After yesterday's two NFL playoff games went more or less according to script - Green Bay and New England both won at home, by margins of 22 and 11 points, respectively - today was definitely a horse of a different colour! Both of the matchups today featured frequent lead changes and came right down to the final minute of play with the outcome still in doubt. The Giants and Chargers pulled off road victories, sending the # 1 (NFC - Dallas) and # 2 (AFC - Colts) seeds to the showers early in this postseason.
Although I was hoping for a # 1 vs # 2 Conference Final in each of the conferences, I'm more than happy with what we actually got:
# 2 Green Bay vs # 5 NY Giants
# 1 New England vs # 3 San Diego
It should make for a great Conference Final weekend, which is often the best set of playoff games of the year. I just hope San Diego's healed up enough by then to put their best team on the field, as otherwise it's going to be an easy Win # 18 for the Patriots!
