Ken Hawk's Friday Huddle Quick Hits - Playoff Week 1

• Happy 2007 from Ken Hawk! The man celebrated the New Year's Eve at a drinking contest, and decided to make things interesting by matching his opponents' drinks with his own shots of motor oil.
• Hawk (right) was arrested at 6 AM New Year's Day, publicly intoxicated and talking to a discarded pair of pants in a bus station men's room.
• The playoffs have arrived and the second season begins. Back to 0-0. What a team has done up to this point no longer matters. Last year 3 of 4 visitors won the wild card weekend.
• This cheerleader makes my pants smile.
• At the moment it looks like the home team in each of the wild card games is favored over the visitors.
• The Sunday AFC wild card game features the Patriots and Jets in Foxboro, split 1-1 between them during the season.
• This will be a cold one, a rivalry gets mean as the Jets got the Pats' number once this season. Hawk doesn't see New England being caught off-guard again by a New York team inexperienced in several phases of its structure.
• Ken will also be taking the Eagles to put an end to the Giants season on Sunday. Philadelphia carries incredible momentum into the playoffs. A troubled New York club hasn't beaten a good team in weeks, and would need a perfect game to overcome their rivals, and Hawk just doesn't see it happening.
• The two Saturday wild card match-ups look to be less one-sided and a bit more intriguing.
• In the AFC its the Chiefs at the Colts. Kansas City is locked and loaded with Johnson and set to roll. Indianapolis comes in with the No. 2 passing offense in the league.
• The Chiefs seem to be the upset of the week, but Ken's going with the Colts. I just don't see a road-challenged KC outscoring the Indy offense. Colts execute and win the shootout.
• And the NFC pits a fight in the Northwest when the Seahawks play host to the Cowboys.
• Both teams have been hard to gauge what with some serious inconsistency the past few weeks. The Cowboys have looked as if they've lost their identity. The Seahawks haven't had much of a fight in them at all this year.
• This is about as difficult as they get, but this one's for you BND. I'll be going with the 'Boys for an upset. Bottom line, Dallas' play has been shaky, but Seattle has never recovered to the 2005 play. At this point the team has simply suffered too many injuries to hold off the Cowboys rush and receiving corps.
• Wild Card weekend picks:
• Indianapolis > Kansas City
• Dallas > Seattle UPSET
• New England > NY Jets
• Philadelphia > NY Giants
