2023 NFL Divisional-Round Playoff Picks

Jacksonville Jaguars (+8.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs - The Chiefs are the better team when they are firing on all cylinders although there have been plenty of times this season where they haven't come out with the focus to take care of teams including a surprising loss to the Cots earlier in the season.   The Jaguars are playing well but may have a letdown after a surprise com from behind victory against the Chargers which may have had more to do with the Chargers giving up a big lead although Andy Reid does have several losses like that on his resume.  Interestingly enough Pederson and Reid will go against each other as former coaches of the Eagles.

New York Giants (+7.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles - The Giants have been playing well and covered last time against the Eagles in garbage time.  Can they actually made a game out of it remains to be seen because Jalen Hurts could be even healthier this time around although an upset could happen given that this is the 3rd time that the Eagles will be playing the Giants this season

Cincinnati Bengals (+4.5) @ Buffalo Bills- This is a repeat matchup from a few weeks ago although the Bengals offensive line is slightly more decimated with injuries.  The Bills in the meantime didn't take care of business against the Dolphins which increases the odds that the Bengals can do it.  

 Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco (-3.5) - This is a repeat of last year's playoff matchup where the Cowboys were upset by San Francisco.  This time around the 49ers are considered the favorites especially with the addition of Christian McCaffrey.  While Dallas is pining over a potential revenge it will be tough for them to convert it even against an inexperienced Brock Purdy  The 49ers have done an excellent job at slowing down the run.  They have had let downs but have been excellent off of byes.
