We're down to EIGHT teams left fighting to take home the Lombardi Trophy.
After a mostly unexciting Wild Card round (only one game was within single digits), we have four more games this weekend that have a much better chance to produce some fireworks.
Despite the Wild Card games not being great, our best bets were. We went 3-0, hitting on the Bills -8.5 and the Unders in the Ravens/Steelers and Eagles/Packers games.
Our season record now sits at 71-51-1 (58.2%), while our picks of the week are at 22-12 (64.7%).
Let's keep it rolling with two picks for the NFL Divisional round.

NFL Divisional Round Best Bets
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans UNDER 41.5 – Saturday, 4:30 pm ET on ABC
We got a preview of just how good the Houston defense can be last week when they held the Chargers to just 12 points.
In addition, while Houston may seem like they got things together on offense, scoring 32 points, that is a little misleading, with 10 of those points coming off turnovers, including a pick-six.
Don’t look for a very experienced Chiefs team to make the same mistakes against Houston as the Chargers did.
Defensively, both teams rank in the top 10 in yards allowed per game, which will present a challenge for both teams to move the ball and, more importantly, score points.
This is not the same explosive offense we have seen in the past from the Chiefs. They are averaging just 327.6 yards per game, ranking 17th in the league. The Texans are even worse, averaging 319.7 yards, putting them at 22nd in the league.
The weather will be a factor, with wind gusts over 20 mph and a real-feel temperature in the single digits.
That should mean a large dose of RB Joe Mixon from the Texans as they try to control the clock and keep Patrick Mahomes off the field.
Look for a low-scoring game with the UNDER cashing on Saturday afternoon.

NFL Pick of the Week: Philadelphia Eagles -6 vs. Los Angeles Rams – Sunday, 3 pm ET on NBC
These two teams met earlier this year in Los Angeles and the Eagles took care of business 37-20. While I don’t expect as much scoring this time around, I do expect the Eagles to control this game and take care of business.
The issue for the Rams will be stopping Eagles RB Saquon Barkley. The Rams are 22nd in the league against the run, allowing 130 yards per game.
We saw the Rams bring a lot of pressure against Sam Darnold in the Wild Card round, but don’t expect that type of success against the Eagles. The Eagles offensive line is strong and Jalen Hurts can move out of the pocket to avoid the pressure and either run or give his star WRs AJ Brown and Devonta Smith time to get open.
It is not a good spot situationally for the Rams, as well. They will be playing on one day less rest than the Eagles and have to come across the country for a bad-weather game after having to play in Arizona instead of Los Angeles last week due to the fires. The temperature will be in the 30s on Sunday afternoon, with a few inches of snow.
Look for the Eagles to cover and advance to the NFC Championship game on Sunday.
