Kansas and Pittsburgh going to Houston and Cincinnati respectively while New England and Denver are through to the divisional.
Seattle go to Minnesota and Green Bay travel to Washington after the Vikings won in the late game! Carolina and Arizona await the victors of the NFC wildcard round.
I fancy every wildcard team to progress this year. The strongest divisional winners are definitely Minnesota and Cincinnati but they have it far from easy against Seattle and Pittsburgh. While I can see Houston and Washington getting turned over as well.
Can only see wins for Kansas,Pittsburgh, and Seattle with green Bay at Redskins only doubt in my mind purely as Rodgers has been bashed up last couple of weeks.
Fancy Steelers vs Arizona/Seattle in the Superbowl now.
2 weeks ago you would have said the Cards and Panthers were nailed on for the NFC championship. I now think it will be the Seahawks who will win the NFC. The AFC is harder to call, Manning coming back was big last night, but I have a funny feeling the Steelers will somehow end of winning the AFC.
So Super Bowl will be Seahawks vs steelers - winner Hawks
Think my Redskins have an even chance v the Pack. Will be close and probably decided by turnovers/penalties. 6/8 wins at home and Cousins cutting out the interceptions. Great effort from this seasons 31st ranked team:)
Agree about the other wild card teams - they should all progress. However will Williams be fit for the Steelers - either way the Bungals usually choke?
Always fancied the Seahawks. Could have been a threepeat for them, but for that crass decision to throw at the end of the Superbowl.
Pats have been crap the past couple of weeks, injuries taking their toll, plays being found out, conserving themselves for the post season, or easier games at the start of the schedule? I hope its a mixture of 1 and 3.

But it will be Raiders for Superbowl LI ......
Raiders lack depth as well as FS/SS MLB, G, T and another pass rusher especially if Edwards neck injury is serious.
We should have many of these sorted in free agency and the draft ( not a lot of top end talent this year but generally strong)
We now look like a team on the up so attracting free agents not just with extra $$ should be easier.
If we move to LA (hope not) that will help as well.
I think play offs should be the minimum next year.
Just on my way back from a New Years trip to Dallas. Man, the Cowboys are nearly as bad as Charlton. No worthy QB back up, no Receiver with Dez's physical presence no RB good enough to win games like Di Marco Murray. The stadium is absolutely amazing though - even managed to score my PAT attempt, which nowadays is 35 yards out!
If the Cowboys are nearly as bad, the chargers are the NFL's Charlton equivalent, especially when it comes to finding a way to lose. Only the chargers could force 5 turnovers against Denver and still lose the game. Add in all the injuries and a fan base not convinced by the owner....starting to sound too similar.
The only positive is Denver struggled to beat what was essentially Rivers + a practice squad, can't see them going deep into the playoffs. NFC is stronger by far this year. I'd go Chiefs or Steelers from the AFC but could be any one of Panthers, Packers, Cardinals, Seahawks or even Vikings from the NFC.

Without doubt, the loss of Romo ended their season, he has been a big big miss for them. But when you have players like Jason Witten, you are always in with a chance but even he seemed to be having a poor second half to the season compared to normal.
Mind you, it was good to see them lose at home to the Redskins ( although was a shame to spoil your adventure supaclive ).

Well nobody around here is really sure. I think consensus is that they were half into not getting any more injuries, and half into winning - which of course results in not winning, and more injuries. Part of me is pissed they gave up the #1 seed, but the other part isn't, as I wouldn't be able to go to the game as I'll be off skiing.
But, assuming the get healthy before their next game, I'd expect them to win, and end up playing the Steelers at home. I'm certain they'll beat the Bengals (because they're the Bengal, and losing in big games is what they do), and I don't think Denver can out score them, even at Mile High.
Aww man, I wish I could afford to go to the Giants game. Looks like all they have left are £60 tickets, and that's restricted view. Other wise its £80.

I don't think individual game tickets are on sale yet. Only season tickets for all 3 games.
Big Ben will kill us again in another unconvincing play off loss 34-17 Steelers, roll on September!!!
Just seen that the Bengals game is on a death o'clock sat night, not only do I get the see the boys bounce swiftly out of the post season once again I also get to ruin Sunday by being knackered as well, brilliant
