Playoff games nfl 2010

The schedule solidifies the TV schedule, though of course, with the exception of the wild-card weekend, the entirety of the schedule can't be known until some games are played.

While wild-card teams are at a distinct disadvantage in the playoffs, as they play on the road the entire time, if they can continue to win.

Of course, last year, the Arizona Cardinals, who almost nobody thought could go anywhere, made it all the way to the Super Bowl.

Many felt the Cardinals should have won. Miami is ahead of the L. Chargers based on common games record to the Chargers' Jets are ahead of Houston based on head to head Green Bay.

Tampa Bay. San Francisco. New Orleans. Dallas is ahead of the L. Rams based on conference record to the Rams' Philadelphia is ahead of New Orleans based on head to head Washington is ahead of Atlanta and Seattle based on head-to-head sweep Seattle is ahead of Atlanta based on common games record to the Falcons' Notes During the regular season, the seeds reflect how the playoffs would stand if the season ended up to that point.

The Eagles had six regular season games against teams that finished with double-digit wins and they went in those games and lost by an average of Of course, one of those losses came in a game where the Eagles were resting their starters In Week 18 against the Cowboys , so if we take out that game, then they went and lost those five games by an average of 11 points per game. Not much better. The other thing that worries me about the Eagles is that this is basically the worst possible matchup for them.

The Eagles led the NFL in rushing this year and if they were playing any other team, I'd honestly give some serious thought to picking an upset, but they're playing a Buccaneers team that is literally built to stop the run. The Bucs surrendered the fewest rushing yards in the NFC and were one of only three teams in the NFL this year to give up less than 93 yards per game on the ground. The last time we saw these two teams on the field together, the Buccaneers won by six and I feel like we're going to see something similar on Sunday.

Also, we might as well go ahead and crown the winner of this game as the Super Bowl champ because any time Brady has faced an NFC East team in the playoffs, the winning team has ended up winning the Super Bowl. Record picking Eagles games this season: straight-up, against the spread Record picking Buccaneers games this season: straight-up, against the spread.

As you can clearly see, one of my goals for is to start sucking up to my bosses more. Not only is this one of the best postseason rivalries in NFL history, but more importantly, we're finally going to know who we should be blaming for the Falcons' epic collapse in Super Bowl LI.

In that game, the Falcons head coach was Dan Quinn, who is now the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. The Falcons offensive coordinator in that Super Bowl was Kyle Shanahan, who is now the 49ers head coach. The fact that those two guys will be on opposite sidelines adds an interesting layer of intrigue to this game. Shanahan knows everything that Quinn might throw at him on defense while Quinn is well aware of everything that Shanahan might try on offense.

The problem for Quinn's defense is that it has struggled to stop the run over the past few months. Although everyone has been focussing on the offensive slump the Cowboys were in, their defense has also been struggling at times.

Since Week 9, they've surrendered yards per game on the ground, which is one of the worst numbers in the NFL over that span. The Cowboys are this year when they surrender more than yards on the ground and they're playing a 49ers team that loves to run the ball. Also, I'm still not quite sure how good the Cowboys are.

Although they went , half of their wins came from beating up on their division: Dallas went against the NFC East, but just against everyone else. On the flip side, the 49ers seemed to thrive in non-divisional games: San Francisco went NFC West play, but against everyone else. If the Cowboys really are America's team, then I feel sorry for the 49ers, because America is going to hate them after this game.

Record picking 49ers games this season: straight-up, against the spread Record picking Cowboys games this season: straight-up, against the spread. I don't know quite remember what I was doing the day after Christmas, oh wait, yes I do, I was watching the Steelers get smoked by the Chiefs. Back in Week 16, Kansas City absolutely destroyed the Steelers in a game where I'm not sure the score even did justice for how badly the Chiefs dominated.

If the Steelers are going to flip the script and pull off a win this time around, they're likely going to need a miracle, which might sound impossible, but I'm definitely not going to rule out, because they also needed a miracle to get into the playoffs and we all saw how that turned out. To pull off the upset, the Steelers are going to need to put some serious pressure on Patrick Mahomes and force him into making multiple mistakes.

Of Kansas City's five losses this year, four of them came in games where Mahomes threw at least one interception. If the Steelers defense is good at one thing, it's getting to the quarterback.

Thanks in large part to T. Watt's NFL record-tying Of the 15 games Watt played in this year, the Steelers went when he recorded at least one sack and when he didn't.

If Watt can get to Mahomes once or twice, that could give the Steelers an outside chance to pull off the upset. On the other hand, the biggest problem for the Steelers is that if this turns into a shootout, they simply don't have the firepower to keep up.
