NFL Playoffs Heating Up

Hello. This upcoming weekend has been described as the best NFL weekend of the year. 4 games with arguably the top 8 teams left. For New England, Indy, Green Bay and Dallas, the wait to see they were playing Jacksonville, San Diego, Seattle and the NY Giants respectively.
Surprisingly, the game people in an si.com poll thought there would most likely be an upset in was Giants/Dallas. While I do think it's a possibility, I'd wager on Seattle/Green Bay.
Also surprisingly, people said the least chance of an upset was Indy/San Diego. What more does New England have to do to be an overwhelming favourite? While Jacksonville could give New England all they can handle and beat them, I think there's more chance of San Diego beating Indy.
The reason this is seen as a great slate of games is Green Bay and Dallas have boosted the NFC's credibility. I agree with Peter King that a New England/Dallas or New England/Green Bay Super Bowl would be the top rated TV show of all-time, surpassing the MASH final episode, because of Tony Romo, Brett Favre and Tom Brady's popularity transending from sports into mainstream celebrities.
We'll see what happens! I predict New England, Indy, Seattle and Dallas.

Regards,
Steve
