Greg's 2022 NFL Picks: Divisional Round Edition

 So in the wild card round, I went 3-3. Not much to say about that. Dallas is annoyed about the refs, but they deserved to lose that game; lock, stock and barrel. Now onto the divisional round where all the teams are of very good quality. LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Bengals @ Titans: I did not love the way the Bengals performed against the Raiders. They should have beaten them up and instead had to hang on for dear life. Tennessee, meanwhile, gets Derrick Henry back at last and the key way to stop a high scoring offense is to run the ball and keep it away from the opposing offense. I LOVE the Titans in this matchup. I think the spot is too big for Cincy.

Victory: Titans


49ers @ Packers:  The tundra of Lambeau Field should be frozen for this game; it's scheduled to be in the teens and lower at gametime. Niners can run the ball effectively to slow down Rodgers, and their defense has risen up, but Jimmy G still scares me. That Dallas game should have been over and he let them back in the game. Can't do that against Green Bay. And I think he will end up making a big mistake that will allow Rodgers to win the game. Packers, in a close one.

Victory: Packers


Rams @ Buccaneers: This game comes down to the offensive lines which are both hurting. Whitworth is out for the Rams and Wirfs plus Jensen are questionable for Tampa. I'm going to take a stab in this game. I think the Rams are going to win. Donald is going to have a field day rushing Brady which is the one way to get him, and the Rams are going to prove a much tougher challenge for the Tampa defense than Philly. Cam Akers looked great running the ball and I think he will again. Rams in an small upset.

Victory: Rams


Bills @ Chiefs: The Bills did something last week that I haven't seen them do in a long time. They ran the football effectively with running backs. Devin Singletary looked as impressive as he has ever has in that New England game. If the Bills continue to do that, they're going to the Super Bowl. Will they do it? I think they do. Both teams have been up and down all year but I think the Bills unlocked who they can be last week. And now nothing will stop them. Outside of Mahomes being brilliant. But I don't think he's brilliant enough. Bills get revenge.

Victory: Bills
