Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans
Cincinnati isn't as strong as they should / could be, but there are just too many injuries on the Texans side. If it was Houston mid-season I would say this is a no-brainer, not only would Houston win this one, but they may have been able to get all the way to the AFC Championship with a first round bye. But all that's gone. Sorry Houston. Next year is yours to lose though.
Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints
Saints are at home and the Lions are two years away from prime time. New Orleans takes this one, but not as easily as people are thinking.
Winner: New Orleans Saints
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos
Something is wrong here that a very mediocre Broncos squad gets home field over a much much better Pittsburgh team, but that's the way it goes. Even with home field, and the miracle of God and Heaven shining down on Denver and Tebow. Their time is up.
Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers
Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Giants
This may be the hardest game to pick. I like Atlanta's run game here, but New York has a way of winning in the playoffs when you don't think they can. And they are at home.
Winner: New York Giants

Good picks. I agree with you about the Saints/Lions being closer than people realize. I picked the Texans to win, but I don't think anyone really knows what to expect there.
yeah, houston could win even with all the injuries, who knows. but even if they do, i dont think either of these teams can win against the big three in the afc.
