Great Guru Playoff Forecast: Round 1

Ah, a new year has arrived, as well as a new set of playoff teams. Today marks the beginning of the NFL playoffs. The doubleheader starts at 4:30 and lasts until well past 11. Translation: football fans are now in paradise.

But back to the new year. Since resolutions are always being made at this time of year, I've decided that, for this week, I not only will forecast the games, but also do my best to guess some of the resolutions.

-The Eagles ought to try resolving to actually get into the end zone this time. Tony Romo has probably made his resolution a playoff victory. Both will succeed. Cowboys continue to roll.

-I'm guessing that the Packers (as well as the rest of the NFC) have resolved to not let the Cardinals sneak up again this year. The way Aaron Rodgers is playing, it'll probably come true. Cheaseheads move on.

-Could Bill Belicheck possibly have resolved to actually punt the ball this year? Think again. Will the Ravens succeed in their resolution to end the Patriots winning streak at home, as well as their resolution to live up to their hype? Think again. Pats and Belicheck win, despite no resolution.

-Chad Ochocinco has more than likely decided on a resolution: catch a few passes against the Jets this time. I don't know what the Jets could possibly resolve to, since they're apparently a perfect team, at least according to Rex Ryan. Too bad he's wrong. Bengals change their luck, but will Ochocinco change his name?
