NFL playoffs

I think the Pack and the Pats are easily the 2 hottest teams right now. We will see if they continue.
If the first half Packers show up to Dallas next week, they go home. 2nd half Packers play for a Super Bowl.
Giants out.. just one more team to go down for the Superbowl to be enjoyable.
I'm not sure the Pats are "hot" right now.. more so just that they are really good. Coaching, Defense.. Brady dumps the ball so quick that opposing defenses don't matter much. But they haven't played a good team since the Seahawks in early November. Their schedule was pretty cake, in retrospect. 5 games against playoff teams.. 3 of those are Dolphins and Texans. a Bunch of nobodies otherwise. 9 games against teams under .500.. and like 2 more agains't teams right AT .500
For the amount of Conference/Division titles, getting 1st round byes and Home field.. only winning the SB 4 times in 16 years, isn't that impressive to me. They made a living feasting off the most mediocre teams in the AFCE. When all they need to do is win 3 games in the playoffs, year in and year out.. to only have 4 rings? With cheating? With Tuck rule, not running Lynch?

Still.. they couldn't have lucked out any better. Raiders lose their QB.. Big Ben is hobbled... they'll walk to the Superbowl for sure.
I'm pretty meh on all of the teams left, but Pats v. Cowboys would be the most hyped sporting event in the history of ever, and it makes me sick thinking about it.
I'm a Packers and Chiefs fan at this point. Get Randall Cobb a ring, and if they can't do it, I can't think of a coach more deserving of one than Andy Reid.
Give me the Chiefs or Steelers and Cowboys or Falcons. Otherwise, I'll hate one of the teams in it.
I'd have to BigBlueSean my TV and signup for Sling or some other garbage cord cutter just so I could avoid ESPN for a few weeks.
