The NFL playoffs have begun and that means one thing - College basketball is king and the countdown to Spring Training can begin! Erm, I mean, there will be great football on today. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Anywho, today's Titanic Struggles are as follows:

Bengals @ Texans, 4:30 PM, NBC - The Bengals look for their first playoff win since the first Bush was president. The last time the Bengals won a playoff game, their opponent? You guessed it, Houston. My Prediction - Bengals 24, Texans 10. This game would be completely different if Houston had a decent QB. I'm really happy for Andre Johnson though.

Lions @ Saints, 8:30 PM, NBC - I have a feeling this game's going to get ugly. My Prediction - Saints 41, Lions 14.

As is the case with these types of threads, if yoou don't want to talk football that's cool too. College basketball is in full swing, with UK hosting South Carolina at 4:00, Ohio State at Iowa at 3:00, Notre Dame visiting Louisville at 4:00, and #18 Murray State visiting Austin Peay tonight at 8:00 on ESPNU. I'm curious to see Murray St. play, there's talk of them going undefeated through the regular season.

So what are your predictions for today's games? What did you want to be when you grew up? Do you have any Grey Poupon?
