NFL Wild Card Weekend

This weekend, 4 games will be played to start the NFL playoffs. I'm asking which one is most likely to result in an upset. There favourites and underdogs and clear in 3 of the games but in the St. Louis v.s. Seattle game, it's not so clear. Seattle had a better record, 9-7, than St. Louis, 8-8 but St. Louis won both regular season games, including a come from behind victory in Seattle by scoring 17 points in the final 6 minutes of the 4th quarter and sent the game to overtime where they eventually won. My hope is that my favourite team, Minnesota, who stumbled in the drunks they are and lost to a dreadful Washington team, only to have their ass saved by New Orleans, who beat Carolina but because of the fact they lost to Minnesota in the regular season, were eliminated. Had Carolina won, Minnesota would have missed the playoffs. Anyway, I'm hoping that Green Bay doesn't take them as seriously as they should and Minny surprises them. Given their two games ended up 34-31 for Green Bay in the regular season, it will be closer whom ever wins. In the end though, either New England or Pittsburgh will win the Superbowl but a person can dream till then.

I have to agree with you. Green Bay only beat minnesota twice this year thanks to last second field goal, 34-31. Minn has a good chance of pulling off that win.
