The Ravens defeating the Colts and the Seahawks defeating the Redskins had some pretty exciting moments last week, aside from that the Wild Card games were pretty blah. This weekend however marks the beginning of the Divisional round and we have some goodies in store. Read more after the jump.
The first game up is the Baltimore Ravens against the Denver Broncos. In their last meeting the Broncos defeated the Ravens 34-17 and many have close to the same result for this time around. Peyton Manning is back to his old self as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game and leading the Broncos into the playoffs with an 11 game win streak. Gonna be a tough one for the Ravens.

Following that game the Green Bay Packers will take on the San Francisco 49ers. In their last meeting the 49ers defeated the Packers 30-22 but things are different this time around. The 49ers are now being led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick replacing Alex Smith who was having the best season of his career. This is also Kaepernick’s first playoff game. The Packers are also healthy this time around and have found their run game. 49ers faltering defense will have to step up today.
