Eastern Maine Sports NFL Divisional Playoff picks

January 20, 2023

Jeff Hoak and Chris Lessner went 5-1 with their NFL Wild Card predictions this past weekend. Marc Calnan went 4-2, and trails Hoak overall by three games with seven contests left to be played. Jeff would clinch the overall season title if he is able to beat Marc by at least a game this week. This weekend the playoffs head to the Divisional Round, as the first one to kick off Saturday sees the surprising Jacksonville Jaguars heading to Arrowhead Stadium to battle Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. After an upset over Minnesota, it’s a clash of NFC East foes in Philadelphia as the New York Giants pay a visit to the Eagles. On Sunday, the defending AFC Champs from Cincinnati travel into Buffalo to play the Bills, and a rivalry renewed in the capper of the weekend has the Dallas Cowboys heading out West to tangle with the red hot San Francisco 49ers. Here are the results from Wild Card Weekend, the season standings, and the Divisional Round predictions-
