NFL Wildcard Weekend - Jets and Eagles still in the hunt

Here are the upcoming NFL playoff games this weekend. Just for fun I added my predictions how I think the games will end up.

Saturday January 9, 2010

Jets at Bengals  4:30PM EST
Stadium: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
Network: NBC
My prediction: Jets 27 - Bengals 21
Note: The Jets got several breaks to get into the playoffs but their run game and defense is a recipe for success. They get by the first round.

Eagles at Cowboys 8:00PM EST
Stadium: Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX
Network: NBC
My Prediction: Eagles 38- Cowboys 28
Note: It is very hard to win three games in a row against any team. It is just a hunch but I think the Eagles will finally prevail over Dallas with some explosive plays from DeSean Jackson. Cowboys fans will not be able to blame this one on Jessica Simpson.
Special Note: The Local Philadelphia Eagles Club meets at Mulligans for games

Sunday January 10, 2010

Baltimore at New England 1PM EST
Stadium: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
Network: CBS
My Prediction: New England 27 - Baltimore 12
Note: Tom Brady will be in control of this game even without Wes Welker. Wes is a big loss for sure but there are plenty of adequate targets for Brady without him besides Randy Moss.


Green Bay at Arizona 4:40PM EST
Stadium: U of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ
Network: FOX
My Prediction: Arizona 28 - Green Bay 27
Note: A tight game with the edge to Arizona provided Kurt Warner isn't knocked around too much. I could see both teams easily going over 350 passing yards each and this game going down to the wire.

Predictions Recap: I have the Jets and Eagles as the upsets for Saturday and New England and Arizona taking advantage of homefield in Sunday's games. Home teams go 2-2.  

Hoboken Sports Bars: Texas Arizona, Black Bear, Mc Swiggans, Rogos, Mulligans, Mikie Squared, 10th and Willow, Sullivans are just a few of the places I know of where to watch the games in addtion to being at home. Let me know if you can think of any others.
