Wild Card Saturday - Quick Picks

New Orleans @ Seattle (+11)
The Seahawks are a bit of a fraud by making the playoffs and first glance would say take the Saints in a heartbeat, but a deeper looks says otherwise.   The Saints have lost their two starting RBs in Thomas and Ivory and have to depend on Reggie Bush and Orange Julious Jones... ugh.   They will not be able to run and grind out the game in the second half to salt this one away.

The last matchup between these two teams in the Big Easy was closer than you might think with some biased zebra calls.   The Saints have only covered 11 a couple times all year.  With this game in Qwest field and Hasslebeck back at QB we like the Seahawks to keep it within the 11, but expect the Saints to win the game.    Saints 31  Seahawks 24



New York Jets @ Indianapolis (-3)
After going back and forth on this game, until Peyton loses at home in prime time, we can't bet against him.  Stay away if you will, but we can't back a Jets team who was 2-3 down the stretch while the Colts were 4-0.  No a big unit play but take the Colts to cover here.   Jets 17  Colts 24

Good Luck on Saturday!
