Summary

The NFL Playoffs are one week away and there are matchups we are hoping to see in Round 1 like the Chicago Bears taking on the Green Bay Packers in a trilogy of NFC North madness. The New England Patriots need to prove their season with a third matchup against the Buffalo Bills. In the AFC, there may be no more compelling matchup than the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Houston Texans, but the Steelers have to make the dance first with a win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Jacksonville Jaguars have the most explosive offense in the conference and it could make for a very exciting game with the Bills as well. In the NFC West, basically any of the three playoff participants will make for compelling football, but seeing the Los Angeles Rams go to Chicago would be a lot of fun and the Seattle Seahawks going to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers also could be enjoyable.
