Arizona @ New Orleans
I actually expect a blowout here. The Saints have been playing in a huge slump and are rust right now. They don't seem like they will be able to stop the Arizona Cardinals passing attack. They have momentum after that crazy wildcard game and it will show here. The Saints will end their season on a four game losing streak.
Baltimore @ Indianapolis
Baltimore's secondary is weak, but the Colts run defence is weak and Ray Rice should have a great day here. Plus, the rust factor is in for the Colts. Same with losing the past two games. They haven't played a full game since week 15, and now they're supposed to face an underrated Ravens teams with momentum on the Raven's side? Its not happening, and the Ravens will pull off the upset and reach the AFC Championship for the second straight year.

Dallas @ Minnesota
Keith Brooking has been the teams locker room leader, and this has eased the pressure off Romo. Romo has just been playing football and the Cowboys are as deadly as any team in the NFL. Their postseason woes appear to be over. Favre will choke this game and the Cowboys will be off to the NFC Championship.
NY Jets @ San DiegoThe Jets may have the #1 ranked pass defence in the league, but Rivers is hands down the hottest QB in the league. He has a quick release and the Jets will not be able to get enough pressure on him, and Rivers' protection is much better than Palmers. The Jets may have Revis covering Jackson, but Rivers still has Floyd, Gates, Sproles and LT to throw to. The Chargers pass rush is much better than teh Bengals, forcing Sanchez into making mistakes.
However, I have one massive flaw against San Diego, and that is that they rested their starters week 17. They haven't played full out since Christmas, and that will show in the first half. The Jets will have a halftime lead, but San Diego will eventually come back and win it.
