The NFL playoffs: I don't know what to think

I've been thinking about these wild card playoff games this weekend, and I have no idea who to pick to win these games. I think all four of them are a complete toss-up, and I wouldn't be surprised by any team winning.

The Bengals are severly hindered by their passing game, which features no deep threats. The Jets' defense could absolutely shut this team down. But on the Jets side you have Mark Sanchez, and if you think I'm taking a rookie QB on the road in the playoffs, think again. I'll take the Bengals, but I'm not confident. I just envision Sanchez throwing a few picks to Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall, and the Bengals eeking out a win.

This Cowboys-Eagles game has me all flustered. The Eagles are a lot better than how they played on Sunday, and I can't imagine them playing like that two weeks in a row. On the other hand, Dallas has played two very good games defensively against the Eagles, so it seems like they've got them figured out. On the other hand (I've got lots of hands, "and you're gonna need it), McNabb had one of his classically poor accuracy days, and he usually doesn't do that two weeks in a row. Plus the Cowboys now have to beat the Eagles three times in one season, which is a tall order considering the Eagles are a pretty good team. I'm taking the Cowboys on the strength of their pass rush, but I really don't know which way to go.

Ravens-Patriots has snooze fest written all over it. Get ready for lots of Ray Rice and Julian Edelman. Both teams have weak secondaries, so that kinda cancels each other out. This is the type of game where I just imagine the Patriots finding some cheap way to win, while Baltimore blows a winnable game. I'll take the Patriots, but frankly I don't care about this one.

Packers-Cardinals could potentially be a great game. These are two prolific passing attacks, and two really good QBs. The key for Arizona is going to be protecting Warner; if Clay Matthews is able to rush the passer, it's probably game over. I don't like Tramon Williams trying to cover those Cardinal receivers, but Anquan Boldin might not play so maybe that won't be such a factor. I'll take the Packers to win, but the Cardinals have the best player in this game in Larry Fitzgerald, so watch out for that.
