For our 2013 opponents I was thinking more along the lines of the Packers, then the 49ers, then either the Falcons, Skins or Seahawks & then the AFC Champions.

Well played. Althought since Atlanta has the #1 seed, it will be Green Bay, then Atlanta, then wither the 49es, Skins or Seahawks, and the the AFC Champions.

No. No it is not. We don't follow standard brackets in the NFL. In the Wild card round, the #3 seed hosts the #6 seed and the #4 seed hosts the #5 seed. In the Divisional round, the #2 seed hosts the highest remaining seed and the #1 seed hosts the lowest remaining seed.

On that link that you provided, it even says this:

The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded wild card survivor.

If the Vikings win... strike that... WHEN the Vikings win, we will play the Falcons in the divisional round. The game will be Sunday Jan 13th at noon.

Whoops! My apologies and I stand corrected. Learn something new everyday. Okay then -- onward to Atlanta (NYE hangover, pre-coffee edit) after Green Bay this week!
