However, those few defeats were quickly forgotten and the teams surged through the play-offs, with Indy beating Baltimore and New York and the Saints overcoming the Vikings after thrashing Arizona.

NFL AFC Championship Playoffs – New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts
New York travel to Indianapolis tonight to face the Colts in the AFC Championship game with the winner earning a place at Super Bowl 2010 in Miami. The Colts were much stronger than New York during the regular season and went 13-0 before resting their key players in their final games.

NFL Divisional Playoffs – New York Jets vs San Diego Chargers
New York travel to the in-form San Diego in the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs. The Jets beat Cincinnati in the Wild Card round and should be confident coming off the back of three straight wins. However, San Diego are the form team of the whole league, having won their last eleven games in a row.
NFL Divisional Playoffs – Dallas Cowboys vs Minnesota Vikings
Dallas travel to Minnesota tonight in arguable the most eagerly anticipated game of the playoffs so far. Both teams won their divisions but Minnesota's record of 12-4 was slightly better than Dallas' 11-5, earning them a first round bye. The Cowboys may be the more confident of the two, however, as they have now won four games in a row, including two shut-outs and back-to-back blow-outs of a strong Philadelphia Eagles team.
NFL Divisional Playoffs – Arizona Cardinals vs New Orleans Saints
Arizona travel to New Orleans tonight in the NFC Divisional playoffs hoping to cash in on the poor recent form of their opponents. The Cardinals went 11-6 in the regular season but were not as impressive as the Saints, who looked on course fr a perfect season at 13-0 before losing their last three games. Some have speculated that the collapse was due to a lack of incentive but Arizona will hope it was merely a sign of a deeper problem in the New Orleans ranks.
NFL Wild Card Play-Offs – Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals
Green Bay travel to Arizona tonight in the Wild Card round of the NFL play-offs hoping to continue the good form they showed during the regular season.

NFL Wild Card Play-Offs – Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots
Baltimore travel to New England today in the Wild Card round of the NFL play-offs hoping to come away with a win and continue to face the San Diego Chargers in the next round.

NFL Wild Card Play-Offs – Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
Dallas host Philadelphia tonight in the first round of the NFC Wild Card round of the play-offs with the winner going on to face either the New Orleans Saints or the Minnesota Vikings in the next round.

NFL Wild Card Play-Offs – New York Jets vs Cincinnati Bengals
New York travel to Cincinnati today in the Wild Card round of the NFL play-offs. The winner goes through to the next round to face either the Indianapolis Colts or the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Divisional Round. Cincinnati were the better team during the regular season, going 10-6 to New York's 9-7, but that counts for nothing in the post-season and New York will surely think they can get a result today.
