Road teams won only 42.8 percent of the 256 NFL games this season — yet all four road teams (all wild cards) in this weekend’s playoffs are favored over four division champions. Three of the 2008 wild cards won at least 11 games. Only one of the four division winners hosting games this weekend won as many as 11. This year’s wild cards include the NFL’s No. 2 defense (Baltimore’s), the No. 2 rushing attack (Atlanta’s), a two- time MVP (Peyton Manning of Indianapolis) and the NFC’s winningest team since 2000 (Philadelphia).
