NFL Playoff predictions

The regular season is over now. Hopefully the Bills will get rid of offensive coordinator Turk Schonert and/or Head Coach Dick Jauron. Some very questionable calls and another 7-9 season are not making any Bills fans happy.

Wild Card
AFC - Baltimore over Miami
Indianapolis over San Diego

NFC - Minnesota over Philadelphia
Atlanta over Arizona

Divisional Round
AFC - Tennessee over Baltimore
Indianapolis over Pittsburgh

NFC - N.Y. Giants over Atlanta
Carolina over Minnesota

Championship Round
AFC - Indianapolis over Tennessee
NFC - N.Y. Giants over Carolina

Super Bowl - Indianapolis over NY Giants

What do you think? Any predictions of your own?

Maybe I should rename my blog Portland Trailblazers and Bills (at least until next August)

The Blazer game last night was great! I got FREE tickets, got to see my favorite Blazer Terry Porter's number retired, and got to see the Blazers play extremely well. They were very exciting and beat the Kings by 32. Brandon Roy and Joel Pryzbilla are such fighters, I love their attitudes on the court.

Other than the Lakers and Celtics, I think the Blazers are as good as anyone. I just hate those two teams, and it stinks that they are so good.

I am going to take a break from discussing the Bills, because they are so lame at this time. I am going to make all-time teams of NFL teams starting in my favorite's order.

NFL teams in my order

The Bills season is virtually over. They would need to win 4 in a row and get a lot of help to have hope for the playoffs. Not looking too likely the way they have been playing. They have been inconsistent - scoring 54 against the Chiefs on the road, then only 3 at home vs. the 49ers. Ugh! So, I'll focus on something else. My list of NFL teams from my favorite, to my least favorite. For each team I picked 2 players I like and 1 player I like with Bills ties.
1. Buffalo Bills - Steve Tasker, Reggie McKenzie, Butch Byrd

8. Philadelphia Eagles - Randall Cunningham, Reggie White, Troy Vincent
9. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mark Brunell, Jimmy Smith, Pierson Priouleau
10. Indianapolis Colts - Gene Lipscomb, Marvin Harrison, Roosevelt Leaks
11. Tamp Bay Buccaneers - Doug Williams, Derrick Brooks, Steve Christie
12. Kansas City Chiefs - Christian Okoye, Bobby Bell, Martin Bayless
