If Philly and SD both win...

NE was in a MUST WIN. Arizona was already in. If you think that game had equal meaning for both teams, I don't know what to tell you. What is riding on a game is more important, IMO, than where the game is played. Going back to SD/Indy, you can't say that home field is what cost the Colts when the healthy Chargers won at Indy last year. Also, that NE/Arizona game was played under extreme conditions. You won't always have that advantage just because you are playing at home. As I said, so far road teams have a 66.7 winning percentage in these playoffs. The better teams have won each game and I can't see where the stadiums have mattered yet.
