Commanders/Bucs 8:00: These teams met September 8th in TB with Mayfield throwing four TD passes in a comfortable win. Mayfield has been strong all season now that he's in a good offensive system and has a run game with Bucky Irving (1122 yards). Mayfield won't have Godwin like he did in the first game, but Evans and the return of TE Cade Otton gives him plenty of weapons. Washington's QB Daniels having a stellar rookie season and has a great supporting cast too; however, TB has a better defense than Washington, especially with the return of S Antoine Winfield Jr.. Should be the difference maker. We'll roll with TB

Packers/Eagles 4:30: Last season, Packers were the youngest team to win a playoff since the 1970 NFC/AFC merger. This season, knowing that last post-season they went into Dallas and won handily, a confident and more experienced Packers team is ready for the challenge in Philadelphia. QB Love (elbow) is good to go and has Doubs back this week to help fill the void of Watson (ACL). Also, Reed, Wicks, and underrated TE Kraft are big targets for Love. And 1300+ rusher Josh Jacobs has been stopped by few teams this season. On the other hand, Packers' defense will have to contain 2000 yard rusher Barkley, who ran for 3 TDs in the first game - opening day in Brazil. Since then, rookie LB Edgerrin Cooper became the heat seeking missile of the defense - leading in all run stopping categories. And the ball hawking secondary of GB led by FS Xavier McKinney's 8 INTs could be trouble for Hurts. Look for GB to stay in this one. Sirianni just 8-22 ATS vs opponent with same-season revenge. 

Broncos/Bills 1:00: Broncos should have a tough trip to Buffalo. Denver had some road issues on the road vs winning teams. As a matter of fact, if you throw out the January 5th KC game in which the Chiefs sat a majority of the their starters, Denver didn't fare well vs teams above .500 at 1-7 SU/3-5 ATS. Buffalo is a tough venue to visit. And ever since Joe Brady took over as OC, Josh Allen and the Bills offense started humming. Also, keep in mind that Josh Allen's 13 TD passes in 5 appearances in the Wild Card Round (4-1) is equivalent to Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger. And that Denver defense thrives on sacks and takeaways; however, Bills' Josh Allen is the least sacked QB in the NFL, and the Bills' offense turned the ball over only 8 times during the regular season; moreover, in the month of December, Denver defense got shredded by the Browns, Bengals and Chargers. Offensively for Denver, still question rookie Bo Nix on the road vs a winning team. Bills ball hawking secondary has gotten healthy and we'll look for them to create problems for the rookie. Rookie quarterbacks 0-5 SU/1-4 ATS in road playoff games. Bills the call.
