Playoffs require a higher level of performance. We did not provide it.
Last week, Sims and I went 3-3 in head-to-head picks. He had a 3-3 record against the spread. I was 2-4.
I still hold a one-game lead in a row. I am 192-86. It is 191-87.
For the difference, I’m now 151-121-6 and he’s 140-132-6.
We don’t disagree on any of the outright divisional winners. In contrast to diffusion, we disagree on only one outcome.
The full list of our departmental selections appears below.
Texans at Chiefs (-8.5)
Houston kept it close in Week 16. It might keep it close again. But the leaders are too close to history to falter now.
Florio: Chiefs, 30-20.
Sims: Chiefs, 27-17.
Leaders in Black (-9.5)
If the leaders keep it close, they can win. Chris doesn’t think they’ll keep him around; I do. Ultimately, we both see Detroit moving forward.
Florio: Black, 24-27.
Sims: Black, 34-21.
Rams and Eagles (-6)
The Eagles’ offense looked sluggish last week. This week, they should ride Saquon Barkley, especially since he tore through Los Angeles’ defense for 255 yards during the regular season.
Florio: Eagles, 27-20.
Sims: Eagles, 37-17.
Ravens (-1.5) at Bills
Can Buffalo’s offense keep up with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry? Yes, but we like crows nearby.
Florio: Crows, 31-28.
Sims: Crows, 30-28.
