The divisional round could be fascinating because all four games could either be blowouts for the favorite, or upsets by the underdogs. A bunch of five and six seeds in the conference championships would be wild.

Point spreads were provided by Bet MGM. (HOME TEAM in all caps).

SAN FRANCISCO (-7) vs. Minnesota

There’s a chance the Vikings are in the midst of a historic playoff run. There’s also a chance the 49ers are a buzzsaw coming off their bye week. The latter seems more probable than the former, but matchups make fights and the Vikings present a tough matchup for San Francisco.

Pick: Vikings (+7)

BALTIMORE (-10) vs. Tennessee

The Titans have quietly put together a really impressive season since Ryan Tannehill took over the starting quarterback job. Their run probably ends in Baltimore, but this old-school AFC North rivalry should be a brawl. Baltimore is the better team, but 10 points feels like a lot.

Pick: Titans (+10)

KANSAS CITY (-9.5) vs. Houston

Patrick Mahomes is the Michael Jordan of Josh Allens.

Pick: Chiefs (-9.5)

GREEN BAY (-4) vs. Seattle

The most fun possible game here is the typical Seahawks craziness in multiple feet of snow. This is a sneaky candidate for game-of-the-weekend.

Pick: Packers (-4)
