NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round Preview

 The NFL Playoffs are down to eight teams and the action this weekend features two games on Saturday and Sunday, including the number-one seeds from the AFC and NFC in action. 

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Rams take on the Green Bay Packers while the Baltimore Ravens will travel to Buffalo and face the Bills. The Sunday games include the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Cleveland Browns. The final game this weekend will take place Sunday evening in New Orleans with the Saints playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

 

 

Saturday, January 16

Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers - The Packers have been rolling hot heading into the playoffs, winning their final six games this season. That Rams defense though will make it tough for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and company to simply have it their way.

Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills - Two good teams that haven't lost since November go at it in what could be a snowy evening in Buffalo. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Bills QB Josh Allen should make this game an exciting and close one, which will likely come down to the final possession.

 

Sunday, January 17 

Cleveland Browns at Kansas City Chiefs - The Browns have been on a magic carpet ride this season and now they face their toughest foe. The Chiefs, led by QB Patrick Mahomes, will be ready and waiting and should advance to the AFC Championship Game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints - This is the third meeting between these two NFC South division foes and the Saints have rolled in the other two games while their defense intercepted Bucs QB Tom Brady five times during those victories. This should be a great game as Brady and Saints QB Drew Brees finally meet in the post-season.
