The top seed in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks, take on the Carolina Panthers in the second of Saturday's NFL Divisional Playoff games.

The Panthers got past the Arizona Cardinals in last week's game, but they aren't going to be seeing a completely inept quarterback on the other side of the line of scrimmage in this one, as Russell Wilson will be leading the Seahawks' offense. The Panthers will likely also see a lot of Marshawn Lynch as well. Cam Newton and company are definitely going to have their work cut out for them this weekend, that's for sure. I don't think they're going to have enough to get it done, though I'm not sure if it's going to be a huge blowout.

If the Seahawks win this one, they will host either the Dallas Cowboys or the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game next weekend. If the Panthers win, they will make the trip to either Dallas or Green Bay next weekend.

Enjoy the game, folks!
