The following is a capsule style breakdown of the four games taking place with the Heftyinfo predictions for the games following up.
Saturday, January 22
Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans - The Bengals did what they were supposed to do against the Las Vegas Raiders, but now face the Titans on the road and the Titans will have running back Derrick Henry back in the fold. A big question will be whether the Tennessee secondary can slow down the potent Bengals passing game?
PICK - Titans 30, Bengals 24
San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers - After that exciting finish last week when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys, the 49ers now will face the mighty Packers, led by All Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who just might win a second consecutive NFL Most Valuable Player award. But this is the playoffs and the way the 'Niners defense has been playing, this game could be a real tight one.
PICK - Packers 21, 49ers 17
Sunday, January 23
Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tom Brady and the Buccaneers seem to be hitting their stride yet again as the post-season gets rolling. But the Rams were dominant against Arizona in their wild card game win on Monday night. So this game will likely go down to the wire, barring a ton of turnovers by either team.
PICK - Rams 30, Buccaneers 28
Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs - The Bills went into Kansas City and mopped the floor with the Chiefs back in October (a dominating 38-20 win) but the Chiefs defense has improved big time since that game. The Bills crushed the Patriots (47-17) last weekend while Kansas City did the same against Pittsburgh (42-21 victory) last Sunday evening. Both Bills QB Josh Allen and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes had five touchdown passes last week. The key to this game will be not committing turnovers and it will likely be a shootout. Expect a much closer game this time around.
PICK - Bills 34, Chiefs 31
Last Week's Record - 6-0
NFL PLAYOFFS RECORD - 6-0
Regular Season Record - 168-103-1
