(6) Cincinnati Bengals vs. (3) Houston Texans
4:30 PM on NBC
Cincinnati back-doored it into the playoffs last week with a loss to the Ravens. The Bengals are a very young team and probably happened into the postseason a year sooner than many thought possible.
Houston is in the playoffs for the first time in the franchise's history. But the Texans plan to start a third-string QB among the many injuries the team has sustained this year. Having home field for a first-ever playoff game should be enough to carry the Texans who beat Cincinnati earlier in the season.
Parker's pick: Texans

(6) Detroit Lions vs. (3) New Orleans Saints
8:00 PM on NBC
Detroit can look unbeatable at times. Matthew Stafford has finally stayed healthy but injuries in the running game have hampered their offensive success as the season has progressed.
New Orleans looks unbeatable, not losing since the end of October. QB Drew Brees set the single-season passing yardage record this season as Darren Sproles added another dimension to an already loaded offense. The Saints defeated the Lions 31-17 on December 4.
