The first weekend of the NFL Playoffs was mostly forgettable with a number of blowouts and a bizarre ending in Dallas. The San Francisco 49ers were the only team to win on the road after breaking Cowboys fans’ hearts. Now, the 49ers go to Green Bay for an enticing matchup.
The marquee game on paper could be the Kansas City Chiefs against the Buffalo Bills. It’s Patrick Mahomes against Josh Allen, two of the most exciting quarterbacks in the league. The Bills won in Kansas City in the regular season and will have to do so again to make the AFC Championship Game.
Two other games this round are also rematches from the regular season. The Packers won in San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in California. Only the Tennessee Titans-Cincinnati Bengals game is a fresh matchup.
For the second straight week, the home team is favored in every game. However, unlike in the last round, the spreads are all within a touchdown. The Packers are the biggest favorite after opening as a 5.5-point favorite.
