    Predictions!

    I'm picking all the home teams to win this weekend's NFL Divisional Round games. The Ravens/Bills game should be the most competitive.
    • Texans at Chiefs
    • Commanders at Lions
    • Rams at Eagles
    • Ravens at Bills
    In the CFB Championship, Ohio State wins easily.

    SuperbOwl matchup: Bills and Lions

    The Bills, the team I adopted mid-season, will have their hands full with the Ravens. The game I want to watch is Philadelphia in the snow. That is how I like my snow - on TV and far away from me

    I was surprised by Washington last night, I did not expect that kind of offensive output. It was a fun game to watch!

    It was lots of fun watching playoff football. Jayden Daniels was so impressive. I'd seen highlights, but Saturday was the first time I'd watched an entire Washington game. They don't make rookies like they used to!

    As a Pats fan, I don’t want to see the Chiefs get a three-peat, so I was rooting for the Texans in that game. Now I’m rooting for the Bills to stop them.

    Hope Washington's offensive line can hold up against the Eagles. I think the Eagles are the better team, but I’m rooting for Washington and against the Philly fans.

    I hate the Eagles, but as Charlie said, I think they are the better team. Maybe Daniels has more rookie magic. He has been impressive.

    I'm pulling for Notre Dame tonight. They are the higher seeded team, but Ohio St has looked really strong in these playoffs.

    Sorry guys I am an Eagles fan.
    Fly eagles fly.
    I've never seen Washington play so well. I do think the Eagles are going to have their hands full even though they beat them in the regular season. My grandson is a Washington fan. I was blown away the way they played and you can't take that from them. AlI I can say is WOW.

    We all have our faults.....

    I turned off the college game at 31-7 in the 3rd. The new 12 team playoff ended with a thud. Too bad.
