts 31-25.
Now to the NFC.
Atlanta vs. Arizona- Other than the Vikings game this will be the game I tune into watch. The reason is both offenses have a shot to score 40 points on Saturday. Arizona's passing game is that good, and their D is that bad. A somewhat pathetic Cardinals team backed into the playoffs and has a chance to steal one at home from the Falcons who have more talent all over the field except at Wideout and QB. I like the Falcons 34-27
Eagles Vs. Vikings- Game of the Childress era. The Vikings have more talent than the Eagles do, plain and simple. This game should be controlled by the Vikings ability to run the ball and their ability to keep Brian Westbrook and Corell Buckhalter in check. Of course all of this is assuming Chilly decides to put on his coaching hat Sunday and call a decent game. If he stays out of AP's and Jared Allen's way the Vikes win 24-13.... if Chilly does what he's prone to do and try to overcoach and out scheme himself, the Eagles win 27-20.

Who is John McClain? Do you mean LeRon McClain?
Plus they have Willis McGehee as well. Even though he is overrated, he can still be effective.
My picks:
Indy
Hot-lanta (especially if Turner runs for 150+ like AP did)
Miami (2nd hottest team in the NFL behind Indy)
Vikes (Kudos on the analysis. Chilly needs to check his ego at the door when he walks into the dome)
Haha John McClain is from Die Hard, Bruce Willis' character just a different spelling.
Love it. Keep up the good my boy!!!
I meant good work.
My picks were awful as it turns out... I didn't know the NFL was so dead set against Peyton Manning moving on to the next round of the playoffs. God only knows why they want that hick Phillip Rivers(the most overrated QB in the NFL) to get any more air time in the playoffs.
Arizona surprised the hell out of me, Warner looked good and Fitzgearld and Boldin are just too damn good.
0-4 does not get it done. Larry the Cable Guy would be beating 15 kinds of dog crap out of me if he saw the results. SHIZZLE!!!!!
