We can finally take a breath after a thrilling Wild Card Weekend and turn our attention to the Divisional Round, which some deem as the best weekend of the NFL season.
The first game of the weekend pits the No. 1 seed in the AFC Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars at 4:30 EST on Saturday, who are on the heels of one of the greatest postseason comebacks in NFL history, rallying to beat the Chargers 31-30 on a last second field goal.
The Jaguars travelled to Kansas City in Week 10 and lost 27-17, coming up short of covering the 9.5-point spread (depending on when you bet it), but do Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville now have the confidence to compete with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?
The Saturday night matchup is the lone rematch of divisional opponents with the New York Giants taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. New York held off the Vikings on the road this past weekend and will look to get their first win against the Eagles this season after losing as recently in Week 18, albeit without many key starters.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM EST with the Eagles laying a touchdown
Sunday’s action gets started at 3 PM EST when the Cincinnati Bengals head to Buffalo to face the Bills. This is a rematch of the two teams that played a no contest in Week 17 after the Damar Hamlin incident in Cincinnati and will meet once again in a different location.
Neither team looked their Super Bowl level on Sunday against backup quarterbacks, each team won by one possession that required a defensive stop to secure the victory, but are still seen as legitimate contenders.
Who will go to the AFC Championship game? Here’s the early odds:
Divisional Round weekend is capped off on Sunday at 6:30 PM EST when the Dallas Cowboys hit the road to face the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas blew out Tampa Bay 31-14 in the Wild Card round on Monday night to set up this rematch from last year’s Wild Card round rematch.
