Last week 65 of us correctly picked SF. 5 new choices for week 2.

Tiebreaker will be margin of victory. One vote per person.

Agree here. I think 3 of the games are roughly fg spreads, so a lot of potential for road teams to win. Rams are just so well-rounded, and TB is injury laden right now so Rams.

 
LAR is easily the most popular choice. Recency bias on prime-time and the Bucs licking their wounds losing players left and right. Plus the Bucs lost to them already.

When the Jags and Texans are in your division, the Jets could coast to the AFC 1 seed.

Jags knocked IND out of the playoffs, but agree otherwise about them. As for Houston, I feel like they were way better than their record... Much like Detroit. Also, HOU beat TEN this season

Back to the point... TEN beat the Bills, KC, Rams and Niners this season.

Yeah, can't think a team with better wins or worse losses.

 
Tennessee is legit, but I think at this point of the season you have to be a tiny bit concerned when you are weak at qb compared to your opponent every game here in.

 
Picked the Rams on a rooting interest, but all of these are legit pending how certain injuries pan out.

 
Rams defense is legit and that will be the difference. Should be a great game....less than 7 points decides this one. Games should be much tighter this weekend. Looking forward to it. 
 

Rams win by 3 points.

I'm hoping for 4 close games myself. Makes the victory margin all important in terms of this poll. 🏈

If that is the case, you must hate SF's chances. 

I'm rolling with Buffalo here. I feel like this is the worst Chiefs team since Mahomes has become starter. 

 
Interesting stat I came across this morning. 

There hasn't been a 2nd half lead change in a playoff game since the TB/NO game in last years divisional round. That's kinda crazy.

I don't like SF's chances this week, no. Bills are definitely good enough to win, but KC is much better than when they player earlier this year. That game should be amazing and feels like the AFCCG not to insult the Cincy-Tenn teams.

 
I can see any of them except SF. I feel like they were beneficiaries of a LOT of Dallas mistakes that won't be repeated.

As a Bucs fan, Rams looked concerning last night. But the Bucs aren't Arizona. Voted Bengals.

 
Side note -- if this poll were a big deal (you know, big money on it or something) -- the tiebreaker makes things really intriguing, because in theory, there could be cases in which picking the team least likely to win could have the best expected return.

Good point, I was thinking of going with best odds as the tiebreaker. Problem is those odds keep changing through the week while the final scores are more of a static stat that can't be argued with.

Yeah that wouldn't work very well. Don't have a problem with the tiebreaker though, just interesting.

 
A field goal or less on the road isn’t much of a dog. 
Both 2 seeds lose
both 1 seeds win 

 
85 votes in, only one vote for "none of the above". 

Stranger things have happened in the NFL. 🏈

Feels like it should be SF, given that their physical style of football could be a bad matchup for the Packers, but I went with the Bills.  Not that the Chiefs aren't great, because they are, but the Bills look like a team that could steamroll to four wins and a Super Bowl win. 

 
Rams. If they play like they did last night the Bucs are in trouble. If Donald, Miller and company don’t get to Brady then TB has a chance. But I think they will get to him. 

 
1. Bills. Not a knock on KC but Bills are healthy and rolling. Better D and more consistent, deeper weapons. 

2. Rams. Tampa full strength is too much for most but they’re not healthy. 

3. Cincy. I’m rooting for them, love the offense weapons but that Tennessee pass rush vs Cincy oline might be ugly.

good luck SF. But that carriage is pumpkin soon.

There seems to be a built-in assumption that Henry will come back at full strength. Didn't he have a Jones fracture? My observation has been that guys who come back from that are almost always hobbled until they get the surgery. (Then again, before last night I would have told you there was no way a RB could come back from an Achilles tear 5 months ago and look as good as Cam Akers did.)

I believe there have been two times (2015 and 2018 seasons) in the past decade when the favorites won every game in the divisional round. (In 2015, both No. 1 seeds won the following week and advanced to the Super Bowl. In 2018, both No. 2 seeds won). Before that, it hadn't happened since 2004.

 
Incredible set of matchups this weekend, I hope they are all tight games. I could see all underdogs winning but if left to choose one I would go with the Bills. I just don’t think it is possible to defend Allen when he is throwing accurately (with the threat to take off) and he looked like a man possessed last week. He will do whatever is necessary to leave KC with a victory.

135 votes so far, with LAR holding a lead over Buffalo & Cincinnati. Still only one vote for a chalk sweep.
