NFL Divisional Playoff Weekend - Cheat Sheet - Some Basic Stats for All the Games
We got some good feedback when we presented this for the Wildcard Weekend, so we are running it back updated for the Divisional Matchups.
Remember...
There's a lot more that goes into handicapping a game than just stats, such as those that follow.
However, we often see people looking for this type of information, so we thought we would put some out there.
