Playoffs: Wild Card and Round 2
 
#5 New York Giants +2 @ #4 Pittsburgh
The Giants swept division rival Pittsburgh during the regular season. Both games had tie scores for much of the 4th quarter. New York scored the go ahead touchdowns with 1:53 and 2:36 left in the games and the Steelers turned it over both times on their final drives.
 
#4 Atlanta +7 vs #5 Boston
Visiting team favored in this one. These division mates split their matches with Boston getting dominated in week 1, 30-13. In week 16, the Patriots won narrowly, 23-21.
 
#3 San Francisco +15 @ #2 Washington
The 49ers have rode Man Pass Blitz-1 Line-Inside and a ball control running offense to the playoffs. SF upset WAS in week 6, 23-21. SF's is missing 3 starters on their offensive line. But their offensive line wasn't that great to being with so it may not make a difference.
 
#3 San Diego +6 @ #2 Carolina
The Chargers lost in week 11 to the Panthers, 27-26 on the final play of the game - Romo to Celek for a 9 yard TD. Great game.
