NFL playoff schedule 2011

Monday, January 03, 2011

The NFL playoffs are finally arived. In fact, you should probably just install a popcorn machine next to your couch this weekend because you won’t be moving from it. The NFL playoffs kick off this weekend (Jan. 8-9) and with New England, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Chicago all earning first-round byes, there are eight teams that will duke it out during Wildcard Weekend.


Should the Jets, the six seed, beat the Colts on Saturday night, the Patriots will be facing New York, as they will automatically be the lowest remaining seed in the AFC.  However, should the Colts win their home match, the Patriots would then play the winner of the Ravens-Chiefs game, which is slated for 1:00 PM on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium
