The key to success in the NFL, particularly in the playoffs, is getting hot at the right time. It’s a fair assumption to say that the hottest teams are the ones who had to either sneak their way into the tournament with help or win out their last few games. Momentum is a powerful force, there’s no denying that. So which wild card team is this year’s 2010 Packers or 2007 Giants? Maybe not necessarily a team that could go all the way like those wild card teams did, but which team should the division winners be most afraid of?
