The Steelers #5 ranked defense heads to Buffalo to face the Bills #2 ranked defense in what could be the lowest scoring game of the playoffs. Both teams have struggled at quarterback this year with the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger throwing 24 picks on the year. Buffalo, meanwhile, had started both Ryan Mallett and E.J. Manuel this season and that duo has combined for 25 INTs on the year. Each team has a two-headed, power rushing attack so expect that to be the focus. The team that wins in the tranches in this game will likely be the one moving on to the AFC Championship game.

This game is a polar opposite of the other AFC matchup as the Broncos boast the league's best offense and the Colts are ranked #10.While Denver has struggled with turnovers this year, their offense has been prolific enough to overcome most of them on their way to a 13-3 record. The Colts, meanwhile, feature a stellar running game along with efficient passing from Andrew Luck. This could be the highest scoring game of the playoffs and one sure to entertain those who like to see scoring.

The Seahawks come into this game having won 12 of their last 13 games to finish 13-3 and lock up the #1 seed in the NFC. The Lions, meanwhile, have been outscored 91-52 over their last three games and finished the season on a 1-2 skid. Seattle boasts the league's best defense leading the league in yards allowed, points allowed and team sacks. Detroit, on the other hand, boasts the NFL's 4th highest scoring offense. The old adage is that defense wins championships. Even with their high powered passing game, the Lions will have a huge hurdle to overcome if they want to get to their first NFC Championship game since 1991.

Chicago won their last three games of the year to finish 11-5 and secure the NFC North crown. While the Bears are not dominant in any one aspect, they are sound on both offense and defense and can present challenges for any team in the playoffs. The Eagles, meanwhile, started off 10-1 before ending the season with a 2-2 stretch. Philadelphia was the league's highest scoring offense during the regular season and led the league with 26 rushing TD's. They also boast the NFL's 4th lowest points allowed total. The Philadelphia crowd can be a tough obstacle to overcome so the Bears will need to play nearly flawless football to overcome what looks to be a huge disadvantage from the outside.​
