Texans have the better quarterback and are at home. They’ll win.

Titans are the better team. But are you really picking Tennessee to go into Foxborough and beat the Patriots? I’m sure not.

Saints are much better than the Vikings and the Dome will be rocking. This one won’t be close.

Eagles are at home and Wentz is playing well. But Russell Wilson has been so good this season, and I just don’t see him going one and done in the playoffs. Seahawks in a close one.

I'll go with:

Texans
Patriots
Saints
Seahawks

Saturday is going to be really fun. All AFC, I can’t wait. Nice to know the opponent before Sunday.

I have a feeling the Eagles will pull off the upset

Extra day of prep for the Chiefs.

Really nice.

The Patriots closed out 2019 with seven players practicing on a limited basis and they opened up the new year the same way.

New England’s second injury report of the week is exactly the same as the one they turned in on Tuesday.

Linebacker Ja'whaun Bentley (knee), safety Terrence Brooks (groin), right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle), linebacker Jamie Collins (shoulder), wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder), cornerback Jonathan Jones (groin) and cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) were limited participants in the session.

McCourty and Brooks were the only players in that group who did not play in the Patriots’ Week 17 loss to the Dolphins. Assuming no one is downgraded for Friday’s practice, it would seem that most of the players slowed in practice should be able to go against the Titans on Saturday night.

Playoff days are a blast when your team is IN the playoffs and aren't playing. I love it.

TEN should roll right over NE.

They crushed them last year. Made Brady look like Andy Dalton.

If they run Henry and Lewis 30-35 times (Pats run D is just league-average) and maybe try the MIA plan of running 4 or more trick plays (maybe something like the Philly Special; Tannehill is a former WR), they should simply grind NE into the dirt.

I think the Chiefs’ easiest matchup in the divisional round is the Bills. Andy has a stellar record against his former assistants, and limited offenses with erratic QBs don’t matchup well with us. So I’m kinda rooting for that.

I’m just sick of the Patriots. I hate talking about them and listening to people talk about them. As much as I’d love to end the Tom Brady era, I would trade that privilege for dead silence about them for an extra week.

But, ehhh doesn’t matter. We’ll beat anybody we have to play.

I'm sorry, SNR.

You know you want this.

I don’t care who KC plays really to be honest. They should beat them all given the circumstances and probably by double digits.

Here is my overall playoff prediction breakdown..

WC Round

AFC

Tennessee over New England

24-13

Mike Vbrabel seems to have a knack for beating his old team. The physical defense they play mixed with Henry and Brown being an outside playmaker is just to much for a limping New England to handle.

Buffalo over Houston

20-16

I don't think this game will be very exciting, I expect punts galore as Watson struggles with top end defenses and the Bills have a crappy offense. I think the Bills defense basically wins this game as Allen just does enough not to lose it.

NFC

New Orleans over Minnesota

34-17

Don't really expect much of a game here, I don't see Minnesota as on the Saints level, especially being in New Orleans.

Seattle over Philly.

27-21

Philly just has to many injuries to win this game. I think Wilson is better at being a one man show than Wentz is and that is the difference.

Divisional round.

AFC

Tennessee over Baltimore

26-24

This is my upset special playoff pick. Baltimore sitting their key players for essentially 3 weeks goes a long way to throwing off your rhythm. Also Tennessee has a blend that can hurt Baltimore in that they can ball control to keep Lamar off the field while attacking deep with their receivers which is a big weakness for the Ravens. I think this will be a very tough physical game that will leave both teams hurting in the end. I think sitting for several weeks will have an affect on Jacksons accuracy also and it will show here.

Kansas City over Buffalo

27-17

While I like Buffalo's defense and think it's a top of the league unit, I don't think they can do enough to win here. Reid with 2 weeks to prepare will have enough wrinkles to score points while the Buffalo offense will struggle to keep pace.

NFC

Packers over Saints

31-24

I think the Saints are a more talented overall team but I am not picking a dome team to win in Green Bay in January, also Drew Brees is a significantly different player out of the dome.

Seattle over SF

27-24

These teams face off yet again and I think Seattle grabs the rubber match. They have so much more playoff experience and these things just tend to happen.

Championship round

AFC

Kansas City over Tennessee

31-21

Tennessee coming off of an extremely physical game is beat up here and just can't score to hang with the Chiefs in Arrowhead.

NFC

Green Bay over Seattle

34-20

Green Bay gets this win in the cold weather over a game Seattle team that goes further than anyone thought.

SB

Kansas City over Green Bay

35-27
