Hi and hello football fans, welcome to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs aka the best weekend in football^TM. A distinction that is the best kind of cliche, totally apt and one you never get tired of hearing. How could it not be? The best eight franchises are duking it out for a chance to fight for a Conference crown, what is not to love? Well, if you are involved with the Denver Broncos then losing your starting quarterback Bo Nix for the AFC Championship game with a broken ankle is definitely sub-optimal. Things went a little better for the Seattle Seahawks, meanwhile, who will be absolutely delighted with how comprehensively they dominated the San Francisco 49ers (again) over in the NFC.

Tonight’s action takes us to frigid Foxborough for a titanic matchup between the Houston Texans and New England Patriots. Kick-off is at 2pm CST/3pm EST/8pm GMT.

Neither the No 2 seed Patriots or the No 5 seed Texans had much of a challenge last week. You could argue Pittsburgh had a chance against Houston but I would argue that even at 7-6 the scoreline was comfortable considering the immense level DeMeco Ryans’ defense was playing at. The less said about the Chargers meek output against the Patriots the better. The upshot for us is that each team should be fresh for their first real test. Sparks will hopefully fly!

Oh and how about what legendary receiver Randy Moss and his pals think about the game? Because, why not?
