With the 2007 NFL regular season a thing of the past, it’s time to start looking at the playoffs. While there were many great stories during the regular season, the playoffs will be what is remembered most about this season.
In the AFC, the New England Patriots became the first team to finish the regular season at 16-0. However, this season will lose much of its luster for the Patriots if they fail to bring home a championship. The Patriots and the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts will have bye weeks in the first round of the playoffs in the AFC.
The two matchups in the first week of the playoffs in the AFC are the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans at the San Diego Chargers. While the Steelers and Chargers should be favorites, the Jaguars and Titans are more than capable of pulling an upset.
In the NFC, the Washington Redskins play the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Giants go against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers have bye weeks.
