The top seeds held serve on the AFC side of the 2024 NFL playoff bracket. The Dallas Cowboys prevented the same from happening in the NFC.
Dallas was the lone home team to lose in the wild card round, even if Mike McCarthy’s team wasn’t the only betting favorite to fall. The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns joined the Cowboys en route to a frustrating, early offseason despite grand Super Bowl 58 plans, setting up this week’s four divisional round showdowns.
It’s a slate our expert panel sees as pretty chalky. Our four analysts only have one upset in the bunch — and it’s for the team that comes into the quarterfinals as the weekend’s biggest underdog. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers looked good enough to make a run to the NFC title game while dispatching Dallas, but now they have to deal with an opponent that doesn’t vomit down its own shirt when confronted with a playoff game each January.
Well, let’s take a look at our divisional round picks. Analysis follows.
