If the Packers were to survive this, they'll be going on the road again. The NFC Championship is arguably their easiest test. The Buccaneers may have an easier path than most think weather-wise. Tampa Bay plays Detroit in a dome and would either play host to Green Bay or travel to San Francisco -- should the Buccaneers advance.

Everything right now is a bonus for the Lions, which makes them dangerous.Home-field advantage in the postseason has merit, even though the Ravens blew this opportunity to an inferior opponent in 2019 (with Lamar Jackson at quarterback).
