Although the Green Bay Packers are out of the playoff race White Jace Sternberger Jersey , fans of the Green and Gold can still find some fun in some excellent matchups across the NFL today as the 2018 season draws near a close. Two games today feature likely playoff-bound teams from opposite conferences squaring off in contests that could help decide seeding on both sides of the postseason bracket.The late afternoon game on CBS should be a fun one with some offensive fireworks as the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Big Easy to play the New Orleans Saints. Pittsburgh needs a win to realistically solidify itself as a playoff team, while the Saints can clinch home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs with a victory.On Sunday Night Football, Kansas City and Seattle square off with critical seeding implications for them as well. A win will keep the Chiefs on pace for home-field in the AFC, while Seattle needs a victory to seal up a Wild Card spot in the NFC. Should Seattle lose, the opportunity may be open for an NFC East team to sneak into the playoffs instead.Tune in for the games throughout the day and follow along here.Early GamesAll games kick off at 1:00 PM EasternAtlanta Falcons at Carolina PanthersBank of America StadiumCharlotte, NCFOXCincinnati Bengals at Cleveland BrownsFirstEnergy StadiumCleveland, OHCBSTampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas CowboysAT&T StadiumArlington, TXFOXMinnesota Vikings at Detroit LionsFord FieldDetroit, MIFOXNew York Giants at Indianapolis ColtsLucas Oil StadiumIndianapolis, INCBSJacksonville Jaguars at Miami DolphinsHard Rock StadiumMiami, FLCBSBuffalo Bills at New England PatriotsGillette StadiumFoxboro http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-hundley-jersey , MACBSGreen Bay Packers at New York JetsMetLife StadiumEast Rutherford, NJFOXHouston Texans at Philadelphia EaglesLincoln Financial FieldPhiladelphia, PACBSAfternoon GamesLos Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals2:05 PM MT (4:05 PM ET)State Farm StadiumGlendale, AZFOXChicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers1:05 PM PT (4:05 PM ET)Levi’s StadiumSanta Clara, CAFOXPittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints3:25 PM CT (4:25 PM ET)Mercedes-Benz SuperdomeNew Orleans, LACBSSunday Night FootballKansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks5:20 PM CT (8:20 PM ET)CenturyLink FieldSeattle, WANBC On the eve of the NFL’s Divisional Playoff weekend, it’s time to break down the four games taking place across the league in the next two days. As has been the case all season, 13 APC writers provided our picks for who will advance to the conference championship games next Sunday. Let’s take a look.Colts vs. ChiefsThe Saturday afternoon game is an interesting one — both teams have effective offenses led by a great quarterback, one great receiver, and a good or great tight end. However Ty Summers Jersey Mens , Indianapolis has an emergent defense, while the Chiefs...well, they just prefer to outscore everyone.The last postseason meeting between these two teams ended in heartbreak for Kansas City, who jumped out to a 38-10 lead but gave it away to lose 45-44. The thing is, the Chiefs’ offense is so dominant that they still finished tops in the NFL in DVOA despite being 26th on defense (their second-ranked special teams helped too, though). We think that’s too much for the Colts to overcome, though the margin here is a bit inflated as many of the 12 writers who picked KC expressed some reservations about their pick.APC pick: Chiefs (12-1)Cowboys vs. RamsThe Rams are basically the Chiefs, with a less-explosive passing offense and a more respectable defense against both the run and pass. Still, they can run up the score on just about anybody. This game being at the Coliseum clinched the picks for most of APC. The Cowboys’ home/road splits are stark this year: Dallas has scored more than 22 points on the road just twice all year, and more than 30 just once (in week 17 against a hapless Giants team). The Rams, meanwhile Youth Ty Summers Jersey , were held under 30 at home twice, by the Eagles in week 15 and the Packers (!!!!) in week eight.APC pick: Rams (11-2)Chargers vs. PatriotsHome-field be damned, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady be damned, Philip Rivers’ teams being 0-7 against the Patriots be damned. We’re picking the Chargers because, in short, they’re a better team than the Pats this year.They had a better record (12-4) than the 11-5 Pats. Rivers’ numbers are better than Brady’s. Melvin Gordon is really, really good (remember when there were questions about him as a receiver coming out of Wisconsin?). And it’s fun to watch big ol’ Antonio Gates rumble down the field with the ball in his hands. APC pick: Chargers (8-5)Eagles vs. SaintsNew Orleans won the first meeting between these two teams this season 48-7. Sure, Nick Foles is on the playoff war path again, but this isn’t last year’s Eagles defense — and they would need it to be to have any real chance of slowing down the Saints once their starters shake off the rust from their two-week layoff.We’re picking New Orleans this week, and we don’t think it will be particularly close.APC pick: Saints (13-0)Divisional Round PicksGameTexJasonPeterKrisBobJon MJordanMatubMikePaulShawnWendiZachAPC PickGameTexJasonPeterKrisBobJon MJordanMatubMikePaulShawnWendiZachAPC Pick
