OK in this thread ill be giving you guys one or two playoff scenarios going from Wild Card week all the way to my Super Bowl pick.

Any records you see are my projected records.

I am a huge Jets fan so you might see some bias towards them for this but i think you should still agree with me on some of these.

To start things off ill give you my picks for the teams that make the playoffs in this NFL Playoff Bracket 2012.

WILD CARD ROUND

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Game 1 New York Jets @ Houston Texans

New York Jets win 27-16

This would be a very good game two extremely well coached defenses but i see the Jets coming out with the upper hand because they tend to get really hot come playoff time as we've seen in years past. I could see the Jets offense starting to spark a little more in this game especially Sanchez. I would expect him to throw a lot to Santonio Holmes and utilize all his receivers to their full potential especially Jeremy Kerley. The run game is starting to peak right now at week 14 with Shonn Greene really turning it up. As for the Texans i dont think would be much of a factor being that the Jets run Defense ever since week 5 has been improving a lot, and the Texans would have a rookie QB in TJ Yates, who i think has been very impressive but he's a rookie. Rookies make mistakes which could mean he might make the dire mistake and throw it to Darrelle Revis' side of the field which could result in a turnover. The Texans are just to depleted by injuries with Mario Williams out, Andre Johnson and his hamstrings and obviously their QB Matt Schaub. That's why i see the Jets coming out on top 27-16.

Game 2 Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos

Pittsburgh Steelers win 23-20 OT

If Big Ben Rothlisberger is healthy by playoff time which i assume he will be then the Steelers should have no problem...right? Well unfortunately theres a god like figure on the other sideline in Tim Tebow. as a Jets fan i've witness Tebow do his thing and it was unreal so that's why i would anticipate a close game. Denver's Defense has been nothing short of impressive especially Von Miller who has been an absolute animal at the OLB position, and with Elvis Dummervil on the other side their linebacking core is top notch. Their secondary other than Champ Bailey isnt exactly great and i dont think it would be ready to handle a Steelers team with recievers everywhere. There's one thing Big Ben can do is extend plays which allows his recievers to get open and usually leads to big gains through the air. I think "Tebow Time" will finally die out here Pittsburgh's defense may be aging but it is still terrifying to see a freshly fined James Harrison coming at you. SO i just look at it as Pittsburgh being the better team here taking it into OT and kicking the game winning field goal in the high altitude weather in Denver.

Game 3 Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants

Giants win 35-27

This will be a pretty good game in my book. Falcons have kind of been all over the spectrum this season and Eli Manning has had a pretty impressive season thus far. I don't see Atlanta's offense holding to long against this New York Giant defense if they can get the ball out of Matt Ryan's hands with time then i believe the Falcons receivers will be able to make plays for him but assuming the Giants D-Line is healthy with Tuck,Umenyoria, and Jason Pierre-Paul getting Matt Ryan time will be a tough task. I'd predict Jason Pierre-Paul to have about 5 sacks in this game, as for the Giants offense i think they'll be able to pass the ball a lot and as long as the receivers break their habits of dropping easy balls the G-men should be able to coast to a relatively easy win.

Game 4 Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco 49'ers

49'ers win 28-17

The 49'ers have been quite the shocking team to come out of their shell this season. With a decent offense and a very good defense i'd look for the 49'ers take this one by storm and not let it go like they did back in the early part of the season with Broken Ribs Romo. I think this game will be more the Cowboys losing the game then San Fran winning it. Dallas has had a reputation throughout the season of "blowing" it, and i dont think that'll change come playoff time. So i give San Fransico this one in a boring game.

