Felger thinks GB and DEN can get knocked off in divisional round at home.

Bedard agrees, thinks their weak secondaries will be their downfall.
Detroit still has a chance to win that division, they would need to beat the pack in GB but it is still possible, granted the loser of that division might prefer getting to play the NFC south winner. As for Denver the only team I think that could go to Denver and blow the out in the first round is the Steelers. I don't even think Pitt is that good, but I don't think any other team they might face is even capable of it.

I just watched the NFL replay of the Denver/Buffalo game and was surprised to see that Denver wasn't impressive at all. Manning's throws make latter-day Chad Pennington appear to have a rocket arm. As long as the WR wasn't completely wide open, every throw more than 10 yards down field was almost equally catchable by either party. In fact, two fouls during long interception returns basically decided the game. In both cases, the ball was returned into FG position only to be pushed back to the other side of the 50 with no points. Orton also missed on tons of opportunities.

It sounds odd, but Denver might have actually played worse than Buffalo despite running out to a 24-3 lead. If not worse, then just barely better. If that's the type of game Denver plays at home in the playoffs, the only team that couldn't beat them is KC, who are terrible right now and have been for several weeks.
