NFL GAMEDAY RESOURCES: Road to the Super Bowl | 2013-2014 Wildcard Weekend

The Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop watching NFL games.

There are four games on tap this weekend: Kansas City at Indianapolis and New Orleans at Philadelphia on Saturday and San Diego at Cincinnati and San Francisco at Green Bay on Sunday.

Can home-field advantage can be established this year?

In the NFC, the 49ers and Saints are considered better teams than their home opponents, but both teams travel into tough weather conditions. In the AFC, the Colts were 6-2 at home in the regular season, but they’ve shown signs of being vulnerable.

And then there’s Green Bay. Since 2002, the Packers are 3-4 at Lambeau Field in the playoffs. That mark was 13-0 before ’02.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS	INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS	PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS	CINCINNATI BENGALS
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS	GREEN BAY PACKERS

So how wild will this weekend’s wild-card playoff games be?

 

A high-scoring game is expected Saturday night when the New Orleans Saints visit the Philadelphia Eagles. An Ice Bowl-like game is expected when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Can the Indianapolis Colts repeat their 16-point win from Week 16 over Kansas City on Saturday in Lucas Oil Stadium? Anything can happen in the San Diego-Cincinnati game Sunday.

Which teams will survive the first hurdle in the race toward Super Bowl XLVIII?
