The NFL postseason will formally punch off on Jan. 7 when the Concord Raiders go to Austin to take on the Austin Texans in a wild-card activity. It's type of suitable that the 2010 playoffs will come from Austin this year, because that's also where the postseason will end on Feb. 5 when NRG Ground serves Extremely Dish LI.
A Extremely Dish stadium hosting service a playoff activity is actually fairly unusual. Before this year, the last it occurred came in 1998 when Difficult Stone Ground (then Pro Gamer Stadium) organised the Extremely Dish and a playoff activity for the Las vegas Whales .
The disadvantage here for the Texans is that no groups have ever managed to get to the Extremely Dish when the activity is being performed in their residence stadium. So take a moment to you should disregard the Texans.
Speaking of Austin, if the Facilities Boys get to the Extremely Dish, they won't have to keep the condition of Florida to do it. Facilities reveals up postseason perform on Jan. 15 and if they win that activity, they'd variety the NFC headline activity on Jan. 22.
This postseason is a big one for the condition of Florida. With the Boys and Texans both in the 2010 playoffs, it represents initially since 1993 that two Florida groups are making the 2010 playoffs in the same year.
This seasons 2010 playoffs will have a considerably different look than the postseason had last year. A maximum of six groups that created the 2010 playoffs in 2015 won't be coming back ( Colorado Broncos , Cincinnati Bengals , Phoenix Cardinals , California Washington redskins , New york Vikings , Carolina Panthers ), such as both Extremely Dish members.
The before both Extremely Dish members skipped the 2010 playoffs the year after came in 2003 when the Polk Bay Buccaneers and Raiders both skipped the postseason the year after enjoying in Extremely Dish XXXVII.
With six groups from last year seated at house, that indicates six new groups managed to get this year, so let's welcome the Whales, Raiders, Detroit Tigers , New You are able to Leaders , The atlanta area Falcons and Boys to the postseason.
So when will they play?
Let's get to postseason routine and figure out.
Wild Cards Weekend
Saturday, Jan. 7
AFC: (5) Concord at (4) Austin, 4:30 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC): If you really like excellent qb perform, this probably isn't the playoff activity you want to look at. The 12-4 Raiders will be limping into Austin with either Connor Prepare or He McGloin as their beginner. The Texans won't be much better with either Brock Osweiler or Tom Savage as their beginner. This will be initially this year these two groups have performed in The united states. Back again in 7 days 11, the Raiders defeat the Texans 27-20 in a activity that was performed in Brazil Town. However, the Raiders had Derek Carr in that activity, and they won't have him on End of the week.
NFC: (6) Detroit at (3) Dallas, 8:15 p.m. ET (NBC): The activity could become headache for the Tigers because the Dallas Seahawks have generally been irresistible at house in the 2010 playoffs. Since 2005, the Seahawks have performed a complete of nine playoff activities at house and they've won them all. Then you have the Tigers, who have never won a street playoff activity in the Extremely Dish era (0-10).
Sunday, Jan. 9
AFC: (6) Las vegas at (3) Pittsburgh, 1:05 p.m. ET (CBS): This will be a rematch of a activity the Whales won 30-15 way back in 7 days 6. However, factors are all going to be a little bit different now around. In the first activity, Ben Roethlisberger got harmed and the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh steelers had to perform in Las vegas. This time, the Pittsburgh steelers will be enjoying at house with a good Roethlisberger. The Whales will likely be beginning He Moore , although there's an outside opportunity we could see He Tannehill . The group has been optimistic that Tannehill will come back for the 2010 playoffs, but right now, that seems like a lengthy taken because he has not even came back to exercise yet.
NFC: (5) New You are able to Leaders at (4) Natural Bay, 4:40 p.m. ET (FOX): If there's one group that dislikes the Leaders more than the New Britain Patriots -- who missing two Extremely Containers to them -- it might be the Natural Bay Green bay packers . The last two periods the Leaders had to go to Lambeau Area for a playoff activity (2007 and 2011), they won both periods and finished up successful the Extremely Dish in both decades. Just like those two activities, the Leaders will carry a protection into Natural Bay that could cause suits for the Green bay packers violation.
NFC: NY Giants/Seattle/Green Bay at (2) The atlanta area, 4:35 p.m. ET (FOX): The very new since 2012, the Falcons have came back in the 2010 playoffs, and they're looking like they're going to be a challenging group to defeat. The huge benefits for the Falcons is that all the activities they perform for all of the postseason will be performed in the house, which indicates The atlanta area will get to display off its group rate. This is the fifth time since 1998 that the Falcons have gained a first-round bye. In their four past performances, they went 3-1 in the Divisional Circular.
AFC: Houston/Oakland/Miami at (1) New Britain, 8:15 p.m. ET (CBS): The Patriots will punch off postseason perform on Jan. 14 with a activity against the most severe staying AFC seeds. For Patriots lovers, that's great information because it indicates New Britain will likely just have to defeat a back-up qb -- Tom Savage, He McGloin or He Moore -- to generate a cabin into the AFC headline activity.
Sunday, Jan. 15
AFC: Pittsburgh/Oakland/Houston at (2) Might Town, 1:05 p.m. ET (NBC): Getting a first-round bye has almost been a problem for the Might Town Chiefs . Since the the present playoff structure was applied in 1990, the Chiefs have gained a first-round bye three periods (1995, 1997, 2003), and they went 0-3 mixed in those three playoff performances. On the best part, Andrew Reid is 16-2 all-time in activities performed after a bye week, and the Chiefs will be getting a bye before enjoying their first activity.
NFC: Detroit/NY Giants/Green Bay at (1) Facilities, 4:40 p.m. ET (FOX): The Boys could end up experiencing the Leaders in this activity, which might cause a anxiety in Facilities. The Leaders passed the Boys two of their three failures this year. If the Boys can win this activity, they'd enhance to the NFC Tournament for initially since 1995.
