Divisional Predictions
Houston at New England
After grinding out a 19-13 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Texans will have revenge on their mind against the Patriots.
In Week 14, the Texans were blown out by Tom Brady and the Patriots, 42-14.
Getting off to a quick start will be key, as Houston isn't designed to come from behind. The Patriots have had a week off to rest and prepare for a Super Bowl run, so pulling off the upset will prove difficult.
New England 24, Houston 14
Green Bay at San Francisco
The Packers proved that they are ready to make a run at the Super Bowl once again after last season's playoff failures. With a commendable effort from both sides of the ball, the Packers beat the Vikings, 24-10.
They won't see a back like Adrian Peterson during the rest of the playoffs—there isn't anyone else like him on the planet—but they will be tested by the Niners.
These two teams met all the way back in Week 1 and San Francisco came out on top, 30-22.
These teams have changed a lot since then, and the Packers are playing at a really high level. This will be a close game and could be the best matchup of the round.
That being said, the Niners have the defense to give Aaron Rodgers fits.
San Francisco 28, Green Bay 24
