We’re drawing ever closer to the Super Bowl. It’s the NFL Divisional Playoff round and in a lot of ways this bodes to be even more exciting than the Conference Championships.
That’s largely because of one reason: Ravens vs. Bills. The game of the weekend is also the game of the season, and it feels like whoever wins in Buffalo will eventually move on to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are essentially tied for the MVP, with there being clear cases for either of them — while we have two stout defenses who need to pull out all the stops to slow down the opposing superstar.
Meanwhile, in the NFC the game to watch is going to be Eagles vs. Rams. Saquon Barkley has been a phenom this season, while Jalen Hurts has taken a step back. Really this game comes down to whether or not Philly’s astounding defense is good enough to devise a play to stop the Rams myriad weapons.
Here are our picks for the NFL Divisional Playoffs.
