Games
Texans v
Browns
MAXE PICK: CLEVELAND BROWNS
The Texans' performance this season has been incredible, but more incredible for me has been the return of Joe Flacco to the NFL. There is no doubt this is going to be an amazing game.
FINAL SCORE: HOUSTON TEXANS 45 - 14 CLEVELAND BROWNS
Chiefs v
Dolphins
MAXE PICK: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
There are some "predictions" about the weather tomorrow for this game and they say this may be the coldest game in NFL history. Although we can't trust 100% weather forecast, the weather will be a factor in this game. Also, Kansas City hasn't had the great season everybody was thinking, still I don't believe the Dolphins can take them down.
FINAL SCORE: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 26 - 7 MIAMI DOLPHINS
Bills v
Steelers
MAXE PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS
My prediction for this game might be ridiculous for somebody. I really will be going against the odds on this one. Josh Allen's performance in the games has not been far from OK, but somehow he manages to win. I'll trust the Steelers' defense, but could the offense score against Buffalo?
FINAL SCORE: BUFFALO BILLS 31 - 17 PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Cowboys v
Packers
MAXE PICK: GREEN BAY PACKERS
A great game! Cowboys' HC Mike McCarthy will receive his former team in a playoff round! IN THE SAME STADIUM HE WON THE SUPER BOWL WITH THE PACKERS! What a great scenario! The last time McCarthy played the Packers he lost, but the Packers were led by Aaron Rodgers back then. It's time now for a young Green Bay team to create history.
FINAL SCORE: DALLAS COWBOYS 32 - 48 GREEN BAY PACKERS
Lions v
Rams
MAXE PICK: DETROIT LIONS
Another great scenario! Remember when Goff and Stafford were traded? This time they are facing each other IN THE PLAYOFFS! Each QB is against his former team. Mathew Stafford has proved that that trade was beneficial for him, but Jared Goff has something to prove.
FINAL SCORE: DETROIT LIONS 24 - 23 LOS ANGELES RAMS
Buccaneers v
Eagles
MAXE PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
FINAL SCORE: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 32 - 9 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
1st Round Byes
NFC: San Francisco 49ers
AFC: Baltimore Ravens
