The New York Giants ended their regular season on a high note with a victory over the Washington Redskins in Week 17. They will now be preparing to take on one of the hottest teams in the NFL in the Green Bay Packers during Wild Card weekend.

It is the last game of Wild Card weekend, as the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans will kick things off Saturday afternoon, followed by the Detroit Lions visiting the Seattle Seahawks. Before the Giants and Packers kick off late Sunday afternoon the Miami Dolphins will pay a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It should be an action-packed weekend as we will see who will be traveling where next week. In the Divisional Round, we have the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC and the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons hosting games; they will all be on bye this week, the reward for winning their divisions and being a top-two seed in their respective conferences.

As with every postseason, there are some teams that you are hoping to draw and others you are hoping to avoid for as long as possible. This year is no different. Some teams are facing major question marks at quarterback because of injuries. There are some teams who have struggled in facets of the game all season but have found a way to overcome them through a 17-week season; can they do it for a couple of more weeks to make a push to the Super Bowl?

We will have to wait and see as the postseason unfolds in the next three weeks before consummating in the Super Bowl on February 5th at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Until then, check out our power rankings of the 12 postseason teams.

*This is not necessarily who we believe will win each game; we take into account playoff experience, current team standing in terms of injury and how the teams ended the season.*
