Many expected the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints to be playing in this game, but both the 49ers and Giants pulled off huge upsets last weekend to put themselves in position to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl on February 5th. This will be a rematch from a 27-20 home victory by the 49ers on November 13th. San Francisco scored two touchdowns in a span of a minute in the fourth quarter...

This will be a rematch from Week 13, which saw the Packers squeak out a 38-35 road victory over the Giants. New York would tie the game with 58 seconds left on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Hakeem Nicks. However, the Packers still had plenty of time left, and they moved the ball right down the field to set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning 30-yard field goal as time expired. Oddsmakers...

That meant that New Orleans would have to play a first-round game as the No. 3 seed. Though it was not easy, the Saints would take care of the Detroit Lions at home to advance to the second round to face the 49ers. Oddsmakers have installed...

The Falcons sealed their spot in the playoffs despite losing in Week 16, but earned the No. 5 seed after a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. That win, coupled with a Detroit loss, allowed Atlanta to avoid having to play New Orleans in the opening round. These two teams have a very strange history....

It appeared that their Week 17 showdown could possibly be for a NFC wild card berth, but after close losses last week, both have been eliminated. Each will be playing for pride Sunday as they both try to get to .500 on the season. Seattle won the first meeting 13-10 at home on September 25th in a hard-fought defensive battle. After losing four in a row to the Cardinals,...

They could earn a first-round bye if they get a few breaks to go their way. First things first, and that’s taking care of a pesky Cleveland Browns team in Week 17 on the road Sunday. Cleveland certainly won’t fold for their division rivals. They nearly upset Pittsburgh on December 8th, falling by a final of 14-3 in a game that went right down to the wire. Ben Roethlisberger found Antonio Brown on a 79-yard touchdown strike with 2:52 remaining...

While both teams nothing to play for in terms of the playoffs, there is something very important still riding on it. In fact, there are some Colts fans who are cheering for the Jaguars heading into this one. If Indianapolis loses this game or finishes tied with the St. Louis Rams or Minnesota Vikings for the most losses, they would earn the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft. Oddsmakers in Las...

This is a meaningless game as both teams are eliminated from the playoffs, so it will come down to which team wants it more. Chicago won the first meeting in a 39-10 blowout at home, earning their forth straight victory over the Vikings. Jay Cutler threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns, while Matt Forte rushed for 87 yards in the win. Neither will play Sunday. Taking a look at the NFL lines for Week 17, I find a...
