The Cowboys are 8-0 on the road, while the Packers are 8-0 at home this season. That’s just one of the many tidbits that make this such an intriguing matchup. If Aaron Rodgers’ injured calf doesn’t act up and he’s able to play the whole game, I’ve got to think the Packers advance.

Neither the Colts nor Broncos have played that great the past month, but my gut says the bye week helped Peyton Manning get over, well, whatever has been bothering him, and Denver moves on to an AFC championship game at New England.
