Joe Manniello's wild-card weekend picks

The NFL could not have drawn up a more exciting regular season. From prime time instant classics to the final playoff spot literally being decided in the last game of the season, it was one to remember. Will we get an encore in the playoffs?

Seven of the 12 teams were not in the playoffs last season and all of them play this weekend. The AFC is completely wide open, with teams seeded from 1-6 having a shot to get to the Super Bowl. In the NFC, the Saints will be a tough out at home, but the Rams and Bears could have something to say about that.

Wild-card weekend shapes up to be a fun one, with all four games under a touchdown spread and three of them under a field goal. Three of the games are a rematch, or for Colts-Texans a three-match, while the Eagles and Bears face off for the first time this season.
