Predicting the Playoff Landscape

The beans are ground, the coffee's brewed, and my Warwick Castle tankard is full. Now let us up to the battlements to peer upon the playoff landscape. Across the plains I spy charging Panthers and Steelers and Bears, oh my! Yes, my personal picks for friends and foes alike are as follows:
Seahawks over Redskins
Broncos over the Patriots
Colts over the Steelers
Panthers over the Bears
No time for any in-depth analysis as the first game starts in just over an hour, and I've still many tasks to accomplish. Apologies for the brevity. My tankard's almost empty and a little one just woke up!