DIVISIONAL ROUND

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Game 1 Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens

Ravens win 13-10

Well this AFC divisional round consists of two division rivals games this one being very intense. I think both teams will be playing with a Super Bowl intensity. I'd expect both defenses to be absolutely outstanding. This game would kind of be like Alabama LSU. Very low scoring and expect to see a lot of turnovers. But even with a lot of turnovers i wouldn't expect the offenses to capitalize on them. This will be a defensive showdown and Ray Lewis will prob lay out bodies. The ravens have had the Steelers number twice during the regular season and i dont see it changing here. This is where the final stand for the Steelers will be if they show some aging then its finally time to hand over the reigns to the Ravens but it wont be easy pickings for the Ravens.

Game 2 New York Jets @ New England Patriots

Jets win 17-16

The Patriots havent won a home playoff game in about four years and the Jets haven't a home playoff game in the best decade. Last year if you recall the Jets pulled off the upset win in Gillete stadium. I expect the same sort of upset here but the Jets will look really good but i think Sanchez will have his faults. The Pats defense hasnt been good at all this year but the reason for the Jets low score of 17 will because of lack of production by the offense but the Jets defense will be extremely strong in this game. I just feel like they would play such an unbelievable amount of intensity. Tom Brady will have a very stressful day at the office but the only thing that scares me would be the ability of the Jets to cover the Pats TE's who have been nothing short of amazing this year. The Jets are without Jim Leonard but i tihnk they can pull off the upset yet again.

Game 3 San Francisco 49'ers @ New Orleans Saints

Saints win 48-29

This will be a Louisiana beatdown. Drew Brees and his Saints have been unstoppable at home in the Superdome so i'd expect them to light up the scoreboard for their home crowd during playoff time. New Orleans will not hold back for this game it'll be like when they brok 60 points against the Colts even though the 49'ers is a lot better then the Colts but also the Saints offense has drastically approved this season. Drew Brees will put up career numbers maybe like 5 TD's. New Orleans would just click on all cylinders giving them the pass to the NFC Championship.

---

Game 4 New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers

Packers win 35-10

Its now time for Mr.Rodgers to put on a clinic against a pathetic secondary that the giants have. I dont think the Giants will stand a chance this time around in Lambeau. This is the game where i would expect to see Eli's true colors come out and i'd expect to see a couple of interceptions on his part and then when that happens Aaron Rodgers takes advantage and i'd predict this game to be over by halftime.

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Game 1 New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens

Ravens win 26-17

Unfortunately for my Jets i see the playoff run coming to an end in the AFC Championship for the third time in a row. This will be like the week 4 matchup, except not as ugly only because the Jets will have Nick Mangold back. The Ravens defense will destroy the Jets offense but i do see the Jets defense holding pretty well against Joe Flacco and the Ravens but ultimately it wont be a good enough effort to move on to the Super Bowl.

---

Game 2 New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers

Packers win 42-38

This is the game most people would have been waiting for throughout the season the two hottest offense's fighting for a trip to the super bowl. Both quarterbacks have had career years and this will be a shootout and a half. Each quarterback will be picking on each others secondary's. Drew Brees will be nearly flawless but i think that he will make one bad throw that would basically cost him the game. Aaron Rodgers i think will literally be perfect 5 TD's no ints and just an amazing game to watch if your a fan of offense. It will come down to which QB will make a mistake to determine this game which is why i think Mr.Rodgers will defend his Lombardi trophy for the 2nd straight year.

SUPER BOWL

Green Bay Packers vs Baltimore Ravens

This will be a tremendous game a great Packers offense vs a great Ravens defense. This will certainly be an excellent game. This will be probably the toughest test for Aaron Rodgers and the same goes for the Ravens Defense. The deciding factor in this game will be the fact that Rodgers has an infinite amount of receivers. To be factual he has about 12 different ones that he can pass to. I think this fact will be too much for the Ravens Defense to handle. Also i tihnk in the heat of the moment Dom Capers will inspire the defense to go absolutely crazy especially Clay Matthews expect a huge game out of him. Im a defense guy which is why this pick hurts me a little bit im going to have to give it to the Packers for this matchup.

Packers Repeat Super Bowl Champions 31-20
