2011 Playoffs - Preview of Wildcard Weekend

• Chiefs at Titans - The Chiefs (10-6), who beat the Chargers in the Wildcard round but lost the Divisional game against the Patriots back in 2010, are back in 2011's Wildcard Weekend, but this time face off against newcomer Tennessee (11-5). Will the Chiefs fail to make it further than they did last year, or will the Titans be one-and-done?

• Lions at Rams - Detroit (8-8) and St. Louis (10-6), two teams that were both considered laughingstock of the NFL not too long ago, now face off in this 2011 Wildcard newcomers match-up. Who will win the "Loser Bowl"?

 

• Colts at Raiders - Manning & Co. (11-5) pay a visit to resurgent newcomers Oak-town (10-6). Will the run-heavy Raiders, featuring top-10 rusher RB Darren McFadden, be able to overcome an injury-depleted linebacking corps, and having to start rookie QB Cody Garvell in place of injured QB Bruce Gradkowski, and pull off the upset?

•  Vikings at Giants - Minnesota (8-8) making the playoffs during the first season of the post-Favre era with QB Donovan McNabb at the helm, travel to the Meadowlands to take on fellow newcomers New York Giants (9-7), who struck gold during the 2010 draft. Who will come out on top in this one?
