Arguably the best weekend of the NFL season is here. It’s the divisional round. We have some great matchups and I can’t wait to see how it plays out. Some teams are looking to get over the hump, while others are looking to make history. All I can say is that we are in for some great football.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans: I know Kansas City hasn’t played well all year, yeah Patrick Mahomes had his worst year as a pro and Houston’s defence picked off Justin Herbert four times. I don’t care, they’re still the Chiefs. Are you telling me you are betting against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs? I don’t think so. C.J. Stroud hasn’t been great this year either and he’s going to be missing two of his top targets. The Chiefs are looking to be the first team ever to three-peat and nothings getting in Mahomes’ way. Especially not the Texans, sorry Chiefs haters. I got Kansas City taking this . Another year of watching Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship game. Score prediction Kansas City 24: Houston: 16
Detroit Lions vs Washington Commanders: Washington played a thrilling game vs Tampa Bay in the wild card round. Jayden Daniels added to his already stellar rookie resume becoming the fourth rookie quarterback to win a playoff game on the road. Unfortunately for Washington I think the road stops here. Detroit is poised for a super bowl run. From the moment they lost the NFC Championship game you could tell this team was on the brink of something great. The Lions have dealt with injuries on both sides of the ball, but that hasn’t seemed to stop them. I see the Lions making back to the NFC title game in back-to-back seasons. Score prediction Detroit Lions 34: Washington Commanders: 23.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Los Angeles Rams: These teams played in the regular season on Sunday Night Football, and the whole world saw Saquon Barkley single handed beat the Rams. Barkley rushed for 255 yards and two touchdowns in a dominating performance. Do I think he does the same thing again? No. The was pretty close until the fourth quarter but I think the Eagles will be too much for the Rams to handle. From Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown to the dominating defence I think Philly’s firepower will lead back to the NFC Championship game for the second time in three years. Score prediction Philadelphia Eagles: 30 Los Angeles Rams : 14
Buffalo Bills vs Baltimore Ravens: The game we can’t wait to watch. Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson. The two teams who haven’t been able to beat Kansas City in the postseason. Two teams whose quarterbacks could have their legacy defined by this game. All this takes place Sunday at 3:30. So who wins? Baltimore ragdolled the Bills in week 5 and the Bills defence had no answer for Derrick Henry and the Ravens rushing attack. With that being said, that was months ago. Since then the Bills added Amari Cooper and Josh Allen is playing the best football of his life. This game could truly go either way. In my gut I think this is the year the Bills finally put it all together and make a run. Score prediction Buffalo Bills: 34 Baltimore Ravens: 31
