We’re simply wild about Wild Card Weekend.
It’s one of the two best pro football weekends of the year – the other being next weekend’s Divisional Round. There’s four games and you can give a compelling reason for each team to win.
From the New England Patriots standpoint, it’s a question of who do they really want to win? Or, better yet, who among Baltimore, Houston or Indianapolis do they not want to face?
The guess here is that the Patriots wouldn’t expect Houston to play as badly as they did in the Texans’ 42-14 Monday Night no-show nearly a month ago. Baltimore would always be a tough opponent, but the Ravens aren’t as good as the team that edged New England 31-30 back in the season’s third week. Indy may be the team they feel they can handle the easiest, not just because they blew them out 59-24 two months ago, but because the Colts and Andrew Luck turn the ball over on a regular basis.
“We don’t know who our opponent is,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.![]()
