Back in the 2019 season the idea of the AFC final 4 of Baltimore, Buffalo, Houston, & K.C. was very credible since Jackson, Allen, Watson, Mahomes were considered to be up and coming elite level QB's. 4 seasons later it finally shakes out this way except that Houston is now lead by a different QB who might be better, and I'll say Ryans is a better coach than BOB. I do think the AFC teams have the better QB's, but a healthy San Francisco team still has the best roster beside QB.

Anyways here's my predictions

Houston +9.5 and under 43.5 points. Baltimore wins the game 24-17 and finally get to the AFC Title game with Lamar. But the Texans play them tough in this one.

San Francisco -9.5 and over 50.5. 49'ers take this 34 to 21 as they are able to start with a good game plan against a suspect Packers defence. Shanahan has beat up on LaFleur in the playoffs and continues to do so.

Tampa Bay +6.5 and under 49. I'll go Bucs in an upset here, 21-17. Philly did no show on Mondsy, but that Bucs defence looked a lot like the one that destroyed the Chiefs in the Superbowl. Detroit has a strong offensive line, but so does Philly and the Bucs man handled them. Lions had that big emotional win last week, but this Bucs team still has a lot of playoff experience.

Buffalo -2.5 and over 45.5. I can't ever pick the Chiefs to win...should be a close game as they usually are. I'll say 26-23 for the Bill's as the Chiefs red zone woes result in too many field goals. The thing to watch is the Bill's injury report. Not sure if Gabe Davis will play, he's been a Chirf killer. Both Bill's starting corners are banged up pretty good but should play. If they go out early though, I don't know if K.C has a second WR beside Rice to take advantage of that. I think the key will be that Bill's offensive line beating up on the Chiefs and running the ball.

Hopefully we see some better games this weekend.
