Todays games on paper anyway should be the closest of what have been pretty much completely one sided playoff games this year.
In the Cowboy Packer game although Aaron Rogers is hot I dont see the team being strong enough to overcome their weak rushing offense and their average defense as they go against a Cowboy team that really did everything well. You have to factor in a rookie QB in Dallas although he has excelled at mistake free football.
Kansas City Pittsburgh could be ven closer. The Steelers whipped a Chiefs team with injuries early in the season at home 43-14. Both teams finished very strong. It should be a great game.
I have no idea who will win either game. I would then tend to lean towards the home teams who are undefeated in the playoffs this year......but averages mean that likely a home team will lose.
Regular season has home teams at about a .570 win percentage with the playoffs a 100 points higher. As the playoff rounds go on the percentage increases so averages would say a home team will lose today.
I wouldnt try to pick todays games

Dallas trying to pass when they cant stop Elliot. Stupid call on the intercepted toss. I actually hate Dallas and want GB to win but this is an epic coaching fail.

Elliott had an on/off game. Big runs intermittent with stuffs isn't usually a sustaining strategy.
In 4th Q, Dez Bryant was a fish net, catching anything going upstream.
Green Bay has always had the issue of slacking off when they are ahead.
Usually it worst when they are way ahead at the half. And typically can never get back to form.
GB was lucky Dallas scored some before the half. So GB did not just go soft totally second half.. Though as usual, they just did not have the same effort as the first quarter. Only the last half of the fourth quarter did GB decide they had to make the big effort.
.
Abandoning the run, their only chance to ball control and keep the Packer offense off the field. Prescott is 4/9 passing and Elliot only has six carries but for thirty yards for a five yard average.
Looks like their D is not going to stop the Pack or get any pass rush either.
I knew all the home teams couldnt win there has never been a year when they have.

"E Burres Stigano?"
don't care one way or the other for the other teams this year. I was in school at KU when the Chiefs won the Superbowl when it was young. Len Dawson, Curly Culp, Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, etc. So I've stuck with them from a distance since before 1969, not that I follow them closely. If the Niners didn't suck and were still in the running, I'd be a Niners fan again now. The on and off Broncos are the other team I like to see win.
As I said I cant see any team with a real advantage but I lke the home teams.

Rodgers is pinpoint effortless; the offense is very good all around; defense is also good enough. In Dallas is a factor, but I like the Pack. Rodgers is the biggest difference. Pack by 4.
Steelers will take it if Ben R isn't crippled. Leveon Bell is running well. Curtain by 6.
Yesterday's Seahawks were pathetic. Once a magnificent team to watch; they got older and figured out. And copied. Personality squabbling has crippled them more than injuries. It all goes back to that Superbowl goal line interception on the dumbest play call in history. They haven't been the same since. Falcons are very tough and fast. At this point, they are my pick for champs.
New England is great as always, but also aging. Far too many mistakes and shortfalls in yesterday's game. No longer having the same horsepower they did.
Great synopsis. Hard to disagree with any of it. I am just not sure the Packer D is up to the task.
