NFL Divisional Round Weekend picks and previews

Everything you need to know about all 4 playoff games and why the Chargers and Colts can pull off the upset

The 2019 NFL playoffs are off and running, and already things have gotten crazy. All four road teams covered in Wild Card Weekend, and the NFC East probably shouldn’t have had any playoff teams but somehow has two of the final eight. Three quarterbacks made playoff debuts and lost, while the magic continued for Nick Foles with a double doink win.

That was fun and all, but now we get to the real games. The Saints, Chiefs, and Rams have been the consensus top three most of the season, and all three of them are at home and rested. The Divisional Round is a different animal than Wild Card Weekend. Home teams win around 75% of the time in the Divisional Round. Essentially one of the four teams coming off a bye loses. The other three win, and a couple usually coast.

The NFC may have given us a couple snoozers, but the AFC features two intriguing matchups that could go either way with a pair of dangerous road opponents in the Chargers and Colts. We went 3–1 against the spread last week and have been hot three weeks running. Let’s consider every angle and make some winning picks.
