The Last Word - Sports Blog (Sean Simara)

After a long and gruelling season we're down to the final 8 in the NFL. This weekend it's the Divisional Games, so after the bumps and bruises, touchdowns and interception through the year I look at who will be the winners and losers this weekend. Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons First up will be Matt Ryan's Atlanta Falcons against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan has had an MVP like season at the Falcons, they ended on 11-5. He rattled in 38 TDs, 7 interceptions and threw for just under 5000 yards. This saw Atlanta win the NFC South. Seattle Seahawks saw off the Detroit Lions with ease in their wildcard game.

Manchester United 3. Manchester City 4. Arsenal 5. Liverpool 6. Tottenham To go down I will go with Hull City, Watford and Swansea City. T...
