The final four teams are left standing in the NFL. Four great quarterbacks — and three MVP candidates — will provide for an exciting Championship Weekend.
So how does the Top 12 look this week?

The NFL Playoffs: takeaways from the Divisional Round
There was some great football played this weekend. And then there was the performance by Brock Osweiler.
Let’s look at some of the biggest takeaways we learned this past weekend.
Keep reading for more on my thoughts from this weekend’s NFL playoff games.
The Wayniac Nation NFL Power Rankings: The Dak Attack keeps rolling
It is official. For the first time since the 2003 Super Bowl that saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rise victorious over the Oakland Raiders, neither team from the last Super Bowl is returning to the playoffs. That means this January, there will be no dabbing, and Gary Kubiak will be in his rightful place… not on the football field.
Not much has changed in the AFC, but the rise of the Packers has certainly continued to shake up the NFC. The AFC Power Rankings were relatively easy this week with all six teams already locked in for the postseason. The NFC, however, still has some work to be done, with two playoff spots and a division winner still at large.

The Wayniac Nation NFL Power Rankings: A shakeup in the NFC
The New York Giants and Green Bay Packers are grooving. So much so that they may have changed the landscape of the entire NFC playoff race. The AFC only has one big change… but it is seeing the reigning Super Bowl champions fall out of the top six.

The Wayniac Nation NFL Power Rankings: NFC up for grabs
I fought Dunton for the past three weeks. He was whole-heartedly convinced that the Oakland Raiders were the best of the AFC. I continuously pled my case that the New England Patriots are the best team in the NFL, and they have no reason to not be in the top slot.
Last week, we finally moved the Raiders into the top spot. And, on cue, they lost a big matchup, becoming the biggest fallers of the week (don’t worry, it wasn’t that far).

NFL SUNDAYS WITH SBJ: THE RESIDUAL EFFECT
Today we will talk about The Residual Effect, which is a great lesson that can also be applied to any aspect of life where you define yourself by your past thoughts and actions. This is one of the core flawed sports betting philosophies, which created The George Costanza Opposite Theory.
Whatever you think is supposed to happen on paper between two teams, due to the results of previous encounters, or recent slumps or skids, is actually your greatest philosophical nemesis when trying to pick a winner.
HEEEEATH: An end of an era for the Pittsburgh Steelers
He won’t be getting a fancy retirement tour. He won’t be getting much Hall of Fame recognition when his name comes up for consideration. But there is no denying that the best tight end in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers will be sorely missed by both fans and the franchise.
The NFL Playoffs reach a new low with the Pittsburgh Steelers/Cincinnati Bengals fight… I mean game
The NFL Playoffs reached new lows on Saturday when the nation had to endure Brian Hoyer leading my Houston Texans down the proverbial throne and ending a magical season. It was a season that saw the Texans fight back, but their immeasurable success had little if anything to do with Hoyer. He was the goat — not the GOAT — and hopefully took his last snap in Texans gear.
Thankfully, we have Vontaze Burfict, Marvin Lewis and Adam Jones who made the nation forget just how bad Hoyer’s performance was.
Giants, Steelers, Texans and Eagles musings from around the NFL
There was some gems of football games yesterday, wasn’t there? It was too hard to focus on just one of the many interesting things we saw yesterday, so I thought I would give you a couple of quick impressions of some of the bigger stories around the NFL.
NFL Rundown with SBJ: You’re killin’ me, Antonio!
After a couple of rough weeks, SBJ was back in the driver’s seat last week in Prime Time. Pay attention as this week SBJ reviews his main lesson of the season — the importance of trends as we head to the playoffs.
