Image Source: SB Nation

Browns @ Texans

The Browns go to Houston to play the Texans at 4:30 on Saturday January, 13. The Texans Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has had an outstanding season leading the Texans to 10-7. On the other hand, the Browns have Joe Flacco, who in the last games of the season, has taken over as he has led the Browns into the playoffs and the number five seed. 

Final Score Prediction: Browns 23 Texans 20.  


Dolphins @ Chiefs

The Dolphins go to Kansas City. The Chiefs have had an uncharacteristic season going 11-6 with many offensive struggles throughout the season. Despite the struggles for the Chiefs, the Dolphins have been on a downward spiral and have played worse than the Chiefs. The Chiefs will pick up a win at home with the temperatures in the negatives. The Dolphins simply do not win cold weather games. 

Final Score Prediction: Chiefs 28 Dolphins 20 


Steelers @ Bills  

The Steelers go to Buffalo to play the Bills. The Steelers have had a great end to their season and are getting hot at the right time. Despite being on their third string quarterback, Mason Rodolph, they have played well. Josh Allen keeps throwing picks and the Bill’s run game has been nothing short of terrible all season. 

Final Score Prediction: Steelers 24 Bills 21


Packers @ Cowboys    

The Packers who are led by quarterback Jordan Love will head to Dallas where they have been very good against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have all kinds of firepower with Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott. 

Final Score Prediction: Cowboys 28 Packers 10

Rams @ Lions

The Rams who have had a bit of a surprise run will try to take down the also surprising Lions…who have been excellent. The Lions will be ready for their first home playoff game in forever, and perhaps their playoff win in over 30 years. 

Final Prediction: Lions 35 Rams 17.

Eagles @ Buccaneers

The Eagles stumbled into the playoffs and will now have to go into Tampa Bay and try and get a win. The Eagles are the better team but have not played well. Baker Mayfield and the Bucs will beat them. 

Final Prediction: Buccaneers 35 Eagles 32.
