The Phinsider The Phinsider

The NFL’s playoff schedule continues on Saturday as the Divisional Round kicks off. Often seen as the best weekend of football, with the top eight teams from across the league facing off in four nationally televised games, there are consistently good games throughout the weekend.

Of course, this year’s divisional round has its work cut out for it after a wild-card weekend that featured crazy comebacks, last-second victories, and chases all around the schedule. How will this weekend’s games play out?

As we do every week, our contributors here at The Phinsider are back to make their predictions for the weekend’s games. While we run the season-long picks pool based on straight-up wins, our contributors can also make picks against the spread and on the point total for each game. You can check out all of our picks below, presented using Tallysight.

This year, Tallysight also introduced a way for you to get into the picks. You can sign up to join the community in the widget below and make your predictions for each game. Can the community do better than our contributors? There is only one way to find out.
