With the Rams win over the Vikings the dates and times are set for this weekend's divisional round games. Hopefully they will be better than this weekend's games were. The only lower seed to get a win in wild card weekend were the Commanders.

Saturday January 18th:

Texans at Chiefs - ESPN/ABC at 4:30pm

Commanders at Lions - FOX at 8:00pm

Sunday January 19th:

Rams at Eagles - NBC at 3:00pm

Ravens at Bills - CBS at 6:30pm

The 4 winners will play for the AFC & NFC Championships on Sunday Jan. 26 with the NFC Championship on FOX at 3:00pm and the AFC Championship on CBS at 6:30pm.

From DraftKings.

If you follow spreads, 1.5 has become the new toss-up zone, often flipping between home and road favorites through the week. Baltimore is now favored, but it opened with Buffalo giving 1.5.

Really looking forward to Baltimore - Buffalo. 
 

And boy, how Sam Darnold’s stock plummeted over the last two weeks.  

RE: Buffalo/Baltimore. It is not a shock to see the Ravens favored, and I was shocked Buffalo started out giving points considering Buffalo was handled by Baltimore earlier in the season. Ironically, that game occurred in week 4, before either team hit their stride.

Any preferences?

I love Mike Tirico, but Collinsworth grates on my nerves like a bad toothache. They are definitely last in preferences. 

Aikman is OK but I'm not a huge fan of Buck.

The Prime crew is fine.

Brady is much improved and I actually found myself enjoying that crew a couple times the last few weeks.

CBS used easily be my favorite, but you never know which Romo you're going to get. When he's "On" they are the best, he just doesn't always have his fastball all the time anymore. 

Play by play aren't difference makers for me. On the analysts, I like Romo the best. Brady definitely improving. He made a couple excellent insights last week that I  don't think I've heard anyone else say. The others are good and none of them bother me.

Brady has gotten better through the season. Starting out, it was Dennis Miller-level bad. And I'm with you on the play-by-play guys. These five dudes are top-shelf pros. It amazes me how well they are at their trade.

If I had to vote for one, I would cast it for Buck-Aikman.

The Texans and Chiefs from about a month ago just started on the NFL Network if anyone is feeling like some NFL.

Mixon is questionable with an ankle. 

ESPN is going straight to NFL Countdown at the conclusion of the Alabama and Kentucky game.

I love that but normally ESPN gets on my nerves and I end up on the NFL Network for Game Day whatever. 

Big defensive stand by Houston after allowing the long kickoff return by Kansas City.

The Chiefs start great a kickoff return to start the game all the way to the Texans 21 yard he fumbles but ex Bengals Perine. The Texans defense however holds the Chiefs to a FG as their offense lost 1 yard on 3 plays. Chiefs 3 Texans to get the ball.
