NFL 2024: Divisional Round Picks

The second round of the 2024-25 NFL Playoffs is upon us, with four exciting games on the docket.

On Saturday, the #1 seeds finally get to shake off their rust. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas Cjty Chiefs host C.J. Stroud and the AFC South-winning Houston Texans in the afternoon slot.

Then, Jared Goff and Dan Campbell’s high-flying Detroit Lions, the #1 seed in the NFC, host the Washington Commanders, led by rookie Jayden Daniels who already has a playoff win under his belt in his young career.

On Sunday, battle-tested teams clash, with Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams and Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, both of whom have reached the Super Bowl in recent years, facing off first.

Then the toughest game of all to pick, and an absolute must-see: Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens going head-to-head with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line.
