i cant dig up any stats, but don't post season games on average have higher scores, and thus more yardage?

It's something that works both ways. A game like Carolina at Chicago should see below average output as you will have the 2nd and 3rd ranked defenses clashing on a grass field in an outdoor stadium during the late afternoon/early evening in Chicago.
If you look at the Pittsburgh/Indianapolis game I would expect offensive output to increase. The league's best offense at home indoors on turf is a tough beast to stop. Pittsburgh will most likely have to come out and put up big numbers if they stand a chance.
Even the Den/NE will probably see above average offensive output. Both defenses can be suspect and both offenses can roll with the best of 'em.
The Seattle/Washington game features the NFC's best offense vs. a solid defense. And Washington's inconsistent offense gets to face a defense with some secondary concerns that can be torched. This is probably the only game that will turn out close to "average."
So in the end I would say the postseason tends to push games towards extremes. Whether that is a defensive grudge match like Chi/Car or an offensive shootout like Den/NE could turn in to.
