NFL playoff bracket: Conference championship schedule and odds for this weekend
The past weekend's four NFL divisional playoff games offered an interesting mix of contrasts (Saturday) and similarities (Sunday).
Play began outdoors Saturday in Kansas City's 20-degree weather with the Chiefs and Texans – two teams who managed just over three touchdowns a game in the regular season. The Chiefs scored their regular-season average, winning 23-14. Hours later, the Lions and Commanders – two of the top three offenses in the NFC – didn't disappoint under Ford Field's dome. The Commanders upset the Lions 45-31.
On Sunday, the Northeast's winter was front and center at both games. Snow coved the field in Philadelphia during the Rams-Eagles game while Buffalo's evening temperatures hovered in the high teens. Even so, oddsmakers predicted the Raven-Bills game could be the closest of the weekend. And, in the end, just a two-point difference sent the Bills to AFC championship with the Chiefs.
