Pittsburgh Steelers<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Steelers earned a week off which will help get Troy Polamalu get healthy.\u00a0 He is crucial to their championship hopes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. New Orleans Saints<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Saints have eleven wins and are on their way to seven-win Seattle for round one.\u00a0 They should also be on their way to round two fairly easily.\u00a0 Nobody wants the defending champs visiting them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Atlanta Falcons<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Falcons have home-field and are looking at a rematch with the Saints if the odds makers are correct.\u00a0 They need to spend the week off figuring out how the Saints stopped their ground game in the team\u2019s last meeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Chicago Bears<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Bears played hard in a game that meant nothing to them on Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0 Their chances will all come down to how their offensive line plays.\u00a0 Cutler has been sacked more than any other quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.

The can win it all or lose in the first round.\u00a0 Neither outcome would be all that surprising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. New York Jets<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Jets can deny it, but Kansas City would have been a better matchup.\u00a0 The ground game needs to be in top form for the Jets to move on.\u00a0 Lately the Colts have found a way to stuff some of the leagues better running teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Indianapolis Colts<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Colts don\u2019t have to carry the huge expectations they\u2019ve had in years past entering the playoffs.\u00a0 The run defense has been solid in recent weeks.\u00a0 If they can play run defense in the playoffs, they have a puncher\u2019s chance with Manning playing quarterback.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Green Bay Packers<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Packers were a fashionable pick for the title during the preseason.\u00a0 They will need three road wins just to get there after a disappointing season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
