    Andrew Priestley: What a start to the playoffs we were treated to last night, and tonight’s two matchups arguably look even better on paper.

    Tonight? Wins for the Saints and the Seahawks. The Saints offense will have too much for a sluggish Vikings defence. The late game will be a nip-and-tuck game that could go either way, but Wilson’s experience and the Seahawks ground game will be too much for the Eagles

    If this game was in Minnesota I would still pick the New Orleans Saints. I think the Saints are a better football team and I don't see a way in which the Minnesota Vikings go into New Orleans and win this game.

    Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will be under scrutiny tonight - at times he looks a proper elite QB, but he doesn't beat many 'big' sides.

    He has a 1-4 record this season against teams who have ended up in the playoffs. He has never won a postseason match...

    The Saints started the season with star quarterback Drew Brees out injured but it didn't slow them down - only Baltimore could beat their tally of 13 wins as they won the NFC South.

    Brees only started 11 games but still threw 27 touchdowns. He remains one of th every best.

    The Vikings gave the Packers a run for their money in the NFC North but in the end a 10-6 record was good enough for a wildcard spot. They're a good team - but not many people win in New Orleans...

    Will the Solitanos be partying this evening?

    A simple question tonight - who's going on and whose season comes to an end this evening?

    And why?

    It won't be a New England win this year...

    The New England Patriots are goners, so there will be no defence for Tom Brady this year.

    There may be no Tom Brady at all next year.

    Who can take a step towards Miami tonight?
