Houston Texans vs Kansas City Chiefs (-8.5)
I think it's going to be difficult for the Texans to score points in this matchup. The Chiefs already took down the Texans by eight points at home in December, and I find it hard to believe that Kansas City doesn't have another gear in the postseason. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs move on to another AFC Championship Game.
Prediction: Kansas City 23, Houston 13

Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions (-9.5)
The Lions enter this matchup after a bye week and are slowly getting healthier, which is bad news for the Commanders. This Detroit offense is difficult to stop, and I'm not sure the Commanders have the personnel to limit them. We've known the Lions goal this year since they were stunned in the second half of the NFC Championship Game last year. The difference this time is that the Lions will host it.
Prediction: Lions 33, Commanders 23

Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5)
The Rams are the one team remaining that can play the role of spoiler in my eyes and really mess up the bracket. In saying that, the Eagles mean business, and this roster is built to win in January with how they run the football and play defense. It's hard to win in Philadelphia, and the Rams will see that first hand in January. Eagles win, Rams cover.
Prediction: Eagles 24, Rams 21

Baltimore Ravens (-1.5) vs Buffalo Bills
This is the game that everyone is waiting for. The Ravens and Bills are two of the top teams in the NFL, and one will go home after the Divisional Round. As much as these teams are evenly matched, the Ravens simply match up well with the Bills, which we saw earlier this season. I think that holds true again in this matchup, even with the Bills hosting the game.
Prediction: Ravens 27, Bills 24
