I rooted for the favorites and the won both games, so I've got to be happy with Sunday's results. Pittsburgh took down Miami with ease, and Green Bay eventually took over the game from the Giants. The last time all 4 home teams won in the Wildcard round was the 2011-2012 playoffs, so 5 years ago. We've also had 3 consecutive seasons of both #1 seeds making it to the Superbowl. Will we have a perfect chalk bracket this year? There's never been one in the 12-playoff-team era (since the 1990 season), or the 10-team era (1978-1989 seasons, including 1982 in which there were 16 teams due to a strike), or the 8-team seeded era (1975-1977 seasons). Before that, there weren't really seeds, since the home teams rotated from year to year
Here's who I'm rooting for Saturday:
Seattle at Atlanta:
I entered a contest and picked New England over Atlanta, so I feel like I should root for Atlanta in this one. I think I'll go against the numbers just barely and stick with Seattle, though.
Houston at New England:
Again, the contest dictates New England, but Houston would sure throw a wrench into everyone's expectations. I have them just over 10% likely to win this game, and about 175:1 odds to win the Superbowl. I'm sure they won't, but I'll root for Houston to upset the apple cart.
