New York Jets Vs. Cincinnati Bengals: After watching the Bengals' disgusting performance last week, it’s tough to see them winning here. With that being said, they have been excellent at home all year and there are few quarterbacks in the NFL I would trust less than Mark Sanchez in a road playoff game. Look for the Cincy D to step up after last week’s debacle. Bengals 17-7

Dallas Cowboys Vs. Philadelphia Eagles: I’ve been impressed by the Cowboys and Tony Romo in particular in the past few weeks. They really seem to have turned the corner when they knocked the Saints from the ranks of the unbeaten. There are two people however, who they need to be wary of. Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid. Simply put, these two win in the playoffs. Even though I think Romo will play well, it won’t be enough. Eagles 28-17

Baltimore Ravens Vs. New England Patriots: The Patriots are not going to win the Super Bowl without Wes Welker. Julian Edelman is tough and Tom Brady’s still a star, but this defense has not proven they can stop a good offense this year. Especially on the road. They do win Sunday though as Joe Flacco has a nightmare performance. Patriots 24-7

Arizona Cardinals Vs. Green Bay Packers: This is the toughest game to pick because of the unpredictability of these two teams. Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers have been unreal the second half of the season. Since starting the season 4-4, they’ve been the best team in the NFC and maybe all of football. They blew out Arizona last week and many are predicting a similar fate for Sunday. The Cardinals have a habit of showing up big time in games they’re told they have no shot in. Arizona will make it very interesting. Packers 28-27
