Saturdays action kicks off with an AFC matchup between the 9-7 Houston Texans and 12-4 Oakland Raiders. The Texans are somehow hosting a playoff game despite finishing seventh to last in point differential and fourth to last in DVOA. Houston will be starting Brock Osweiler just a few weeks after benching him in favor of Tom Savage, who is now injured. The Raiders quarterback situation isnt any better. Injuries to Derek Carr and Matt McGloin are now forcing rookie fourth-round pick Connor Cook into action. Can the Raiders win their first playoff game since 2003? Or will Houston be able to avoid another first round exit?
Saturday nights game features an NFC battle. The 9-7 Detroit Lions will travel out west to play the 10-5-1 Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks havent been as dominant as they usually are this season, but theyre still a very good home time. Seattle is 38-6 in their last 44 home games. The Lions will have a tough task playing on the road, but they might not go down without a fight. Matthew Stafford belongs in the MVP conversation based on how hes played this season.
Sundays games begin with an AFC matchup between the 10-6 Miami Dolphins and the 11-5 Pittsburgh Steelers. Ryan Tannehill isnt healthy so the Dolphins will once again be starting Matt Moore under center. The Steelers, meanwhile, are entering the post-season red hot.
