2022 Divisional Playoffs Picks

San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys (-3)-  Jimmy G gets his chance at redemption.  While the 49ers have successfully managed to win some games that some of not expected them to win.  Still, Dallas does have more offensive weapons.  Although Diggs is really going to have to do a good job on Deebo Samuels.  The Cowboys should win this game but it would not be surprising if Mike McCarthy gets outcoached by Kyle Shanahan.  

Jamarr Chase in his rookie season is looking to help the Bengals

win a playoff game which they haven't done since 1991

 Las Vegas Raiders @ Cincinnati Bengals (-6) - The Raiders are one of those teams that just keep on winning and managed to boot the Chargers out of the playoffs with an overtime win.  Derek Carr may struggle a bit in the colder weather.  The key to game will be keeping Joe Burrows protected. 

New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills (-4.5) - The Bills look to repeat their performance against the Patriots beatdown.  Wind should not be a factor like it was when the Patriots beat them earlier in the season.  

Philadelphia Eagles (+8) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tom Brady looks to get revenge against the last NFC team to beat the him in the playoffs along with Rob Gronkowski.  Still the Bucs are dealing with numerous guys missing including Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Leonard Fournette, and Ronald Jones.  The Bucs do play better at home.  Interestingly enough the Eagles have beaten Washington twice and the Saints who have beat the Bucs.  

Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams(-4) - The Rams have reeled a bit going into the playoffs but not as much as the Cardinals.  Arizona is certainly capable of pulling off the upset as they did a few weeks earlier in knocking off the Cowboys.    The Cardinals also blew out the Rams earlier in the season.  Still DeAndre Hopkins is out and James Conner is banged up which should allow the Rams to pull out ahead.   

The Steelers are expected to activate Juju Smith Schuster

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs (-12.5) -  The Steelers somehow made the playoffs.  The roadmap is there for the Steelers to make this competitive if they can run the ball effectively with Najee Harris.
