Who Wins A Playoff Game First?

Under identical circumstances I'd go Cardinals, then Bengals, then Vikings, and I won't even consider DC's crap squad to be part of this question, Gruden or not.  But the Bengals have the best shot to win their division out of all of these teams, so i they get a home playoff game I'd give them the "most likely to win" moniker.  Then again, if a team is a 10-6 wildcard and gets to play a 7-9 division winner that could be better than hosting a 10-6 wild card.

Oh, the mind boggles.

Vikings will be better than the Cardinals next year.
