The Divisonals

This week in The NFL is the divisional playoffs where the teams who had the first round byes now play against the teams who won the wildcard matches.

The AFC

The New England Patriots were seeded at the number two spot so they host the Indianapolis Colts who were seeded at the number four spot. The Patriots are favourites to win as they play at home in The Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Indianapolis Colts are 5-3 on the road and the New England Patriots are 8-0 at home.

The second divisional match-up is the Denver Broncos who are seeded at number one so they host the San Diego Chargers who are seeded at number six. They play in Denver at the Sport Authority Stadium at Mile High Stadium in Colorado. The Broncos are favourites to win but there was a mix up during the regular as the Chargers came from behind to win. The Chargers are on a five game winning streak and are likely to do what the Colts did in their wildcard game - come back from 28 points down.

The NFC

The Seattle Seahawks seeded number one host the sixth seeded New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks play in Washington in The Century Link Field. The Saints from New Orleans play in the Super Dome where last year's Super Bowl was played. The Seattle Seahawks are favourites to win in the rainy weather.

The second divisional match-up is the second seeded Carolina Panthers who host the fifth seeded San Francisco 49ers. The Panthers will host the 49ers in North Carolina at the Bank Of America Stadium. This is will most likely be the game of the week as both offenses have mobile quarterbacks and have very good defences. The Panthers are favourtites as they beat the 49ers in the regular season on the road in San Francisco 10-9. This week on the NFL will be very exciting. Enjoy Watching!
