Let\u2019s now take a look at each of these games below, beginning with the clash between the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-163048\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NFL-Divisional-Round-Predictions-1.jpg\" alt=\"NFL Divisional Round Predictions\" width=\"900\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Picks and Predictions for the NFL Divisional Round Weekend Games for the 2020-21 Season Playoffs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Los Angeles Rams (+6.5) vs Green Bay Packers (-6.5): Saturday Jan 16 (4:35 PM ET)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who will the Rams have under center in the divisional round? John Wolford was not able to finish the team\u2019s 30-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round, while Jared Goff is still dealing with a thumb issue. Goff, however, is reportedly practicing, so that\u2019s a good sign for the Rams. As for the Packers, Aaron Rodgers and company are well-rested after taking a bye last week. The Packers warmed up for the playoffs by whipping the Chicago Bears in Week 17 during a 35-16 road win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prediction:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Packers win, 27-23.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Baltimore Ravens (+2) vs Buffalo Bills (-2): Saturday Jan 16 (8:15 PM ET)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the league go head to head in this terrific matchup. On one hand, we have 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, who\u2019s been driving the Ravens\u2019 offense that has scored at least 34 points in four of the team\u2019s last six games. On the other hand, we have Josh Allen. The Bills\u2019 attack has been elevated status this season with Allen under center, but he\u2019s also got Stefon Digg\u2019s arrival to Buffalo to thank for. The Bills had the second-best offense back in the regular season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prediction:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bills win, 30-27.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Cleveland Browns (+10) vs Kansas City Chiefs (-10): Sunday Jan 17 (3:05 PM ET)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s weird seeing the Browns play football during this time of the year, but they\u2019ve definitely earned that after taking down the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road last week, 48-37, despite missing head coach Kevin Stefanski and a few other key players. Now, the Browns will get Stefanski back along with Joel Bitonio, Denzel Ward, and Kevin Johnson. But will all those be enough for the Browns to upset the Chiefs? Kansas City rested last week and it only lost to the LA Chargers in Week 17 because the Chiefs opted to play a bunch of backups instead. Are we going to see the Browns\u2019 \u2018Cinderella run\u2019 continue? Or will the Chiefs stop Baker Mayfield and company on their track<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prediction: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chiefs win, 33-29.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3.5) vs New Orleans Saints (-3.5): Sunday Jan 17 (6:40 PM ET)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combined age of Tom Brady and Drew Brees is 84. But so what? These are two future Hall of Famers who still got game, and they each will look to lead their team to a win this coming Sunday. Brady and the Bucs have lost both regular-season meetings with New Orleans, but Playoff Brady is just different, as evidenced by his performance in last weekend\u2019s 31-23 road win over the Washington Football Team. The Saints, meanwhile, will try to build on their dominant performance in the Wild Card round in which they defeated the Chicago Bears at home, 21-9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prediction: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Buccaneers win, 31-27.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-163048 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NFL-Divisional-Round-Predictions-1.jpg\" alt=\"NFL Divisional Round Predictions\" width=\"900\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"167699\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,915&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The grind of the NFL Playoffs continues this weekend, with all eight of the remaining teams set to vie for the four tickets for the conference championship round.
