The divisional round matchups will feature NFL powerhouses against road underdogs who pulled off eye-opening upsets last week, a battle between former No. 1 overall picks and a growing AFC rivalry.
Bleacher Report’s NFL expert panel, which includes analysts Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Gary Davenport, Brent Sobleski and Maurice Moton along with editors Wes O’Donnell, Ian Hanford and editor Bryan Toporek, took some lumps last week, going 2-4 against the spread and 3-3 straight up, but they will counter with some money-making picks this week for the divisional round.
The crew heavily sided with a home favorite in one matchup but split evenly on decisions for the other three games.
Does our panel expect C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love to put a couple of No. 1-seeded teams on upset alert? Can Baker Mayfield slay the Detroit Lions for a spot in the NFC Championship Game? Is this the end of the road for the reigning champions?
Our experts weighed in with their thoughts.
