Hi, this is Fred Wallace with ” Off the Wire “.
The National Football League playoffs begin tomorrow and almost all of the 8 participating teams this weekend are coming in with some momentum.
The games tomorrow are in the AFC with Kansas City at Houston and Pittsburgh at Cincinnati.
The Chiefs are the hottest team in the NFL having won 10 straight, but the Texans with home field advantage have won their last 3.
The AFC North match up in Cincinnati sees both the Steelers and Bengals coming in off wins from Sunday. Of note, Pittsburgh has won 4 of their last 5
Sunday it’s the NFC playoffs with Seattle at Minnesota and Green Bay in Washington
Seattle thumped division rival Arizona Sunday and are 4 & 1 in their last 5. The Vikings have won 3 straight including a clutch win Sunday at Green Bay.
Finally, the Washington Redskins won 4 straight when it counted to capture the NFC East. They host the Packers on Sunday- Green Bay is the only playoff team on a skid, having lost their last 2.
My picks; KC, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Washington.
The winners this weekend lineup against Carolina, Denver, New England and Arizona next weekend.
I’m Fred Wallace
