The 2023 NFL Playoffs have already proven to be one of the most interesting in recent memories as Wild Card weekend produced multiple upsets.
The Houston Texans were the home team and the higher seed, but were still considered underdogs against the Cleveland Browns.
In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers were given little to no chance to beat the Dallas Cowboys on the road, but they put together a masterful performance to advance to the Divisional Round.
Now, the Texans and Packers are being considered more serious threats this weekend when they take on the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, respectively.
Baltimore and San Francisco have been on a collision course for Super Bowl LVIII since their regular season matchup, and the two are well-positioned to make that a reality.
However, Michael Irvin believes that it won’t be a walk in the park for either team given how Houston and Green Bay have looked via NFL GameDay.
“My storylines are the Davids versus the Goliaths. The No. 1 seeds I’m putting them on high alert for the upset,” Irvin said.

In the NFL playoffs, just about anything can happen and although the Ravens and 49ers are considered heavy favorites their victories are far from assured.
Stroud and Love have proven that the lights aren’t too bright for them and can make the plays they need to when called upon.
Baltimore and San Francisco boast strong defensive units, but their opponents aren’t going to go down quietly despite their lack of playoff experience.
