The best weekend on the sports calendar is upon us! The NFL’s divisional round never fails to deliver, and even if we get three meh games early on — there are some large point spreads, that’s for sure — we always have the Chiefs-Bills Sunday nightcap (on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ if you didn’t know, and if you did go ahead and tell someone) to salvage the weekend with an epic playoff battle between two conference rivals.
We got things started the right way last weekend, going a scorching 5-1 in this space with the Super Wild Card Weekend best bets so let’s look to keep that rolling.

The Browns moved the ball decently, compiling 324 yards, they just whiffed on fourth down (0-fer on four attempts) and turned it over a ton.

The return of Mark Andrews would’ve helped matters (he reportedly won’t be activated), but Houston being a pass funnel will. I expect the Ravens to come out of the gates hot and score early. Houston’s potent offense might keep them in the game, but there’s a chance Baltimore pulls off a repeat of Week 1 in which they…
