In the Wildcard round I was 4-0. I finished the regular season 41-19, 6-1 on Thursday games, 2-1 on Saturday games, 26-15 on Sunday games and 7-2 on Monday games.
1. Washington vs. Seattle (Sat.)
PICK: Seahawks RESULT: Seahawks 35-14 The magic ran out for the Redskins, they took control of the game after a slow start by scoring 2 quick TDs to make the score 14-13, before the Seahawks defense took over scoring 2 TDs on INTs. The Seahawks passing game looked good without WR Deion Branch, who missed the game with a calf injury, the running game however is a different story, wasn't RB Shaun Alexander the MVP of the NFL a few years ago?

2. Jacksonville vs. Pittsburgh (Sat.)
PICK: Jaguars RESULT: Jaguars 31-29 This had to be the most exciting game of the weekend. The Jags jumped out to a big league before the Steelers came back and scored 3 TDs in the 4th quarter to take the lead. QB David Garrard led the Jags down the field for the game winning FG, and his 4th down QB sneak to put the Jags in FG range had to be the gutsiest play of the game. Congrats to the Jaguars, your prize, a Saturday night matchup with the Patriots.

3. NY Giants vs. Tampa Bay (Sun.)
PICK: NY Giants RESULT: Giants 24-14 The Giants continue their success on the road raising their record to 8-1 away from Giants Stadium. Eli Manning gets the monkey off his back by winning his first playoff game and most likely saving Tom Coughlin's job for next season. Who knew the G-men had a secondary, the big weakness of the D, all season stepped up and played a great game and will need to bring the same intensity next week against the rival Cowboys.

4. Tennessee vs. San Diego (Sun.)
PICK: Chargers RESULT: Chargers 17-6 The Titans did everything they could to contain L.T., neither team produced much offense. The Chargers offense was further stalled when they lost TE Antonio Gates in the 2nd quarter. In the 2nd half QB Phillip Rivers connected with WRs Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers for some big plays, including a TD to Jackson. L.T. was able to score the nail in the coffin TD on a 4th a goal dive that initially saw him stopped in mid air but a second effort saw Tomlinson stretch the ball across the goal line for the score.
