My Picks for the NFL Divisional Playoff 2023
Chiefs v Jags - Chiefs
I'm taking the Chiefs, this one should be pretty obvious, they are an 8.5 point favorite over the Jags despite them clutching up against the Chargers last week. They have the #1 offense and are #1 in passing yards in the league with 297.8. Mahomes, Kelce, and Jerick McKinnon are big names and big players in this matchup. I like Lawerence and Christian Kirk looks good, I just don’t know if they'll be able to come out on top.
Eagles v Giants - Eagles
Going with Philly on this, their defense is top tier and ever since their 2018 title I’ve quietly rooted for them when I can. Miles Sanders is having a great year finishing the regular season with 1,269 yards, but at the same time Jalen Hurts is playing with an injured shoulder so we will see.
BIlls v Bengals - Bills
This one is tough, but I'm going Buffalo. It will be tight and close, with I’m guessing a score in the high 20s/low 30s for both teams by the time things wrap up. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow are great QBs, but I think #BillsMafia is ready to finally go all the way and show out for this one. The Bills also have the #1 defense in the league to lock down people like Chase and Higgins.
Cowboys v 49ers - 49ers
Like the Bills and Eagles, the Niners have an amazing defense with the likes of Nick Bosa and Arik Armistead just to name a few. Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has also stopped up and looks good, at 67% completed attempts. Let's also of course not forget about the man himself CMC. I don’t hate how the Cowboys look and Dak has improved, but I also love seeing Stephen A. in a cowboy hat with a cigar…
