Kansas City Chiefs (9-7) @ Indianapolis Colts (12-4)
This game pits one of the leagues best runners Larry Johnson against the worst run defense in the league. This has upset written all over it. Peyton Manning might be without Reggie Wayne. If Tony Dungy loses in the first round there might be calls for his dismissal. Peyton Manning has an abysmal 3-6 playoff record. A victory would really help Herm Edwards stake his claim as an effective coach. It is a long shot, but look for a Chiefs victory and the unraveling of the Colts after this first round loss.
Prediction: Kansas City 31 Indianapolis 28
New York Jets (10-6) @ New England Patriots (12-4)
Its mentor versus student Round 3. The Pats soundly defeated the Jets in the Meadowlands but were beaten in New England. I'm calling for another surprising upset with Mangini doing his magic against Belichick. The line is Patriots giving 8. I was only going to call for the Jets to cover, but I have feeling the unimaginable will happen and Tom Brandy will go down. Yes, the bonnix is calling for two upsets in the AFC!
Prediction: New York 24 New England 23
