Wildcard Weekend Matchups are Set


Recommended Posts

These are all kind of meh games to me.

 

Seattle will handle business and I don't see that being close.

 

Green Bay is playing terrible, but whoever wins that game won't survive week 2.

 

Pittsburgh can be so very dangerous, but they are notorious for falling flat at any moment.

 

KC and Houston....who cares. Winner will get crushed in round 2.

Odd that the 2 seeds both seem to have the easiest road to the Super Bowl. Also odd that Minnesota screwed itself by winning. It's a pisser that the team with the best chance of knocking off New England (Pittsburgh) is on the other side of the bracket, but in reality, given the injuries to NE and most of the other teams' QBs, the AFC really looks extremely average this year. In any event, until the Bills are involved in the playoffs, I could not care less. Just going to have to double up on the good luck charms for next year I guess. Surely the drought can't last 17 years can it? Sigh.

Wild Card Weekend forecast: Road rulers?
It's the most wonderful time of the year! What can we expect in Round 1 of the playoffs? Elliot Harrison has road teams winning three of four games. Does that include Ben Roethlisberger's Steelers?

Wild Card Weekend preview: Packers-Redskins
File this under things you didn't expect to say in 2016: Kirk Cousins is starting a home playoff game. Can the rising quarterback stave off a cold as-of-late Packers squad in the Wild Card round?

KC/Houston is the definition of a "meh" game.
