Cincinnati bengals @ Houston Texans (4:30 pm ET)
In my opinion, this match is going to be the least watched. The reason is that the other wild card showdowns have some "things to talk about"; for example, in the Falcons @ Giants match we're going to have a showdown between two excellent QBs. But the exciting thing in this game is it's between the highest seeding (Texans) and the lowest seeding (Bengals) in the wild card; will there be any surprises? No, the Texans will emerge victorious in my opinion and go and face the Ravens which are led by Flacco.
(Winner: Houston Texans)
Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints (8:00 pm ET)
Matthew Stafford against the record breaking Drew Brees, one of the most anticipated battles in the playoffs. The showdown will take place in New Orleans which gives the Saints an upper hand, but don't get fooled by the Lions' (10-6-0) record because they can survive in the Superdome. I really believe Stafford will give his all in this battle; but, Drew Brees and company will defeat the Lions despite what Stafford can/will do.

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants (1:00 pm ET)
Although I suggested that the Steelers-Broncos is "the match to watch" in my previous post, I'm really looking forward to this match. Matt "Matty Ice" Ryan is one of my favorite QBs in the NFL today; this guy has what it takes to become a football legend. This week, Matt's team (the Falcons) will face an amazing offense led by an outstanding combination, which I love to call, Eli-Cruz! Eli Manning, the Giants' QB, along with Victor Cruz (WR) have taught the Cowboys a lesson last week and secured the NFC East top spot. I believe this is a REALLY tough game to call, but the Giants will prevail although I really want to see Matt Ryan advance and prove my point!

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos (4:30 pm ET)
This showdown is part of history already, I mean the Steelers and the Broncos are two of the biggest teams in NFL history. I'm not saying that the other teams in the wild card aren't good, but since I grew up I've always heard the names of certain teams... The Steelers and the Broncos are part of this list! Also, this is one of the major rivalries in the NFL; and the Broncos is the most team to face the Steelers in the playoffs! The Broncos' numbers this season (8-8-0) worry me, also Tebow's performance lately dropped dramatically; while Big Ben is showing his muscles around along with his team's very good record this season (12-4-0). This indicates that the Steeler's have a bigger chance of winning, and I'm betting on it.
