Now that I think of it, today's playoff games are a little odd. Two teams with seemingly everlasting "This is REALLY the year" hype have both broken through to the playoffs. And both play today.

Cincinnati spent their first two offensive picks on receiver AJ Green and quarterback Andy Dalton. Now, they're looking to win their first playoff game since 1990. Houston's never been in the playoffs, yet they shored up their defense over the short offseason and behind the strong running of Arian Foster, excellence of receiver Andre Johnson and with TJ Yates successfully treading water, get to host a playoff game.

So since the Bears aren't here, pick a side (or just watch the game), and remember to Open Thread Responsibly (TM).
