Hello readers! Another weekend of National Football League action is coming upon us yet again. The Wild Card round is over and the winners of that weekend will take on the big dogs. Such big dogs like the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. In this post, I'll talk about my picks for the Divisional round games. Let's get to work!
Divisional Round Picks
LA Rams (10-6) @ Green Bay (13-3) (FOX): TW: Packers; CV: Rams
The Rams beat the Seahawks and the Packers were on a bye last week. It feels like the classic powerful offense vs powerful defense game. The Rams should be feeling pretty good against their upset win against Seattle. Their defense carried them to it as well as Cam Akers. Both seem to be devastating for the Packers as Aaron Rodgers is as vulnerable to pass rush as any quarterback. Green Bay's run defense hasn't been stellar. Ultimately, if Green Bay wants to win and make it closer to a possible Super Bowl berth, they will need to keep Aaron Rodgers protected, make Jared Goff beat you by containing the Rams rush offense. If you're as good as you say you are, prove it. I'll take the Packers.
Baltimore (11-5) @ Buffalo (13-3) (NBC): TW: Ravens; CV: Bills
The Ravens beat the Titans and the Bills beat the Colts last week. Both teams come into this matchup with somewhat of a chip on their shoulder. The Ravens got their first playoff win for Lamar Jackson and Buffalo got their first playoff win since 1995. I've been harping on and on about how Buffalo needs to get some help for Josh Allen as he is currently their leading rusher in the playoffs at this moment. Downside for Baltimore is that Lamar Jackson isn't quite the passer as Josh Allen. I think it'll be a battle but I feel upset win for the Ravens.
Cleveland (11-5) @ Kansas City (14-2) (CBS): TW: Chiefs; CV: Chiefs
The Browns beat the Steelers and the Chiefs were on a bye last week. Who would've thought that the Browns would be here? Cleveland comes into this game with some luck on their side and the underdog card to their advantage. To take on the defending champs would be a tall task to have indeed. Cleveland's offense somewhat matches up well against the Chiefs defense. I just question on how emotional will Cleveland will be and if they can control the ball. They can possibly win if they do that. Sorry Cleveland, but I'm taking the defending champs.
Tampa Bay (11-5) @ New Orleans (12-4) (FOX): TW: Buccaneers; CV: Buccaneers
The Buccaneers beat the Football Team and the Saints beat the Bears last week. Brady-Brees III. What a finish to the weekend as this one should be an entertaining one. At least for a quarter or so. The last time these two met, Tampa got blown out at home. Tampa is going to need to play their best game of football this season and protect Tom Brady as much as possible. New Orleans poses a great defense that has also picked off Tom Brady multiple times in the two games this season. It's the rubber match and I think third time's the charm for the Bucs.
