2016 NFL Playoffs: The road to Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California

Cardinals vs Panthers: TV information and schedule

For the NFC, it comes down to the Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals, the top-two seeds respectively. That means we get to see if Carson Palmer still has some Cincinnati Bengal in him and will toss away a playoff game or if he can finally shake those demons and get to the big game he seemed primed for when he was a draft pick. We'll get to see if Cam Newton can take a near perfect season the distance or if he was just hot at the right time and can get thrown off his game by a truly complete team. For all of us, it marks one of the last weeks we will have any professional football on television for quite a long time.

Patriots vs Broncos: TV information, and schedule

For the AFC, it comes down to the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots, the top-two seeds respectively. That means it's time for Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady yet again. The storylines about who is greater. Can Manning get a final ring or will he choke yet again. All the DeflateGate noise that will come win or lose. Regardless of the winner, we will get to hear two straight weeks of "is Brady/Manning the greatest quarterback of all time" before the Super Bowl. Yet, it is one of the final weeks that any football will be on the television, so let's still enjoy it while we have it.

Chiefs vs Patriots: 20-27 Final Recap

Few Ravens fans were cheering for pretty boy Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Saturday. Though the mercurial quarterback did what he needed to do, using his partying tight end to get into the endzone twice through the air and get ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs early on. Riding a defense that got after Chiefs' quarterback Alex Smith, that would be all he needed to see his 10th AFC Championship game in 15 seasons, a feat that will be in record books for some time.

Packers vs Cardinals: Betting lines and over/under
