(5) Browns at (4) Texans, 4:30 p.m. ET We like the surging and surprising Texans to beat the Browns.For just the second time in 20 years, the Browns are in the playoffs. These two teams met back in Week 16, but you probably shouldn’t take too much away from that 36-22 win by Cleveland because C.J.Stroud didn’t play. The Texans superstar rookie will be on the field this week and he’ll be facing one of his biggest tests of the season in the Browns defense. Rookies galore in the lone state of Texas, as c first year coach DeMeco Ryans has his team rolling at full gears for this game.
(6) Dolphins at (3) Chiefs, 8 p.m. ET We like the powerful Chiefs, but this will be a close game with Tyreek Hill getting an another chance at beating his former team, and this time, he gets to do it in Kansas City. These two teams did meet back in Week 9 in a game that Kansas City won 21-14, but that game was played in Germany. The temperature in Kansas City is expected to be below 12 degrees on Saturday night. Mahones will be in fine form vs Tua, as we expect a “shoot out” between the two teams.
Sunday, Jan. 14
(7) Steelers at (2) Bills, 1 p.m. ET We like the Bills to squeak by the Steelers by a touchdown with the Bills Mafia supporting.This game will be played in Buffalo, where the Bills have been nearly unbeatable this year, going 7-1. Josh Allen has faced the Steelers four times in his career and he’s gone 3-1 in those games. The Sunday forecast in Buffalo is calling for sub-freezing temperatures with possible snow.
(7) Packers at (2) Cowboys 4:30 p.m. ET We like Jordan Love leadership to beat the Cowboys by a field goal.McCarthy lost the first meeting in 2022 and will be looking to get his first win over Green Bay. This will be an entertaining game to watch.
(6) Rams at (3) Lions 8 p.m. ET We like the Detroit Lions effort all year and it continues in the playoffs with a decisive victory over the Rams. For their first home playoff game in 30 years, the Lions will be welcoming a former player back to Detroit:Matthew Stafford.The Rams QB led the Lions to the playoffs three times, but never got to play a home game. This will also be a huge game for Jared Goff who will be facing a team and a head coach that traded him away.Former players and former teams, as it should be a good matchup in the dome.
Monday, Jan. 15
(5) Eagles at (4) Buccaneers 8:15 p.m. ET . This will be a tough game and the Bucs will keep this game close with Baker Mayfield at the helm at QB, but the Eagles will prevail with a 3 point win.The Eagles are bumbling and stumbling into the playoffs, but they will head to Tampa Bay knowing that they beat the Buccaneers 25-11 at Raymond James Stadium early in the season, therefore the Bucs will seek revenge this weekend.
