2016 NFL Playoff Preview: Round 1

Hello, all. It's playoff time, and the boys are going head to head. It's only wildcard week, so therefore, the only men who can be eliminated are the men with the two worst records; Bradley Stewart and David Rutz. The higher seed wins the tiebreaker for the first two rounds, but the tiebreaker for the final matchup will be Super Bowl picks, with the higher seed getting to choose.  The rest of us are safe for another week. Let's get into it.

Here is a quick look at the bracket:

Raiders (12-4) at Texans (9-7)
Never thought I'd see a playoff game worthy of "who the hell cares"? status, but here we are. It will be very boring, and neither team has a chance to go to the Super Bowl. Nonetheless, Bradley picks Oakland, and Rutz picks Houston.

Lions (10-6) at Seahawks (10-5-1)
Everyone picks Seattle at home, who has won 6 of their past nine games.  Detroit on the other hand has backed into the playoffs losing their last three games.

Miami (10-6) at Steelers (11-5)
Once gain, everyone picks the Steelers.  Pittsburgh has won seven in a row after a four game losing skid earlier in the season.  The Fins beat the Steelers earlier this year, but that was with Big Ben playing with a torn meniscus.  As long as the Steelers continue what they have been doing, it should be pretty easy sledding.

Giants (11-5) at Packers (10-6)
This game is the most intriguing game of the Wild Card Round.  New York is the only team to beat the 13-3 Cowboys when the Boy’s have played their full complement of weapons.  Actually, the Giants beat them twice.  However, the Packers have fought their way to 10-6 after winning their last six games of the season.  Both of these teams have Super Bowl potential, regardless, everyone is picking the Packers to pull this one out in Lambeau.

Here is a closer look at everyone’s picks for this week:
