Are we going to be playing Saturday Jan 14 or Sun Jan 15?

THIS is what I really wanna know more than anything, cause I have Sundays off but sometimes work Saturdays.......However, Im pretty sure we will get the Sunday NFC slot.....and DMN agrees, or I guess I should say I agree with them lol.....

Once you understand that the 4 division winners get the top 4 seeds then it makes more sense, then 2 other teams that didn't win their division get the 5 and 6 (wild card).

So sometimes an 8-8 team or 9-7 team can get a home game against an 11 win team or even more wins than that if they didn't win their division. An example in the AFC Houston won their division at 9-7 they get a home game against Oakland who won 12 games. Houston is the 4 seed Oakland is the 5 seed since Oakland did not win their division.
I wish the league would fix this too. It's rediculous really.

So it sounds like we'll be playing the winner of:

GB or Det vs NY

Unless the loser of GB/Det happens to upset Seattle in the wild card game.

Giants have 11 wins. And the winner of GB/Detroit would have 10. So how would the Giants play us?
The Giants are wildcard team, the winner of GB/Detroit will be division champion. So even if a wildcard has a better record, the wildcard team will still play at the division winner.

Packers are going to win. This is the way I see it.

Wildcard
NY@GB
Det@Sea

Divisional
GB@Dal
Sea@Atl
I think Seattle could be in trouble. the defense isn't what it used to be and they have no running game.

I predict Tate has a monster day

Det @ Dal
GB @ ATL

GB @ Dal

KC VS Dal

I think you hit the nail on the head.
