Barnwell: NFL playoff kryptonite for every team

Related Topics: Kryptonite

We're about to embark on a weird NFL postseason. The top seed in the AFC, Denver, doesn't know -- or at least won't admit -- the identity of its starting quarterback. The scariest team in each conference might be the No. 6 seed, Pittsburgh and Seattle. Perennial contenders such as the Patriots and Packers seem to be limping into the postseason, although that probably doesn't matter much. It's entirely possible that the four road teams could all be favored to win this weekend. Things already are bizarre.

That should lead to a postseason where there's no clear favorite.
