East is definitely ****, but I don't think they're a bad team. This isn't like Carolina last year, backing in at under .500. They're favored over Green Bay, probably rightfully - they're one of the best six teams in the NFC, they belong.
Who did I warn off the Redskins at the start of the season? Not too late to hop on the bandwagon.

Tight game to call. Redskins played five teams with a .500 or better record and only beat the Bills, which doesn't promise much for the playoffs. Packers have four wins over .500+ teams, although they've been wildly inconsistent since their off week. Skins only lost two (relatively low scoring) home ties, but it was those road wins in the stretch that got them in.
That Packers loss in Glendale will interest the Redskins. Packers haven't been able to protect Rodgers very well at all this year, and the O-line was abject against Arizona. Any other QB than Rodgers would have been sacked way more times this year. And if Bakhtiari is out, I don't fancy Sitton much on the outside against Smith and Kerrigan.
Skins have momentum on their side, but I'd say it comes down to Rodgers. He can make a nonsense of any team when the Packers are clicking, even without the vertical threat of Nelson. Skins will have to keep a tight man coverage on Cobb and The Other Rodgers.
Packers haven't won a road playoff game since the 2010 season. They did win it all that year though.
