Virgil Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronyAbounds Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 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: Seahawks-VikingsCan the Vikings make up for their blowout at the hands of the Seahawks earlier this season? Around The NFL's Chris Wesseling breaks down the playoff matchup. Wild Card Weekend preview: Packers-RedskinsFile 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? Wild Card Weekend preview: Steelers-BengalsMarc Sessler breaks down the Pittsburgh at Cincinnati AFC Wild Card matchup. The Steelers have the firepower on offense to hang with anyone, but can they topple the rugged Bengals defense? Wild Card Weekend preview: Chiefs-TexansThe Chiefs are headed to Houston to take on the Texans on Saturday. Around The NFL's Chris Wesseling breaks down the playoff matchup.
