Serving up some postseason nuggets

Trying to pick some divisional-round winners?
Wanna know if your favorite team has a chance to advance?
Looking ahead to Feb. 3 and putting a little somethin' something down on a Super Bowl champ?
Before going out on any limbs, first digest these nuggets, all gleaned from the 2002-11 postseasons (or since the NFL adopted its current 32-team, eight-division format):

• No. 1 and No .2 seeds (i.e. the home teams coming off a bye) are a combined 25-15 in the divisional round, but are only 15-13 since 2005.
• Speaking of the 2005-and-later era, No. 1 seeds have combined to win only Super Bowl during that span while bowing out in the divisional round a full eight times.
• 2004 has the last season all four No. 1 and No. 2 seeds made it to the conference championship games.
• 2009 has been the only season when both conference No. 1 seeds squared off in the Super Bowl.
• As many No. 6 seeds (the '05 Steelers and '10 Packers) have carted off the Lombardi Trophy as No. 1 seeds (the '03 Patriots and '09 Saints).
• Overall, No. 6 seeds have gone a combined 18-18 in the playoffs -- better than all but No. 1s (23-18) and No. 2s (20-17). The others -- No. 3s (18-19), No. 4s (18-19) and No. 5s (13-19).
• As the playoffs go on, homefield advantage becomes much more of a factor as home teams are 21-19 (.525) in the wild-card round, 25-15 (.625) in the divisional round and 13-7 (.650) in conference championship contests.
• Home teams (i.e. the higher seeds) have swept all five games twice in both the AFC (2002 and 2011) and NFC (2006 and 2009) but it's never happened in both conferences during the same season. (And, of course, it didn't happen again this year with the Seahawks winning the wild-card matchup against the host Redskins on Jan. 6).
