Well, I took a few chances with my picks last week (Jags and Chargers) and came up empty. Joshua, on the other hand, crushed it:

Joshua: 5-1

Sunny: 4-2

Jason: 3-3

But there’s still plenty of football to come. Here are our picks for the divisional round of the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos

Last week, I pointed out the fact that Josh Allen was the best QB in the postseason field, which always gives the Bills an advantage. But the path to the Super Bowl is going to be awfully tough for him. Just to get there, he’ll need to win three road games this month. He looked the part in Jacksonville this week, but things won’t get any easier at Mile High this afternoon. Denver should be rested and they seem to have a little bit of magic whenever they’ve needed it. I think this one will come down to the wire and I’m taking Denver on a late field goal.

Jason: Broncos

Joshua: Bills

Sunny: Broncos

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks

I continue to be so impressed by Kyle Shanahan. Injuries continue to ravage his roster and all he does is win. But this Seattle team is really good. When they played a couple of weeks back, Seattle’s defense completely throttled Shanahan’s offense — which came in on a heater. The wild card here is Sam Darnold’s health. Reports sound optimistic this morning, but even if Darnold doesn’t play, I think the smothering defense will be enough for the ‘Hawks to advance to the NFC Championship Game next week.

Jason: Seahawks

Joshua: Seahawks

Sunny: 49ers

Houston Texans at New England Patriots

I find myself leaning in the direction of the dominant defenses with these picks. I suspect Mike Vrabel will have the Patriots ready to defend their home turf Sunday afternoon, but I just love the way the Texans’ D gets after it. Even though the Texans are 0-6 in the divisional round, if CJ Stroud can play mistake-free ball, I could see Houston pulling the road upset in this one.

Jason: Texans

Joshua: Texans

Sunny: Texans

Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears

Okay, so I know I just said I tend to pick the defenses. But this Rams offense, man. Their path to the Super Bowl is just like Buffalo’s — they’ll have to win three road games — but with Matthew Stafford and all of those weapons, it just seems like they’re never out of a game. Forecast says it should be single digits by kickoff, which will likely impact both offenses. But I can’t wait to watch this one. I’m taking the Rams to win at Soldier Field.

Jason: Rams

Joshua: Bears

Sunny: Bears
