My wife was pretty happy to pick a Redskins game correctly for once, but our 9-7 records in the picks were fitting given how this season went. She was right on the Patriots beating the Titans. I was right on the Eagles beating the Falcons (not sure what she was thinking there, but hey, she married me, so it's not her first regret).

The game that surprised me the most: Lions over Cowboys. Let's just say it's looking like the Seahawks should be OK in this wild-card game. Qwest Field will help the defense a great deal. On offense, Seattle had to like what it saw from Matt Hasselbeck on Sunday. If he plays like that, the Seahawks have as good a chance as most teams in the NFC.

The Giants-Eagles game will be interesting given that these are division rivals. You can't just assume the Eagles will win, even though they've played much better in the second half of the season. The Bears could lose to anyone with Rex Grossman throwing to the other team. Who knows how the Saints will respond to their first playoff appearance with this group of players? And then you have the Cowboys, a dysfunctional team with problems on defense and at quarterback, the most important position. It's wide open, really.

Note: We started picking on the blog in about Week 3, as I recall. That explains why we don't have a full season's worth of picks.
