Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of updates, but with it being nfl playoffs, its time for me to get back on the blogging wagon. I will be posting previews to every playoff game this year with predictions for every one of them. Lets hope I get some right. Today we will be starting off with the New Orleans Saints visiting the Seattle Seahawks. Lets take a look at it.

Thoughts on the matchup: Anyone who has hung out with me knows two things about me: I am a huge saints fan, and I think the NFC West is the biggest joke in sports right now. Seriosuly, a 7-9 team not only getting into the playoffs?!? Thats just terrible. However, I think the NFL has the best playoffs of any sport, so I will chalk this one up to a once in a lifetime phenomena. When you look at the matchup, the Saints have the Seahawks outclassed in every aspect. It will take something special for the Seahawks to pull out the upset.

How the Saints can win: Its pretty simple. Just act like the champions you are. The only team that will beat the Saints on Saturday is themselves. They will have to go out and score a bunch in the first quarter to try to take the crowd out of the game. This is an experienced team, and I don't see that being an issue.

How the Seahawks can Win: There is absolutely no denying that the Hawks have the biggest home field advantage when it comes to crown noise. Those fans are crazy. Having said that, they will still need a number of small mircales to pull out a win here. Having Hasselbeck will help out, but they will need to control the ball and keep it out of the hands of Drew Brees and their offense.

My Prediction: No surprise here. I have the Saints cruising in this one. Shouldn't be a tough win. I'm thinking 31-14 Saints.

Tune in tomorrow when I will break down one of the other three matchups. Thanks for reading.
