Superbowl XLIX Projection, Wildcard Saturday

Seattle over New England

Pittsburgh and Arizona, the contenders for Superbowl XLIII, are the first ones out of this year's playoffs. I was rooting, but just barely, for Carolina to beat Arizona, but moreso for Pittsburgh.

Today, I'd like to see Indianapolis beat Cincinnati, and I suspect they will, though the Bengals seem to have been up and down all year, and anything could happen. The Denver-Indianapolis matchup would have been much more interesting in Indy as a homecoming for Peyton Manning, but I'll take it in Denver if I have to.

As for Dallas and Detroit, it'll be fun to see Jerry Jones do something silly with the spotlight on him, so let's root for Dallas to win at least another game or 2.
