Wildcard Round: NFC Matchups

vs

36 - 41
11-5 ....................... 7-9
Season Meeting - Saints 34-19
Prediction: Saints win

This was my most confident prediction of all these wildcard games. Not that i didn't think Seattle had a chance, but did not really think they would pull it off. Well, they did. Hopefully that will shut up the people saying Seattle didn't deserve to go to the playoffs and they don't belong there. They won their division and made it to the playoffs and are now moving on to the divisional round. The Seahawks are a possible matchup for the Bears now in the Divisional round. It all depends on the Eagles Packers game. I'll talk more about the matchup for the Bears when we know if they'll play the Eagles or the Seahawks. Either way, what an upset this was for Seattle and what a great game it was for those fans to see having this game at home. It was actually pretty cool to see the underdog win like this at home.

16 - 21
10-6 ....................... 10-6
Season Meeting - Packers 27-20
Prediction: Packers win
Packers won, i thought they would. The Eagles didn't seem to be playing quite so good lately and the Packers are pretty much playing their best of the year. This win by the Packers puts the Bears against the Seahawks in the Divisional round. The Packers will play the Falcons. I don't know for sure if i would have rather the Bears play the Eagles or the Seahawks, but if we just go by regular season record, getting the Seahawks in the next round is a very good thing for the Bears. We'll see.
