Here are the divisional playoff games, times, dates, seeds and TV coverage schedule.
(4) Houston Texans at (1) Kansas City Chiefs
Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN/ESPN+
(6) Washington Commanders at (1) Detroit Lions
Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, Fox
(4) Los Angeles Rams at (2) Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock
(3) Baltimore Ravens at (2) Buffalo Bills
Sunday, 6:30 p.m. ET, CBS/Paramount+
My picks
Chiefs
Kansas City hasn't been lighting up the scoreboard the way they have in seasons past. It seems they have been running a more ball control style of offense. A lot of their games have been decided by very small margins. But great teams always find a way to win and thus far nothing has convinced me this game will be any different.
Lions
Washington is a young team that has certainly improved by leaps and bounds. But I don't think they're ready to take on a powerhouse like the Lions.
Eagles
The Rams were running on all cylinders playing the Vikings. But the Eagles aren't the vikings.
Ravens
This was the hardest pick for me to make this week. I'll certainly be rooting for Buffalo but in this match up I just feel the Ravens have the edge.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Chiefs, Bills, Rams and my upset special Commanders. I like Detroit and would like to see them win but historically they’ve had trouble with Washington 16-31 lifetime and until they win something they’re still Detroit. Even if Detroit wins I think it will be a close tough game.

I'm hoping all the games will be close. It makes for much better viewing. While the wildcard games weren't close for the most part there were enough upsets that made it entertaining for me.

Chiefs vs Bills
Lions vs Eagles
should be a good championship round
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Texans vs Ravens
Commanders vs Eagles
Ravens vs Eagles
Ravens
Texans caught fire at the right time and Chiefs are coming off a lot of time off. Of course, Chris Jones could be a potential game wrecker. Plus, they have Mahomes, but the OL isn't great. Kelce is slowing down. Wishful thinking is quite possibly involved. ...Almost definitely.
I think the Commanders defensive interior could cause problems for Goff. The Lions defense has faced a ton of attrition. Of course, Gibbs could go off.
Rams at Eagles should be interesting. I think the Eagles' OL will do a lot better than the Vikings' OL did. I think McVay is the better coach, but the Eagles have a ton of experienced talent almost everywhere.
QBs are a toss up in Bills-Ravens. I think Lamar has a better supporting cast.
Ultimately, I think it just comes down to depth of talent, and ultimately Lamar trumps Hurts.

Could you be a little more specific in who you actually predict are going to win those games other than the Ravens?

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
