We are down to eight. Wild Card Weekend has come and go. This weekend, the Divisional Round, is my favorite weekend in all of sports. I can’t wait! Here are the rankings going into this weekend.
Nice win but I am pretty sure you are the worst team left: Texans
The beat up on the Chargers pretty good so good for them. But I think they are the least likely of all the teams to win the next 3 games. Also, the NFL sure does love to give them the Saturday afternoon slot in the playoffs.
Will probably lose this weekend but the future is bright!: Commanders
What a great win. Jayden Daniels is the real deal and for the first time in a long time the future is bright. Very bright. Beating the Lions isn’t out of the question, but no matter what happens this has been a great year for the Commanders.
Maybe the worst NFC team left but also might win it all: Rams
Despite all the distractions, the Rams took care of the Vikings with ease. They have been basically playing elimination games since week 13 and they got a veteran quarterback and a very intelligent coach.
Won big but something seems off: Eagles
The Eagles took care of the Packers due to creating turnovers and injuring receivers. But the offense looked shaky and AJ Brown is reading books on the sideline. It’s always something with this team.
Winner gets a shot at the Chiefs and MVP: Bills, Ravens
Both these teams have had great seasons and their quarterbacks have had even better seasons. The Ravens won the regular season match up big but this one is in Buffalo and matters a lot more. The winner gets a shot to finally go to the Super Bowl. The loser has yet another disappointing season.
Won a playoff game without playing one: Lions, Chiefs
Pat said it best, getting the bye is like winning a playoff game. These two advanced to the best round of all of sports without playing a game. Now they host match ups they should win at home and if they take care of business they get to host their perspective conference championships with all their fans cheering them on.
Tune in on Thursday for the top 10 things to watch for in the Divisional round.
