There are two games taking place today for Saturday's NFL Wildcard Weekend. Cleveland Browns fans can use this game thread to discuss the games as they are taking place. I encourage you to head over to the respective team sites to see some of the articles they have been posting as well.

Game: New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks
Date/Time: Sunday, January 8, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. EST
Local Television: WKYC/NBC, Channel 3 (Cleveland)
Announcers: Mike Mayock & Tom Hammond
The Seahawks are ten point underdogs in this game despite winning the NFC West. The fact is that Seattle is one of the worst teams in postseason history, but it is a whole new season starting now. If Pete Carroll is able to come up with a good gameplan and the experienced Matt Hasselbeck starts rolling, maybe this team that has nothing to lose will come out firing. That's a stretch though, and the Saints should be able to win comfortable. My Pick: Saints win 30-17.
New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts

I love watch Peyton Manning, and I love it when he is able to beat an aggressive defense. I have no faith in Mark Sanchez still, so they'll have to rely on their running backs to get the job done. Unfortunately for the Jets, the Colts' run defense has been much better as of late. I hope this game is a tight game throughout so I can be entertained, but I get the feeling that the Jets are going to be one and done in blowout fashion. My Pick: Colts win 27-10.
