As we get our feet wet in the year 2010,
Don't look now the NFL playoffs are set to begin.
Some of the usual suspects have returned to compete,
While others will have to prove they belong with the elite.
The defending champion Steelers won't get to defend,
As a 5-game losing streak was just too far to bend.
Saints, Vikings, Colts and Chargers all earned week 1 byes,
But the NFC East champion Cowboys seem to be on the rise.
Brady and the Patriots will be without Welker in the slot,
Meanwhile the Ravens travel to Foxboro to give their best shot.
Rematches are the story heading into postseason play,
With 3 Wild Card games the same as the regular season's final day.
The Bengals haven't won a playoff game in 19 years,
With a Jets rematch played at home, Ochocinco may earn some cheers.
The Cardinals want the Super Bowl for the second year in a row,
But a rematch with the Packers looms and 'Zona needs a better show.
The Eagles lost the division to the Cowboys on the road,
Now after 2 losses to Dallas, Philly has to bring quite the load.
The teams are set and we shall call this the "January Journey,"
Winners keep the dream alive while losers feel like leaving on a gurney.
No prediction this time but I will include my input as a fan,
I'll be pulling for the ageless Favre to show the Packers who's the man.
I'm partial to the QB position as my favorite of all-time is Dan Marino,
So who better than Favre to watch in Miami? Take that to the Vegas casino.
