PLAYOFFS!!

Finally the NFL playoffs are here and the Wild Card round gives us 4 pretty decent games to watch. Cincinnati at Houston and Detroit at New Orleans on Saturday while the Sunday games are the Falcons at Giants and Steelers at Broncos. The winners will go on the road next week to play the top 2 seeds that have a bye, so in the AFC the Patriots and Ravens with the NFC's Packers and 49ers will have a distinct advantage for the best NFL weekend of the year - the Divisional round. As always tickets and packages remain available for all of the playoffs and Super Bowl. Predictions - Bengals, Saints, Falcons, Steelers all win.

Top 5 Selling Events of the Week    
1 - Baltimore Ravens playoff tickets

Sports on the Tube this Weekend
NFL Playoffs (Sat & Sun NBC/Fox/Cbs)
Cotton Bowl Kansas St vs Arkansas (Friday 8PM Fox ) - This is a great matchup in the legendary bowl game that now takes place in Jerry World (New Cowboys Stadium). Should be a great game featuring two teams that were in the top 10 most of the year. Prediction: K St 27, Arkansas 31.
PGA Tournament of Champions (Golf Channel 5:30PM) - The first golf tournament of the season!! Despite not having Tiger or Lefty, plenty of good names will be competing for the first trophy of the year. Plus, you got to love sitting on the couch watching golf taking place in luscious Hawaii - spring is just 3 months away, but more importantly so is the Masters.
NHL Washington Capitals vs San José Sharks (Sat 10PM) - 4 wins in a row and after a lengthy 4 day break the red hot Caps visit the factory of sadness called San Jose HP Pavilion where they haven't won in forever. That ends on Saturday, Caps win 4-2.
NBA Lakers vs Clippers (Sat 1030PM NBA TV) - the battle of LA as Kobe and his Lakers try top put "the new hip kids" Clippers back in their place as the second best NBA team in the city.

Have a great weekend, unless you are a penguins fan
