Throw them out. Throw them all out, the regular-season games between the Packers and Bears (two), and the Jets and Steelers (one).
For when those rematches are played next Sunday for the right to go to the Super Bowl, the regular-season meetings mean nothing. The 49-point turnaround in the Jets-Patriots matchup this weekend (Pats, 45-3 in Foxborough on Dec. 6; Jets, 28-21 Sunday in the same venue) tells us all we need to know. And if you read anything in the coming days, like the note that Devin Hester's 62-yard punt return overcame a Green Bay edge from scrimmage in the first Green Bay-Chicago meeting, ignore it.
None of it matters.
Nor does home-field "advantage'' -- the Steelers have been in seven AFC title games in the past 17 seasons, six at home and one on the road. The home team is 2-5.
