Here's Durkin's take on how the Wild Card Weekend will play out.
We're still a month away from the Big Game, but it's already a mistake – for more than one reason.
The Green Bay Packers say they're down to less than 1,000 tickets yet to be sold for Sunday's home playoff game.
The Green Bay Packers have had trouble stopping the 49ers in their last two meetings. Now they have to try and beat them in the playoffs while facing injury issues on defense.
The fact that both teams could be without a key defensive player this Sunday when the 49ers and Packers play is not good. While Green Bay already knows their fate, San Francisco is hoping and waiting that they will not be without Carlos Rogers.
While his beloved Bears were knocked out of the playoffs by the Packers, the country star still dreams of the Chicago team winning the Super Bowl.
The Green Bay Packers say the team is optimistic that Sunday's home playoff game will be sold out and a TV blackout can be averted.
Seattle has already faced, and beaten, both the Saints and 49ers this season but not the Packers. Does the unknown help or hurt a team in the Playoffs?
Last year, the 49ers made an improbable run to the Super Bowl, before falling one play short of reaching the ultimate team goal. They lost to the Baltimore Ravens, a more experienced team that rode momentum all the way to a Championship. This year it's San Francisco who fits this description and unlike last year, the Niners have everything in place to get past the rest of the NFC.

Two of the NFL's most decorated franchises will meet this Sunday when the Packers and 49ers meet in a NFC Wild Card matchup. The winner will move on in the playoffs, while the loser will face a disappointing end to a season that started with much higher aspirations.
Time offers the opportunity for perspective, so I thought it would be a good idea to wait each week to give my thoughts on the Bears game.
For those looking for a bright spot following the Bears' crushing loss to the Packers on Sunday, look no further than the team's draft position.
Jay Cutler could cure cancer and would still not win people over because of his lack of warmth and fuzziness.
Aaron Rodgers missed about half the season. Now, he can make up for lost time.
Bears coach Marc Trestman said the team's season-ending loss to the Packers was "very disappointing," and called Green Bay's first-half fumble return for a touchdown while on offense "a debacle," as the entire defense stood around and watched their rivals make an easy score.
Fourth-and-8. 46 seconds left. Aaron Rodgers against the worst Bears defense in recent memory.
Brandon Marshall likes to make predictions regarding his quarterback, so it wasn't all that surprising that the Bears wide receiver made another one Sunday after his team's season ended.
With the conclusion of the regular season, the Bears' opponents for the 2014 season have been determined.
Aaron Rodgers fired a 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the final minute, and the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 33-28 to capture the NFC North championship.
Green Bay Packers WR Jarrett Boykin picked up a loose ball and ran it for a touchdown after Julius Peppers knocked the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands.
