Predictions for Today's NFL Wildcard Games

AFC
(6th seed) Cincinnati Bengals at (3rd seed) Houston Texans
Parker's pick: Bengals
My pick: Texans
Houston struggled down the stretch, losing home field advantage in the playoffs during the final weeks of the regular season. Matt Schaub and the Texans defense must both play better this weekend than they have recently. The Bengals continue to improve as a team and get the opportunity to meet the Texans in the wildcard round of the playoffs for the second year in a row. Cincinnati, with injuries in the backfield, must have enough of a run game to keep from becoming one-dimensional.

NFC
(6th seed) Minnesota Vikings at (3rd seed) Green Bay Packers
Parker's pick: Packers
My pick: Packers
Adrian Peterson=amazing. After suffering a devastating knee injury at the end of last season, he fell just short of setting the NFL single season rushing record this year. As a result, the Vikings have surprised their opponents this season. The Packers are finally getting back to having a healthy roster. With all their weapons in place, the Pack is usually dominant.
