Analyst Previews Wild Card Weekend

Pittsburgh (93-7 The Fan) - Scouts Inc. and ESPN NFL writer Matt Williamson joined the Fan Morning Show to preview Wild Card weekend in the NFL.

Williamson said that the Indianapolis Colts would be the toughest match-up for the Pittsburgh Steelers because of Peyton Manning's ability to dissect their secondary.

He thinks the Baltimore Ravens are dangerous, but Ben Roethlisberger owns them having only lost to them once in his career.

Williamson told the guys the best game this weekend will be the Green Bay Packers against the Philadelphia Eagles. He thinks the game will be high-flying, though Green Bay isn't a good match up against Philly. He thinks the Packers, who have been hot heading into the playoffs, have a good shot to head to the Super Bowl out of the NFC.

Williamson doesn't think any of the four teams playing in the AFC Wild Card this weekend have a shot of getting past New England or Pittsburgh in the divisional round. He would would shocked if it is not the Steelers traveling to New England for the AFC Championship Game.

If the Steelers do travel to New England, Williamson said it will be the worst match-up for the Steelers' defense.

The way Tom Brady has been playing, he will be able to put up 30 points against the Steelers' defense and he doesn't know if the Steelers offense can match that.
