Former Spartans Who Are Playing in the NFL Playoffs This Weekend
The divisional games in the NFL playoffs offer a welcome distraction and reason for me to sit on my couch!
Here is a fun question for you to ask whoever you watch the playoff games with this weekend: What Michigan university had the last Super Bowl Champion... U of M, MSU or CMU?
I'll answer that a bit later.
Saturday the Rams and two former Spartans line up against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers at Green Bay. The first game of the weekend kicks off at 4:35 on Fox.
In the late game Saturday, a game that doesn't feature any Spartans players...Baltimore at Buffalo 8:15. Baltimore is coached by Wolverines Coach Jim Harbaugh's brother John. So, Spartan fans can root against him :)
Sunday, two former Spartans line up on opposite teams as the Browns travel to Kansas City to play the defending Super Bowl Champions at 3:05 on CBS.
Then the Old Guy Bowl, both QBs are in their 40s...Tampa Bay at New Orleans. The Saints won both regular season games. A Spartan will be on both defenses.
The college football season is over, but there are still some Spartans left in the playoffs to root for.
