FOUR FOR FRIDAY: Wild Card Weekend

It's day 4 of 2013. Which means one thing: FOUR FOR FRIDAY. PLAYOFF EDITION.


That's right, folks! I'm back with NFL Picks! The regular season is over, the New York Football Giants did not make the Playoffs this year (which means I'll be cheering on my wife's Colts), and life moves on.


Let's get to it!


SATURDAY 4:30PM ET/11:30AM HT: CINCINNATI BENGALS @ HOUSTON TEXANS


The Texans lost in week 17 to the Colts and in doing so lost their first round bye to the Patriots. They haven't looked like the dominating defense lately like they did earlier in the season and the Bengals offense can move the ball both on the ground and in the air. Oh, and the Texans are the only team coming into the Playoffs with a losing streak. Congratulations on winning the AFC South Texans, cause you're not winning any Playoff games.


SATURDAY 8:00PM ET/3:00PM HT: MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS


Seriously? Does anyone really think that the Vikings have a chance in this game? Okay, sure, they beat the Packers in Week 17 to get in to the Playoffs. Okay, sure, these two are division rivals, and divisional games tend to go funny sometimes. Okay, sure, Adrian Petersen has been a BEAST returning from his knee injury this year and the Pack don't really have a run game and will have to rely on Aaron Rodgers way more than the Vikings will need to rely on Christian Ponder. Why am I picking the Packers again?


SUNDAY 1:00PM ET/8:00AM HT: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS


Let me be honest with you here. I really don't know how to pick this one. The Colts have been very surprising throughout this season. The Ravens have looked good at times and looked terrible at times. But the Ravens are at home, where they're 6-2 this season. The Colts are 4-4 on the road. I think I'm going Colts on this one cause they're my wife's team. Don't take this pick as any sort of advice.


SUNDAY 4:30PM ET/11:30AM HT: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS


You really think I'd pick the Redskins? Do I think they have the better chance to win? Sure. Do I think that the Seahawks aren't the same team without their 12th man home crowd boosting their defense? Yup. But will I ever pick an NFC East division rival to win? HELL NO.
