Overall Playoff Record: 7-3
Green Bay Packers over Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
An Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady playoff battle has been a wish of most football fans/pundits for at least the past decade and it's finally coming to fruition at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Both men should be playing with a chip on their shoulder as Rodgers seeks to kill the narrative that he's an underachiever and Brady wants to prove he can win a championship at an advanced age without Bill Belichick by his side. Ultimately, I think Tampa's vastly inferior secondary, the Packers desire to avenge a bizarre, embarrassing blowout loss the Bucs handed them back in October and the sheer confidence Green Bay's #12 is playing with right now will swing the pendulum in this legendary QB dual towards Rodgers' team.
Kansas City Chiefs over Buffalo Bills:
I've been flip-flopping on this game all week long, but with Patrick Mahomes being officially cleared from concussion protocol earlier today, I'm going to roll with the Chiefs. Playing run-heavy teams has greatly helped the Bills in their prior 2 games and given that the Chiefs are a pass-dominant team who have the versatile weapons to attack defenses in any way imaginable, their struggles to cover the short-to-intermediate passing game and in the slot should finally be exposed for 4 quarters, which would put them in a bad spot to end up on the right side of a possible shootout.
