Seattle was a #3 seed. Thus, seeds are irrelevant.

1.In the last 40 years there has at least been a 1 or 2 seed in the superbowl.#2 Pitt and #2 Bears left
2.A team going for their 3rd win in a row on the road in the playoffs is 2-10.Jets and GB
3.A team in the playoffs that has scored 40+ pts is 2-17 ATS.GB
4.An out right underdog winner favored on the road next week is about 22% ATS.GB
This year has been one of substantial parity in the league, with no one dominant team stepping up until the Patriots around mid-season. Even as good as the Pats looked this year, we can see now that they were a flawed favorite, far from the juggernauts that were the Colts and Saints last season (the two teams last season aside from the Vikings who were on another level from the rest of the league). I'd go on to argue that the Bears and the Steelers are not traditional #2 seeds and cannot be lumped in to traditional trends such as the above. The Jets are just as talented if not more so than the Steelers. The defenses are about equal, while the offensive line and running game is a better unit for the Jets and the Steelers have the somewhat substantial edge at QB.
To furthur my point about the Steelers being a "mediocre" #2 seed, let's look at their regular season. 12-4 record, with losses to the Saints, Ravens, Pats, and Jets (4 playoff teams). They had two wins against playoff teams at home against the Falcons in OT and against the Ravens. The Jets had a 11-5 regular season with losses to the Ravens, Packers, Dolphins, Pats, and Bears (4 playoff teams). Just like the Steelers, they have two wins over playoff teams (Pats and Steelers). While the Jets won several "squeakers" over marginal opponents, the Steelers had the same breaks go their way in their wins over the Dolphins and Bills in OT. All in all these teams had very similar seasons.
I won't go as far in depth with the Bears but I will say they are one of the most fraudulent #2 seeds in a while. You'd be hard pressed to find people who think they are a better team than the #6 seed Packers, who may very well be the best team standing in the playoffs.
My point is that seeds mean very little in this years scenario. That being said it would not surprise me if the two home teams win this weekend as nothing in the NFL surprises me anymore. If Green Bay plays up to potential they should win this game but at this point they are being offered at a premium price and will be hard pressed to dominate in the fashion of their prior two games.

Well 40 yrs is a long span I'll give you that but how long has it been since the NFL has become a league of "parody". This is a day and age were we dont see the dominance of the 49er's in the 80's or Cowgirls in the early 90's. Those days are dead and so are the prohibited favorites getting to the SB. Of those 40 years you also have to ask yourself "Was a 6 seed ever favored over a 2 seed?" I doubt there was such a case, just sayin.
Hey idiot it's parity not parody. why don't you nerds go back to class and learn some real shit.

In NFL playoff history only three times has a wild card team won three games on the road to advance to the SB. The '07 Giants-The '05 Steelers and the "85 Pats. The fact that it has happened twice in the last 5 years may augment the parity argument but I still am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the possibilty of 2 teams accomplishing this in the same season.

That's d*mn good odds considering they're the #6 seed and 6 teams have made the playoffs only in the last 10 or so years
Throw that stat out the window

Bears are an awesome #2, who are you kidding? Good coaches, Cutler, Urlacher, Briggs, Peppers, Tillman, Manning, Harris, Forte, Knox, Gould, Hester, and Maynard even. These guys are all legit. If you think they suck, then you just don't like the team, period. Which is fine. However they are also 11-5 ATS this year, how does a gambler not like that? If GB was sooooo great, why did they have to win their last game to get in? Why not just go 16-0, like a great team would have? Why go to Detroit and put up a mere 3 points in Week 14 like they did? Was that Detroit defense that much better then the Bears? C'mon. All I'm seeing is people pretending that the Bears suck, mostly because they are haters really. Like how Sports Illustrated picked them to finish 28th this year. What a fuckin' joke !

MJ, do you have any stats on divisional teams that meet up in the playoffs for the 3rd time of the season. Also, if team A covered both regular season games, what happens in that 3rd game?
