Key Points:

  • The Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs features four key matchups, with expert predictions split mainly between the Broncos and Bills in the AFC, and the Seahawks and 49ers in the NFC.
  • Experts largely favor the Denver Broncos over the Buffalo Bills due to Denver's strong defense, bye week advantage, and Buffalo's injury concerns, despite Josh Allen's past playoff performances.
  • In the NFC, predictions lean towards the Seattle Seahawks over the injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers, with Seattle's defense and home-field advantage seen as critical factors.
  • The Patriots vs. Texans game is expected to be a defensive battle, with most experts favoring the Patriots due to Houston's key injury and New England's playoff experience.
