NFL Playoffs: Where to Watch, TV Schedule; Who Will the Pats Play?

Local favorite New York Giants might be out of the running for the 2013 NFL playoffs. But the New England Patriots are in — who will they face?

If you're a New York Giants fan you're probably not looking forward to the NFL's Wildcard Weekend.

If you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan like me, the season has been over for a couple of weeks (although the win at home during last week's season closer against rival Cleveland was a decent way to end a frustrating, injury-plagued year for Steelers fans).

I'd mention the Jets, but why would I, really? I think their fans suffer enough already, no?
