Miami 11-5 at Kansas City 12-4
A game of contrasting styles. Kansas City is built around their offense. They averaged over 26 points a game this season. They can run, they can pass, they can hit you deep, and they can play ball control. Simply put they have the best offense in the NFL. Miami on the other hand has the best defense and the best running game in the NFL. They love to play ball control, and love to let their defense dictate the game. Miami likes to use their passing game for big hits. These two teams will make an odd match up. If the Dolphins can contain the mighty Chiefs offense they will win it. If they can't the Chiefs will more than likely blow them out.
Dallas 9-7 at Detroit 11-5
I'm pretty sure no one would have picked either of these teams to be here at the beginning of the season. Dallas had just brought in a new coach to try and get them over the hump that Tom Landry couldn't, but no one thought in his first year Ted Marchibroda would get them this far. He's done it by keeping their offense explosive and improving their defensive play. So far this combination has worked wonders for them in the playoffs. Detroit was thought by most to be too old. Sure Greg Landry is a great quarterback, but the defense struggled a bit in 1980 as did Dexter Bussey. There was a time mid season when Greg Landry was struggling, as was Dexter Bussey and the Lions seemed to be done. But they have put it together and seem set to take their second NFC crown in five years.
