It’s time for my favorite weekend of all of sports! The Divisional round! Here are the top 10 things to watch for this weekend.
10. What book AJ Brown is reading this week.
Authors across the country are hoping it is their book after “Inner Excellence” sales sky rocketed on Amazon.
9. How many 4th downs will Dan Campbell go for?
It seems like there are some drinking games and gambling bets that are meant to happen around this. My guess is 3.
8. Which quarterback will choke in the divisional round?
Both Josh Allen and Lamar have struggled to make it the AFC championship with each of them only making it 1 time. Good news for them, at least one of them will make a second trip.
7. The amount of times the 2020 playoff game between the Texans and Chiefs is mentioned.
This was one of the craziest games ever when the Chiefs went down 24-0 with 10 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter and were up 28-24 before halftime. Chiefs fans love this story. Texans fans, not so much.
6. Will Jayden Daniels win again?
This young man has been clutch all year…if he can pull of this win it would be epic.
5. Snow games!
I love Snow Games. The Chiefs game will be cold but probably snow. The Bills game will be real cold and probably a little snow. The Eagles game it is supposed to start snowing around kickoff and go through the whole game. Meanwhile, in Detroit it will be 70 degrees according to the thermostat.
4. How will the Rams handle the cold
The Rams played great Monday night but they will have to be better this time around playing a snow game against the Eagles. Sean McVay is one smart coach but will he be able to coach around the elements?
3. Who will Nick Siranni get in a fight with and/or yell at?
It could be an opposing player or fan. Or his own fans. Or maybe AJ Brown if he is reading a book that Siranni didn’t recommend.
2. Chiefs football is back!
We haven’t seen real Chiefs football since Christmas Day. Which is fitting because divisional weekend is like Christmas. Everyone is healthy. Travis is well rested. Pacheco should be ready to go with more carries. Chris Jones is good to go. Hollywood is good to go. Even Jaylen Watson is back after breaking his ankle or whatever he did. The whole band is back together minus Rashee Rice.
1. Playoff Pat!
There is only one quarterback in the league better than Patrick Mahomes. And that is playoff Pat. The only thing better than Playoff Pat is specifically Divisional round Playoff Pat. Pat is 6-0, averages over 300 yards per game and has never thrown an interception while accounting for 16 touchdowns. I’m looking forward to watching the greatness on Saturday.
Tune in tomorrow for Five for Friday which will really be Four for Friday when I pick the winners for this round.
