The NFL postseason continues with four thrilling matchups. Teams have fought hard to get to this point, and for all of these teams, the Super Bowl is within reach. Without further ado, let’s take a look at these four games and what to expect.

Houston Texans vs Kansas City Chiefs (Chiefs -8.5) – The Houston Texans picked up a nice win over the Los Angeles Chargers. They beat them 32-12 in what was a strong performance from C.J. Stroud. The Texans have a tough game ahead of them as they face the defending champions. The Kansas City Chiefs had a chance to rest last week, but they are back in action and are starting their path to another Super Bowl. The Chiefs ended their regular season with a big 38-0 loss to the Broncos, but they played without their main guys. With the time off and the stakes being higher, Kansas City will be ready to go.
Prediction: The Chiefs win
Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions (Lions -9.5) – The Washington Commanders’ stellar season continues for at least one more week. They finished the regular season with a record of 12-7 and they were one of the best stories in the NFL this season. They beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round and this time they have a tough team in Detroit. The Detroit Lions had a great regular season, and after some time off they are back in action. As well as the Commanders have done this year, the Lions should have no issue picking up a win.
Prediction: The Lions win
Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles (Eagles -6) – The Los Angeles Rams picked up an impressive 27-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings in a game where Minnesota was the favorite by a slim margin. The Rams are traveling to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers in their Wild Card game, and Jalen Hurts was in action after being out. The Eagles were 8-1 at home during the regular season, and chances are, they pick up a win on their home turf here.
Prediction: The Eagles win
Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills (Ravens -1) – The Baltimore Ravens took care of business in their last game, as they beat their AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers in their Wild Card game. Now, the Ravens are taking on a good team in Buffalo. The Bills beat the Broncos in their Wild Card game. The Bills were 8-0 at home this season and have a shot to get another win at home. This game is a matchup between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Both are exceptional quarterbacks and have what it takes to lead their teams to the Super Bowl.
When it came to the matchup, Jackson had some interesting words.
“Don’t get me wrong, there’s no problem or nothing like that, but we’re competing with each other. I’m trying to beat you. I’m not trying to be your friend.” Jackson said.
This is a big game for both quarterbacks and it simply could come down to who wants it more.
Prediction: The Ravens win
