IF thats the case, I want the Cowboys to win, but seeing how I dislike them so much, I'll just watch.
I like the Lions chances better that way than against the Saints, which is who I thought that were looking at playing.

Is it true that tickets are 2 for 1? I heard the NFL doesnt want the game blacked out so tickets are 2 for 1 as a result.

As a Giants fan, I would love an opening round against Detroit. Megatron and Optimus Prime (whatever their nicknames are for Staffod/Johnson) are huge, but the cold swirling January winds in the Metowlands always causes opponents havoc!
I would LOVE for the Lions to play the Giants, anyone but the Saints or Pack in the first round.
I could be wrong, but I've never heard of a nickname for Stafford.
That deal is only for season ticket holders.
It is pretty sad that Cincinnati can't fill the stadium of a playoff contender though. The city of Cleveland would be turned upside down with excitement if there were a playoff contender in Cleveland.
Latest Playoff Scenarios for the Lions.
1. Lions beat Packers = Lions as #5, Falcons as #6.
2. Packers beat Lions AND Bucs beat Falcons = Lions as #5, Falcons as #6.
3. Packers beat Lions AND Falcons beat Bucs = Falcons as #5, Lions as #6.
If the Lions become #5, they'll face #4 which will either be the Giants or the Cowboys in the Wild-Card Round. If the Lions become #6, they'll face #3 which will either be the Saints or the 49ers in the Wild-Card Round.

A Steelers Win and a Ravens Loss would be HUGE for the Steelers, giving them the Bye and another week for Ben to recover.
They say Ben will play 20 or so snaps today, presumable to see how it feels (?) and keep his timing ....
