NFL Divisional Round

[The_Catfather]

Who you got?

Saturday
Houston at Kansas City (-8.5)
Washington at Detroit (-9.5)

Sunday
LA Rams at Philadelphia (-6)
Baltimore (-1.5) at Buffalo

David Montgomery is off the injury report and deemed a full-go for Detroit this weekend. Big boost for the Lions. They were arguably the best 1-2 RB punch in the league this year. I'm all-in on the Detroit bandwagon. Two UK guys starting on the D-line (Za'Darius Smith and Josh Paschal), would love to see Dan Campbell win a Super Bowl, and that fanbase has been shit on for so long they deserve something good to happen. I still have a sneaking suspicion that Goff is going to implode at a bad time, but hopefully not.

Baltimore-Buffalo will be a freaking war. Cannot wait for that one. Assuming KC takes care of business, it'll set up an epic AFC title game.

I'm a little salty that Washington is playing Detroit to be honest. Really wanted them to meet in the NFC title game if they could make it that far. Got Wildcats on both teams. 2 on Detroit and 1 with Washington. (Was very disappointed that the Redskins moved on from Jamin Davis). It would be cool to see Detroit make their first Super Bowl, even if most of their fans (that I've met) are poor sports as winners or losers.

Philly has 1 also, so I'll be hoping they win. Don't know about the Rams, and not a big fan of the franchise anyway.

In the AFC I'm hoping the Buffalo Bills make the super bowl. Ray Davis has earned a SB ring as far as I'm concerned. Love that Wildcat.

KC will receive the red carpet treatment, so I'd be surprised if they somehow lost to Houston this week.

If Baltimore gets the calls in their favor this week, they'll cruise since their defense and DHenry are playing pretty good. Pittsburgh offense can make anybody's D look good, though, so who knows.

Chiefs and Ravens for the AFC Championship.
Lions and Eagles for the NFC Championship.

Give me Ravens v. Lions in the SB, two of the best teams all year with Buffalo. Story lines galore in that one if it happens.

I'd be stunned if the Rams win at Philly. I'll be rooting for them, but I think their throttling of Minnesota had more to do Darnold's total collapse and the play-calling than anything the Rams really did defensively. The Eagles have been playing really good recently too.

The Texans' D looked pretty stout taking apart Herbert and the Chargers. KC, at Arrowhead with frigid weather, and Reid/Spags is a different beast though.

Ravens-Bills seems like a coin-flip game to me. There's potential bad weather looming there too but it won't be an advantage for Buffalo. Lamar Jackson bundles up like an eskimo on games when it's below 60 degrees, but he tends to play really well when it's below freezing. It sounds like Zay Flowers is a longshot to play again this week though.

F the Chiefs. Have to go with Houston. Hoping Washington wins...Daniels gonna need to be at his best. Lions loss means Raiders can hire Ben Johnson, sooner rather than later. No interest in the Philly/Rams game. Just wanna be entertained in the Ravens/Bills game...great matchup, big legacy game for Jackson and Allen.

How are the Ravens one of the two best when they had five losses which include two to the Raiders and Browns?

I think the Lions and Bills are the two best in the league and I think the Bills are the only ones who can beat KC. So if the Bills can get past the Ravens, I like them to get to the Super Bowl. If not, Chiefs will beat the Ravens.

I hope the Lions make it to the Super Bowl but I expect the worst and we'll probably get Chiefs vs Eagles again.

Lamar, I get it, he has choked before. He looks like a man on a mission, especially lately. I like the Bills as I mentioned but it seems different this go around with the Henry and Lamer duo. I'm not totally sure about the Lions, I think they can get there, the injuries on the defense are a little concerning.

I think the wrong team is favored in the Raven/Bills game. Bills looked like a monster truck this past week crushing a decent Denver team, hard to see them losing at home. Ravens always find a way to lose a big game. Bills by 7.

Just anecdotally Houston looks like they are playing the best ball of the season, beating KC there would be a massive challenge but if there is a big upset to be had, this is where it might be.

Detroit and Philly should win although Detroit has been dealing with a lot of injuries. Washington is a team very hard to defend with Jalen Daniels who is having an MVP season so the Lions to win but may not cover.
