NFL 2011 wild card round

A lousy regular season, finishing three games under .500. Let's try to make up the difference in the playoffs.

Saturday:

Bengals +3.5 at Texans. Speaking of lousy, Houston's been pretty dubious lately, and Cincinnati's on a bit of a roll.

Saints -10.5 vs. Lions: No way the young Lions get past Mr. All-Universe Drew Brees at the Superdome.

Sunday:

Falcons +3 at Giants: Yes, New York won the division. Barely. I like Atlanta's chances to blow this open with lots of passing.

Broncos +8.5 vs. Steelers. I think Pittsburgh will win this one, but a home underdog with a history of comebacks is hard to resist. Plus Steelers are banged up.
