Picking the winners in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs

Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t in the playoffs, we are just like every other NFL fan and still invested in who wins. We are down to eight teams and so let’s pick some winners in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

Jaguars vs Cheifs

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

Many look at the Jaguars comeback win last week as a sign they are a team of destiny. But I’m betting Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn’t feel that way. Kansas City seems to be able to put up points in whatever clusters they need and will be too much for the AFC Cinderella Jaguars.

Chiefs 37, Jaguars 24

Giants vs Eagles

If the Jaguars are the Cinderellas of the AFC, the Giants are in the NFC. What the Giants have done this year has to be applauded but the Eagles have beaten them handily twice already this season. The third time won’t be the charm for New York.

Eagles 33, Giants 28

Bengals vs Bills

This one has game-of-the-week potential. These two teams squared off back in September in Buffalo and the Bills pulled off a 21-17 win. This week we expect more points but the same outcome with the Bills pulling off another close win.

Cowboys vs 49ers

Will the magical ride of Niners QB Brock Purdy come to an end against a stout Cowboys defense? In this playoff rematch from last season, Dallas is looking for revenge and they get it and by doing it are the only road team to win this weekend.
