That's largely because I don't believe it'll be all that competitive. It is the biggest spread of the playoff slate with Buffalo sitting as a double-digit favorite, and it's routinely blown teams out at home, owning a 14.8 average margin of victory at Highmark Stadium (second-best in the NFL). won't be playing for the Steelers in this game due to an MCL sprain, and Pittsburgh is just 1-10 in the 11 games it's been without its star pa s rusher. Date:Monday, Jan. 15 |Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)TV:ABC/ESPN|Stream:fubo () Follow:CBS Sports AppOdds: Eagles -3, O/U 44I debated putting this game in the No. T.J. Leaf Jersey 6 slot, but I slotted it at No. 5 because we truly could have an upset in this game. The Eagles are a three-point road favorite but have looked lifele s down the stretch. The defending NFC champions limped to a 1-5 record over their final six games, which found them fall out of the No. 1 seed and first place in the NFC East. Meanwhile, the Bucs enjoyed an opposite finish, winning five of their last six. and should be able to torch this Philly secondary, which puts the Eagles squarely on upset alert.

I think some people might be sleeping on this matchup because of the poor play from both of these teams down the stretch. That said, I think you pay close attention to Kansas City. Yes, the wide receivers have been its demise all season long, but let me ask you this: what wins in the playoffs? A strong defense, ability to run the football effectively, and smart quarterback play. The Chiefs have all three in spades, making them a sleeping giant that could potentially reveal itself at the start of these playoffs. If not, the drum to add offensive weapons will only beat louder. Meanwhile, the storylines coming out of Miami in this game will be fascinating as well. Either it and continues to state his case to be among the elite QBs in the league, or he falters and the opposite questions are asked. Plenty of offseason narratives could springboard off of this game.Date:Sunday, Jan. 14 |Time:4:30 p.m. ETLocation:AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey Texas)TV: FOX |Stream:fubo () Follow:CBS Sports AppOdds: Cowboys -7.5, O/U 50.5The reason this game cracks the top three is . Sure, it's interesting that he's going up against his former Packers team, but he is a lightning rod for this game because of what his fate could be if Dallas loses. This would be the third time in as many seasons that the Cowboys would've gone 12-5 in the regular season -- only to have a disappointing showing in the playoffs. If that comes to fruition this weekend, , especially with candidates like Bill Belichick potentially on the market for Jerry Jones. On the other hand, the Cowboys could flex with a convincing win and put the rest of the league on notice that they're a legit contender. Date:Saturday, Jan. 13|Time:4:30 p.m. ETLocation:NRG Stadium (Houston)TV:NBC|Stream:fubo () Follow:CBS Sports AppOdds: Browns -2.5, O/U 44.5You might be surprised to find this game so high, but it's a matchup I am arguably looking forward to the most. Specifically, I want to see what can do under the playoff lights. Houston's rookie quarterback . The high-pre sure moments never seem too big for the Ohio State product, and he'll now be tested against the Joe Flacco-led Browns. Cleveland has a reputation for having a top-tier defense, but the unit averages nearly 30 points per game allowed to opposing offenses when it is on the road, which it will be Saturday. If those trends hold up, Stroud could be in line for a monster game and further boost his rsum as having .Date:Sunday, Jan. 14 |Time:8 p.m. ETLocation:Ford Field (Detroit)TV:NBC|Stream:fubo () Follow:CBS Sports AppOdds: Lions -3, O/U 51.5 This is going to be everyone's top game, and for good reason. The Detroit Lions have FINALLY found themselves hosting a playoff game and who is the visitor coming out of the opposing locker room? Matthew Stafford, the quarterback who led the Lions for a dozen years before being traded to the Rams in 2021. This will mark his first trip back to Ford Alize Johnson Jersey Field since the trade, creating an emotional and high-pre sure scene in the Motor City. Regardle s of who wins this game, it'll be worth the price of admi sion. Either Stafford rips the heart out of his former team, or gets sweet revenge over the Rams after deciding to deal him away in the Stafford trade. On top of the QB storylines, this could also be a high-scoring affair with this game owning the highest total on the slate.
