NFL Wild Card Saturday Through Patriots Eyes

The best time of the year (the NFL playoffs) is finally upon us. Wild-card weekend is one of the best sports weekends we have, and today’s games have a big impact on the Patriots going forward. The Texans-Chiefs game is the early tilt, while Bengals-Steelers closes the day out. If the Steelers top Cincy, New England will play the winner of the early game, but if the Bengals win, Tom Brady and company will attempt to tame the Tiger next weekend at Gillette.

So who should the Pats be rooting for? The best case scenario for New England would be if the Steelers and Texans both won, because that would mean the Patriots would get to host Houston for their divisional round game next week.
