There are only eight remaining teams in the with LVIII just 25 days away. Of the eight remaining teams, it's hard to argue that any of them aren't among the league's upper echelon.Five of the six remaining teams who played last weekend defeated a lower-ranked team at home. The lone exception was the , who shocked the No. 2-seeded after putting 48 Blank Jersey points on the board. By virtue of their performance in that game, the Packers should be considered as one of the league's top teams and a legitimate threat moving forward.The Packers have a daunting test in front of them, though. Up next for Green Bay is a team that is oozing with talent and coming off a bye week. It was a similar scene in 1995, when a young quarterback named Brett Favre dethroned Steve Young and the rest of the defending champion 49ers in San Francisco in the divisional round.Both the 49ers and Packers are included in our rankings of the eight remaining playoff teams. We'll see how accurate our list is when the divisional round wraps up next Sunday night in Buffalo. I'm not taking anything away from Houston and the awesome season they've had. But someone has to be last on this list, and that distinction unfortunately goes to a Texans team that has the most question marks of any of the remaining teams.The Texans have a rookie phenom in, but they don't have a proven running game that can back him up. Houston has a young and talented defense that has been stellar against the run. But its pa s defense (much like Detroit) can be a liability.No one should be surprised, however, if' team manages to surprise anyone this weekend by pulling off a major upset. The Texans are a confident team that doesn't look at themselves as underdogs. That mindset alone gives Houston a puncher's chance against Lamar Jackson and the top-seeded Ravens. If they do pull off the unthinkable, it'll likely be because of Stroud and a defense that had two pick-sixes during last weekend's blowout win over Cleveland.I can hear the boos from Detroit, but before Lions fans bury me, let me just say that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Detroit wound up in the . The Lions are that good and have been that good all year, starting with their season-opening win over the Chiefs.Detroit's pa s defense, however, is a red flag, and a big one. The unit, despite the inspired play of rookie safety , has struggled all year, especially against elite receivers. That's bad news this weekend considering the wideouts the Buccaneers have. The Lions have the offense, though, to go all the way. More specifically, they have the quarterback to get them to the place they've never been. resurgence in Detroit is something we really haven't seen in Andrew Cashner Jersey the since 1980, when fellow former No. 1 overall pick Jim Plunkett overcame a disappointing start to his career to lead the to a win.Could Goff do something similar over the next month? He could, but he'll have to beat the Buccaneers first.It was a hard call between Tampa and Detroit, but the Buccaneers' defense ultimately gave them the nod over the team they'll face this weekend. Defense usually wins games in the playoffs, and Tampa has a decided edge here. Todd Bowels' unit was seventh in thein points allowed during the regular season and allowed just nine points during Monday night's win over the. The unit is led by All-Pro safety, who had three interceptions, six sacks, four forced fumbles and 122 tackles during the regular season. Tampa's offense is more talented that the stats would suggest, especially when you consider what it has at receiver. The Buccaneers still have one of the league's top WR duos inand, who are both still playing at a high level. The quarterback throwing to them,, is playing the best ball of his career.You could argue the Packers deserve an ever higher spot after being the only road team to win a playoff game during Super Wild Card Weekend. But given where they were at the start of the playoffs (a 9-8 team that made the postseason as a No. 7 seed), I think No. 5 is a Pedro Alvarez Jersey fair spot.Green Bay's shocking upset win over the Cowboys was anything but a fluke. The Packers manhandled Dallas on both sides of the ball, especially on offense.throughly outplayedand was extremely close to becoming only the third quarterback to post a perfect pa ser rating in a playoff game. Love had succe s by spreading the ball around and finding the soft spots in the Cowboys' defense. He was complemented by, who submitted his third straight 100-yard rushing performance.Green Bay's defense was just as good, with four sacks and two picks of Prescott. It also shut down the Cowboys' running game, which will have to happen again in San Francisco if the Packers are going to keep their season going.

That New England team underwhelmed for most of the year before turning it on in the playoffs. The Patriots received a big postseason that year from then-rookie first-round running back. This past Saturday night, the Chiefs' offense got a big performance from rookie first-round wide receiver, who recorded a career-high 130 yards that included the game's first touchdown.If you Colby Rasmus Jersey recall, the Patriots held theto just three points in that year's. The Chiefs' defense could pull off a similar feat this postseason. Led by, the unit finished second in the league in points allowed during the regular season.New England's defining moment that year came in Kansas City in the AFC title game. If the Chiefs are able to repeat as champions this season, it's safe to say their defining moment will come Sunday in Buffalo in what will be' first road playoff game. If Buffalo doesn't go all the way, injuries will be a big reason why. Sean McDermott cla sified nine players as day-to-day one day after his team's Super Wild Card Weekend win over Pittsburgh.Injuries aside, the Bills are still a dangerous squad. Buffalo jumped out to a 21-0 lead over theen route to a 31-17 win.played like the star that he is with three touchdowns pa sing and a 52-yard scoring jaunt. The defense forced two critical Steelers turnovers that the offense turned into 14 points.Along with Buffalo's stingy defense, a reason why this could be Buffalo's year is its resurgent running game, led by. Cook's running has further opened things up for Allen while giving Buffalo's offense the balance it had been lacking in previous years. Baltimore enters the playoffs with a healthy Jackson and the regular season's top-ranked scoring defense. Jackson will probably win his second league MVP of his career after throwing more than three times as many touchdown pa ses as interceptions and also leading the Ravens in rushing. It's safe to say Jackson enjoys playing in first year OC Todd Monken's offense.As great as Jackson is, he won't get his just due until he wins a. That may happen this season as long as Jackson stays healthy. If Baltimore is able to win it all, it'll likely be because of Jackson and a defense that tallied 60 sacks and 18 interceptions during the regular season.It's hard to argue against the 49ers, whose roster boasts a league-best nine Pro Bowlers. San Francisco finished third in thein both points scored and points allowed during the regular season. Kyle Shanahan's offense has been extremely balanced this season, which is one of the things that makes playing them so difficult. The offense is centered around the talents of MVP candidate, who makes plays in both the running and pa sing games. If there is a question here, it is whether or notcan lead the 49ers to victory in the playoffs if McCaffrey and the running game are held in check.Defensively, the 49ers are as good as it gets. They have a ferocious pa s rush that only got stronger with the arrival ofat the trade deadline. The unit is anchored by, who filled the stat sheet this season with 132 tackles, four Richard Bleier Jersey interceptions, four forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks.
