The AFC Wild Card playoff game will feature the N.Y. Jets vs the Cincinnati Bengals for a rematch of yesterday’s game that was a blowout with the Jets 37-0 win. Hopefully with the game at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati the Bengals will make more of a game out of it.

The second AFC Wild Card game will be at the home of the New England Patriots vs the Baltimore Ravens at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, January 10th. The Patriots will be without receiver Wes Welker after he blew his knee out in the loss Sunday to the Houston Texans.

The NFC Wild Card playoff games will feature the Philadelphia Eagles vs the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboy Stadium on Saturday, January 9th. The Cowboys just came off a great game against the Eagles with a 24-0 rout so it will be interesting to see if the Eagles can bounce back against the Cowboys, who won the division title with that blowout.

The Green Bay Packers vs the Arizona Cardinals game at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday January 10th should be a great one after the Packers 33-7 win against the Cardinals yesterday. Both teams took a different approach to the game, the Packers wanted to win and stay sharp, while the Cardinals rested their starters for next weekends game.

All roads lead to the Super Bowl and you can buy Super Bowl tickets now, or wait to see if your team makes it all the way.

NFL Football tickets are moving at a much slower pace this year with NFL season ticket sales down significantly from last year for some ball clubs, as reported in the Sacramento Bee. Several of the same teams with poor records are on the list again this year including the Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and the Oakland Raiders and face multiple blackout dates for local television viewing.

NFL Football 2009-10

A number of teams came close to a blackout for NFL’s opening day with the surprise being the defending NFC Champion’s the Arizona Cardinals, who barely avoided the blackout. There may be as many as 10-12 NFL teams with problems selling out their stadiums this year compared to only three last year.

Compounding the problem for the NFL is the reselling of tickets. If the team hasn’t sold out, you can bet the ticket brokers have not as well. Ticket brokers may have NFL ticket prices below the face value of the ticket as game day approaches, undercutting the team trying to sell their own tickets.

But the NFL may have only themselves to blame for the rising prices to attend a live game, and encouraging season ticket holders to resell their own tickets, creating a flood of tickets on the market for many of the poorer selling teams.

You don’t have to look very far to find teams without blackout problems. The Dallas Cowboys had no problem selling out their new Cowboy Stadium even with the highest cost for a family of four to attend a game, a whopping $750.

Now, rather than getting the best deal directly from the NFL team, you may just want to check ticket brokers such as PreferredSeat.com for the best deal in NFL tickets.
