I enjoyed the weekend and mostly avoided the weather.

I did spend some time wondering why NFL wildcard games can’t have more evenly matched teams. But I’m sure there’s a reason. I don’t usually pay much attention to football. But my F-i-L likes it.

I don’t remember if I told you that when I took a short road trip over the new-year’s weekend it took me through Scranton, PA. The Central Scranton Expressway (CSE) has been renamed to the Joe Biden Expressway.

It’s really hard to drive and fight the urge to throw up.

Glad that you did enjoy the weekend!

They actual make the games 'mismatched' on purpose as a way to reward the teams that did the best during the regular season, by the seeding process.

This year, the team with the best regular season record in each conference earned a 'bye' for last weekend and stayed home to rest. The other 6 playoff teams in each conference got matched up in pairs (2-7, 3-6, 4-5) to give a bit of an advantage to the higher seeded teams (which also got to play the game at their home stadium).
