AFC Championship
Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots
There are plenty of key story lines in this game. On one side you have the great Tom Brady. The Tom Brady that has 3 Super Bowl rings on his fingers. The Tom Brady that has the chance to surpass the legendary Joe Montana for most playoff wins and tie him for most Super Bowl rings if he wins two more games. The New England Patriots dynasty of a decade ago seems like a distant memory right now. The last few post-season images in Brady's head are David Tyree making the most miraculous catch in the history of football ending his bid for a 4th ring and two recent home playoff loses to the Ravens and Jets. With guys like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and even TIM TEBOW getting most of the publicity this season; it's clear Brady has played with a chip in his shoulder all season.

All this talk that Eli Manning of the New York Giants is great is making my head spin. I am confused if people are saying that he is Elite this season or for his career? I don't really think either apply and all this talk is garbage. I mean, Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, and he's not elite.

This weekend's NFC side of the divisional round will feature the best two games of the playoffs so far. One game will feature a rematch between the New York Giants and the 15-1 Green Back Packers. The two teams faced off in December in the Meadowlands and it was a pretty close game. It was the first time all season we saw the Packers trail in the 4th quarter and the first time Aaron Rodgers led his team from behind to a game winning field goal. The second game features what will likely be the best game of the weekend in my opinion. It will be he red-hot top ranked offense of Drew Brees and the Saints against the red-hot, top ranked defense of Patrick Willis and the 49ers. Something will have to give.

The wild card round was pretty exciting, but it is now officially the best weekend in football. The divisional round of the playoffs usually always delivers with big time games and exciting moments. The last time all four home teams won on wild card weekend was in 2006. This sets up a battle between the top four seeds in both conferences. This is also the last time four football games will be played in a weekend. After this weekend there are only 3 football games left in the NFL season; so enjoy this while you can.

The NCAA Season is halfway over with conference play in full swing. A lot of shakeups from early season predictions with teams unexpectedly winning and losing. Time to separate the winners versus those who won't get out of the first weekend come March.
