No eliminations this round, except for those posters who missed making their picks. So a very large amount of us are advancing to the next round - some in better shape than others, of course. We also have our first ever awarded bonus points for the exact score - bluerisk nailed Browns 48-37 over Steelers.

Divisional Round
Saturday January 16th 4:35pm EST LA Rams @ Green Bay
8:15pm Baltimore @ Buffalo
Sunday January 17th 3:05pm Cleveland @ Kansas City
Packers over Rams - The Packers have a much better team and are at home, I don’t trust Goff, and the Packers will win handily. Final Score - Packers 34, Rams 17
Bills over Ravens - Very tough pick but I think the Bills have a good enough defense to slow down the Ravens rushing and Allen and the Bills will outscore Lamar and the Ravens. Final Score - Bills 27, Ravens 24
Chiefs over Browns - Browns defense won’t be able to slow down Mahomes and the Chiefs. Final Score - Chiefs 45, Browns 27
Buccaneers over Saints - Brady and the Bucs are red hot and I like their offense more than I like the Saints offense, so I’ll take the Bucs. Final Score - Bucs 38, Saints 31
Surprised at the love the Bucs are getting against the Saints. Does everyone forget how the two regular season games went this year?
I'm probably gonna choose the Bucs, in all honesty. That offense is just playing so much better now than they were the last time they played the Saints. AB gets better every game. And it's really hard for a team to beat another 3 times in one season.
