What are your thoughts / predictions for this AFC Wildcard Matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New England Patriots? These 2 teams have met in the playoffs in 96 and atleast 1 other time, both with a win.
I have to go with the defending SuperBowl champion Patriots...Yea, I am biased
I was a little nervous myself, but the Pats stepped up and made some big plays. One play that stands out is Big Ben Watson turning a 3rd and 10 pass into a 60 yard TD run.
Now the Patriots wait until Cin and Pit play. A Steelers win means the Patriots go to Denver. A Cincinati win mean the Patriots go to Indiannapolis.
I am pulling for Pittsburgh and New England to win their games so that Pittsburgh will eventually have to travel to New England for the AFC Championship game.
That was an interesting game last night...In the first quarter or so, it seemed like it was going to be a great game with the Pats and Jaguars playing at the same level, but then the Pats started to pull away, and the Jaguars couldn't respond. Leftwich really showed some guts though in playing, as you could see the pain in his face.
