NFL Picks of the Week: Wild Card Weekend - Day 2

AFC WILD CARD MATCHUP #2
CINCINNATI BENGALS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Scotty's Pick
There is one thing the most teams have when getting to the playoffs and that is consistency.  I hate to say it, but the Bengals have not had this all season and as a Bronco fan, I do not want to face them again, since they have our number.  
WINNER - INDIANAPOLIS

John's Pick
For a quarterback to be successful, he needs solid weapons on offense and a sound running game. Andy Dalton has a sound running game going right now, but his wide receiver options/weapons are all banged up pretty badly. That, combined with his ugly record in the playoffs does not bode well for Cincinnati. Plus, their defense has to face off against Andrew Luck who has a knack of carving up defenses like a roast. I don't think the season continues for the Bengals after today. 
WINNER - INDIANAPOLIS

NFC WILD CARD MATCHUP #2
DETROIT LIONS AT DALLAS COWBOYS

Scotty's Pick
The hottest team in football…the Cowboys have been the most dominate over the past four weeks and with their offense clicking, there is little that can stop them.  I hate to say this, but if they get this first playoff win out of the way this year, I can see them making it to the big show. WINNER - DALLAS

John's Pick
It's rare I say something good about the Dallas Cowboys, simply because for the most part Tony Romo has been a grand disappointment. But this has been the best season I've seen them enjoy in a long time and quite frankly I think the entire football world expected the Cowboys to go 8-8 and miss the playoffs yet again, but here we are.  I think today's game will come down to execution. At times throughout the season both squads had a tendency to play sloppy when something went wrong and that would allow their opponent a chance to beat them. That's what happens today. With solid play on both sides of the ball for both teams, the first one to start making big mistakes loses and I'm leaning toward a Cowboy squad that has something to prove making far less mistakes than Detroit today. WINNER - DALLAS
