Background

Often called the best weekend of football, the NFL’s Divisional Round is a competition between the eight teams that have progressed the furthest in the playoffs. There’s no shortage of star power and talent teams in each of the four games, starting with the AFC’s #1 seeded Titans hosting the young, upstart Cincinnati Bengals. The Titans will have all-world RB Derrick Henry for this contest, back for his first action since October. Cincy is likely thrilled that they’ll have to battle the elements and King Henry, who is surely a pleasure to try and bring down.

The late game on Saturday features the NFC’s top seed, the Green Bay Packers, as they welcome the San Francisco 49ers, the only lower seed to win a game. The Niners defeated Dallas, the three seed, last week. Green Bay is winless in its last three tries against San Fran while Aaron Rodgers, the likely league MVP, has been playing QB for them. Can they finally get over the hump and back into the NFC Championship game?

The Sunday games feature the participants from last year’s Super Bowl. The defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams beat the Bucs in their last meeting, a 34-24 matchup in Week 3. However, Tampa has home-field advantage this time around and has only lost once all year at Raymond James Stadium.

The last playoff game could be the best of the bunch, as the Kansas City Chiefs welcome the Buffalo Bills in a rematch of last year’s AFC title game. Can the Chiefs reach three straight AFC Championship games with a chance to make their third-straight Super Bowl? Or will Josh Allen and them boys have Bills Mafia jumping through tables in the championship round? Regardless of the result, we all win with either team moving on.
