Divisional round picks
Last week: 3-1
Season record: 174-84-2
Last week was great to watch, but this week all four games can potentially be explosive and awesome. Let's hope for some drama rather than blowouts, but you never know in the NFL. So let's get to it.....
Indianapolis at Kansas City--I keep having this nagging feeling. The Colts are on an enormous roll, and the Chiefs have stumbled in the four quarter of the season. But then I keep thinking about the Chiefs and Pat Mahomes and how explosive that offense is. The weather is not ideal, and Andy Reid may mismanage the clock somehow, but it's hard to pick against the Chiefs at home, weather be damned. Chiefs 34, Colts 31
Dallas at LA Rams--Dallas has an impressive defense and run game. So do the Rams. But when you look at the rosters overall, it's hard to go against the Rams at home, a year after they tasted a bitter defeat in the wild card round against the Falcons here. The Cowboys were 3-5 on the road this year, and they have to deal with perhaps the best defensive player in the league in Aaron Donald. Rams 27, Cowboys 20
LA Chargers at New England--The Chargers have maybe the scariest defense of the remaining games. And while their offense can also be explosive, it's gonna be cold there tomorrow. Belichick has had two weeks to prepare, something that always works in his favor, but the problem is that the way to beat Brady is with a filthy pass rush, something the Chargers possess. Man, this is a tough one, and I keep waffling, but I'm going Chargers here. Chargers 23, Patriots 20
Philadelphia at New Orleans--So for this one, I've been saying for weeks now that if the Eagles get in, they are quite possibly going to the Super Bowl again. But the Saints are a different animal than the Bears, probably a more complete team than the one that won it all nine years ago. Nick Foles and his magic would not surprise me, but the Saints losing this game would probably surprise me more. Saints 38, Eagles 27
