Chiefs vs Pats: as a pats fan I can't go against my team. I think this game will come down to how well the patriots can protect Tom Brady. If they can give him time this will be a runaway, if not it will be a 1-2 possession game.
Cardinals vs Packers: Cardinals in an easy game. They are just too good on both sides of the ball. I think they are the best team left.
Seahawks vs Panthers: I like the panthers here. It will be a very close low scoring game, but RW will commit a couple of turovers and the Panther are good enough to capatilize(unlike the Vikings).
Steelers vs Broncos: this is a hard one to predict. Antiono Brown is out, Big Ben is hurt, the steelers defense is pretty useless. On the other hand, we don't know what Manning will look like. I haven't bought into the hype that he's back(going 5-9 for 70 yrds is not back). I'll say steelers, because I don't see the Broncos winning with Manning at QB.
