This weekend is the playoffweekend for the two conferences which make up the National Football League inthe USA. The top four teams from eachleague will play this weekend, to eliminate two of them on each side, and the remainingteams will play next weekend in the conference championships. The winners of those two games, two weeksdown the line, will meet in Super Bowl LIV, which will be played in Miami onFebruary 2nd. Today, the Minnesota Vikings travel to the SanFrancisco Giants in the first game of the weekend. Giants Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hascertainly been seeking wins, since he abandon the second chair at the NewEngland Patriots in search of his own fame and fortune. Even while serving as Tom Brady's errand boyat the Patriots, for so many years, he had the reputation of being a niceguy. Vikings' QB Kirk Cousins is also a nice guy,in search of a win. Both teams have been described as underdogs insearch of a win. While not qualified tomake a judgement on that statement, it is certain that Saturday's game will bea very physical game, with lots of heavy hitting. Both team excel at heavy hitting games. The Vikings are 21-29 in 50 playoff games intheir 59 seasons. They have won as underdogs seven times and lost as favoriteseight times, including at Philadelphia when they were three-point favorites inthe NFC Championship Game two years ago. Saturday will be the Vikings’ 16th game as a road underdog of 6½ pointsor more. Sunday’s 26-20 overtime victory at New Orleans was their fourthvictory in 15 tries. In today's secondgame, The Tennessee Titans travel to the Baltimore Ravens. The Titans went into Foxborough and shockedthe Patriots to advance in the wild-card round, and now they'll face an eventougher test if they want to reach the AFC Championship Game: the BaltimoreRavens, owners of the best record in football and a team that has been ajuggernaut for much of the season. TheRavens are also good at controlling the clock, and are favored for a win.
