Love the Har-Bowl nickname for this one and it should be a really good game too. Both teams are coming in strong and ready to rock. It should be a good one from start to finish and a tough one to call. Yet another rematch too.
San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick and Baltimore QB Joe Flacco have the best odds to win the Super Bowl MVP and in 5 of the last 6 years a QB has won the award including the last 3.
A rematch of last year’s AFC Championship won by the Patriots…barely. New England has the advantage of being at home but also should not be overlooking this opponent. Baltimore has to stay focused after fantastic road win last week.
The Falcons pulled victory from the jaws of defeat against Seattle on Sunday. Now they get a visit from a San Francisco team brimming with confidence and probably actually thrilled not to face the Seahawks once more.
Another rematch to close out the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Houston was embarrassed on their first visit to Foxborough. I expect they will play better but the end result is likely the same.
Last week Seattle put an end to Washington’s resurgence. This week they are looking to do the same to the NFC’s top seed in Atlanta.
A rematch of the season opener that San Francisco won at Green Bay…easily. Stakes are obviously higher this time around as both teams look to make it to the Super Bowl.
Ravens won but gave up lots of yards to the Colts who just couldn’t convert when it mattered most. Are they going to be able to have the same success against a Denver team clicking on all cylinders?
The last game of Wild Card weekend will probably be the most compelling. A couple of athletic rookie QBs looking to lead their teams to a championship. I like it.
People want to make a big deal about the Baltimore historical angle for this one but who cares. What is more interesting is whether Ray Lewis is going to let a rookie QB end his career. How much more Luck is left in that horseshoe?
A rematch of the season finale between these two divisional rivals. Now both teams are in win or go home mode, will the Packers be able to corral Adrian Peterson and grab the victory?
Cincinnati is looking to avenge last year’s playoff loss against Houston. The Bengals are looking good while Houston has dropped in the AFC standings big time on the last day of the season. Can they recover?
Both teams are eliminated but have something to play for. The Saints can make it to .500 a nice accomplishment for this regular season while Carolina seeks to continue to progress and finish strong.
Its too bad the Colts couldn’t have stolen the previous matchup making this one the best game of the week by far. As it is it could add some intrigue to a potential playoff matchup if the Colts win, even with the Texans having little to play for.
The Eagles are a disaster and believe it or not there is still a chance the Giants actually qualify for the playoffs…if they win. Lots of intrigue for this one but it should be an easy win for New York.
Every sport has its meaningless games but they somehow seem even more so in the NFL where people are trying to hurt each other. This game could be a little sloppy as both teams just want to get in and get it done.
