The Steelers didn't catch any luck from Cincinnati yesterday, but maybe they can in a few weeks. I am hoping the Bengals and Steelers both win next weekend so Pittsburgh can take on Baltimore in the divisional round. They beat us twice, and I do not want to avoid them, I want them right away. Here are my predictions for the 2011-12 NFL Playoffs.

Wild Card Weekend:

Cincinnati @ Houston, Saturday, January 7, 4:30pm

Detroit @ New Orleans, Saturday, January 7, 8:00pm

Atlanta @ New York Giants, Sunday, January 8, 1:00pm

Pittsburgh @ Denver, Sunday, January 8, 4:30pm

Divisional Round:

New Orleans @ San Fran, Saturday, January 14, 4:30pm

Cincinnati @ New England, Saturday, January 14, 8:00pm

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore, Sunday, January 15, 1:00pm

Atlanta @ Green Bay, Sunday, January 15, 4:30pm

Championship Weekend:

New Orleans @ Green Bay, Sunday January 22

Pittsburgh @ New England, Sunday January 22

Super Bowl

New Orleans @ New England, Sunday, February 5

Sorry, as much as I want to be a homer and predict the Steelers win the Super Bowl, I just can't see them going into Gillette and beating Brady. Even if they did, they would have their hands full with New Orleans or Green Bay. I'll still be cheering loudly for them, and I hope I am wrong. Maybe, if the Bengals win this weekend, they can go into New England and give them hell. Nothing wrong with a Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh AFC Championship game. :)
