The Road to Miami Has left us with eight teams remaining in the NFL playoffs, and this weekend should be no different with fast paced action.
The Divisional Playoff Round will start off in the Superdome as the NFC West Champion Arizona Cardinals take on the New Orleans Saints, the Number One Seed in the NFC(4:30PM; FOX). Then the AFC’s Number One Seeded Indianapolis Colts take on the Baltimore Ravens (8PM; CBS).
The Action will continue as Bret Farve and the NFC Central Champion Minnesota Vikings will host the NFC East Champion Dallas Cowboys, and finally, the New York Jets will bring Rookie Quarterback Mark Sanchez back to Southern California, only this time they face Philip Rivers and the AFC West Champion San Diego Chargers.
Although home field advantage should be seen a given at times, last year’s results don’t play too much favor to the teams coming off the bye week. Only one home team won last year in the divisional playoffs (The eventual Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers). Also, the past two NFC champions have not been a #1 or #2 seed. After seeing this year’s Wild Card Weekend, anything is possible.
And I mean Anything.
