Tonight, the guys’ welcome in as their special guest, Brad Hopkins.

Hopkins started all sixteen games for the Oilers for the 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1999 seasons, blocking for fellow Big Ten alumnus Eddie George. In 1999, the Titans made it to Super Bowl XXXIV in which Hopkins started.

Arguably, the divisional round of the NFL playoffs is the best weekend of football during the entire season. The top two seeds from each conference return to the field to play the survivors from Wild Card weekend. Throughout the years we’ve seen many miracle finishes and watched as stars were born.

Since the NFL moved to a 12-team playoff format in 1990, No. 1 seeds in the NFC are 20-4 (.833) in the Divisional Playoffs. In the AFC, the No. 1 seed has compiled a 14-10 (.583) record. Both No. 1 seeds are in action this weekend when the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks host the Carolina Panthers in the NFC and the No. 1-seed New England Patriots face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC

Alan & Bryan will recap Wild Card Weekend and get you ready for the divisional round. Showtime is 7:00 p.m. follow the guys on Twitter @zlotsports & @YatesNFLStand. Please visit the website NFLStandard.com.
