It's a long way down, it's long division.....

 So, in the Wildcard Games this past weekend, I went 4-2 with my predictions.  66% isn't too bad.  Let's see how I do this week in the Divisional Round.

Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs

I will never bet against the Chiefs in the playoffs.  They don't always win, but them losing a rare occurrence indeed. 

Nuff said. 

Chiefs win this one. 

Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions

Detroit is on FIRE this year.  And I'm here for it.  One of the few teams to never have made it to a Super Bowl, much less won one, I've been pulling for the Lions all year (except when they played Dallas).  The Lions are historically a team (at least in my memory) that never did anything.  Ever.  So these last two season have been a Cinderella story.  And I love it.  They're the NFC team I'm pulling for to get to the Super Bowl.  And really, despite not hating the Commanders as much as did their racist former named teams, I still don't want Washington to get anywhere.  I just can't get behind DC football.

Detroit win this one. 

Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles

I still don't like either of these teams.  I'm more apathetic towards the Rams and more just totally dislike the Eagles.  I don't really care which of these two win.  I'd like to go with apathy over dislike, but I just can't.  I think the Eagles are too much.  So...

Eagles win this one. 

Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills

Honest to God, I have no idea who's gonna win this.  They're both such impressive teams.  If either of these were playing any other (except for the Chiefs), I'd pick either one of these right away.  But they're playing each other, and now....man, I don't know.

I prefer the Ravens to the Bills.  But the Bills are going gangbusters.  AND they're playing IN Buffalo.  Which is a benefit to them usually due to the cold.  So that could be the difference. 

I'm gonna go with the Bills, just because they're at home.  But I wouldn't really be upset if the Ravens did.
