The KC Chiefs host the Browns this weekend and there are three other divisional round games taking place. To get everyone pumped for the divisional round weekend, three members of KC Kingdom have predicted how they think the games will go down.

Last week, Cullen and I both went 4-2 while Cody went 2-4. Everyone incorrectly picked the Steelers to beat Cleveland (a lot of people made that mistake) while Cullen accurately had the Rams upsetting Seattle and Cody and I pegged the Ravens beating the Titans.

How will the staff do this week?

Rams at Packers (Saturday 3:35 CST)

  • Cody Rickman – The return of Jared Goff and Andrew Whitworth keep the Packers from stacking the box against the run. Packers 20, Rams 24
  • Cullen Jekel – Aaron Rodgers’ play is incredible right now, and while the Rams front-seven should disrupt him, it won’t be nearly enough to win. Packers 34, Rams 24
  • Leigh Oleszczak – The Packers will face a tough defense in the Rams, but Aaron Rodgers is playing at an MVP level and will get his team to their second straight NFC Championship game. Packers 31, Rams 17

Ravens at Bills (Saturday 7:15 CST)

  • Cody -Ravens should blanket Stefon Diggs and force Josh Allen to use his legs more often which could lead to more turnover opportunities for the Ravens.  Bills 21, Ravens 23
  • Cullen – Buffalo’s defense does just enough to limit big plays by Lamar Jackson while Josh Allen leads a game-winning drive with time winding down in the fourth. Bills 27, Ravens 23
  • Leigh – The Ravens finally proved they can win a playoff game with Lamar Jackson as their quarterback, but the fun stops in Buffalo. Bills 24, Ravens 17

Browns at Chiefs (Sunday 2:05 CST)

  • Cody – Mahomes magic gets the Chiefs the win, because how do you defend that tight end and those receivers all game long? Chiefs 31, Browns 24
  • Cullen – Cleveland sticks around in this one thanks to its strong running back tandem, but Mahomes comes out fresh, tossing four touchdown passes. Chiefs 31, Browns 26
  • Leigh – This won’t be the cakewalk that KC Chiefs fans think it will be, but they advance to their third straight AFC Championship game. Chiefs 30, Browns 24

Buccaneers at Saints (Sunday 5:40)

  • Cody – The Saints’ outstanding defense and ability to run the ball effectively against stout defensive fronts push them over-the-top. Saints 34, Bucs 24
  • Cullen – A relatively low-scoring game considering the quarterbacks in this match-up. Drew Brees improves to 6-2 in his career over Tom Brady. Saints 24, Bucs 20
  • Leigh – It’s not easy beating the same team three times and with how red hot the Bucs are, they manage to get past the Saints on their third try. Saints 20, Bucs 27
