Joe Manniello's Divisional Round playoff picks

Underdogs' success carried over into the playoffs as they went 3-0-1 against the spread last week. Three of them won outright. History shows that home teams dominate the divisional round, winning 71 percent of the time. But none of these four top seeds are unbeatable. The belief here is that every game will be close, leading to all four underdogs covering and three _ yes, three _ winning outright.

Get ready for a divisional round that will be even wilder than wild-card weekend.
