The NFL standings heading into the playoffs has the Seahawks and the Broncos number one and they will be off for wild card weekend, as teams start their matchups on Saturday and Sunday for the postseason and there will be four games stretched across Saturday and Sunday and will be presented on TV on the NBC, FOX and CBS channels and has the Saints, Chiefs, Colts, Bengals, Chargers, Eagles, Packers and Niners in action.
This season's playoffs has a rematch for the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers in the wild card round, but this time it will be in Lambeau Field after the game was at Candlestick Park last season. The Niners won that game in dominating fashion after a great performance from Colin Kaepernick and the Pack defense couldn't stop the 49ers the entire game and they rode that wave all the way to the Super Bowl.

Now the two teams face off again and this time it will be in much different circumstances, as the matchup will be in Lambeau Field and the weather is expected to be bitterly cold with a chance of snow as well. That weather could play into the hands of the Packers, but either way this game should be a great matchup and it is the final game of the wild card weekend no Sunday, as the matchup will be live at 4:40 pm and will air on FOX.
The first matchup of the weekend has the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium and that game starts up at 4:35 pm and will be on NBC. The second game on the schedule is the NFC wild card game and has the New Orleans Saints taking on the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:10 pm on NBC and that is expected to be a cold game as well and has the number three and six seeds facing off, while the Chiefs and Colts is the five and four matchup.
The San Diego Chargers take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio on Sunday in the early game at 1:05 pm on CBS and that matchup is the three and six seeds as well. The Chargers made it into the playoffs by winning in overtime against the Chiefs to knock the Steelers out of it and now they will travel to play a Bengals team that has now made it into the playoffs for the third straight season. All the matchups on wild card weekend have the potential to be great games, but it's the Niners and Packers game that should be the marquee set, as it has two great QBs in Rodgers and Kaepernick and Lambeau is hallowed ground when it comes to playoff games.
