Saturday, Jan. 13 | 4:30 p.m. ET | NBC
The Texans beat the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night to clinch their postseason berth. Then, thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ loss on Sunday, the Texans clinched the AFC South and earned a home playoff game. They’ll host the Browns, who fell to the Cincinnati Bengals to close out their season.
No. 6 Miami Dolphins at No. 3 Kansas City Chiefs
Line: Chiefs -3.5, Total 43.5
Saturday, Jan. 13 | 8:00 p.m. ET | Peacock
Tyreek Hill is going to get a second chance at beating his former team, and this time, he gets to do it in Kansas City. These two teams did meet back in Week 9 in a game that Kansas City won 21-14, but that game was played in Germany. The temperature in Kansas City is expected to be below 12 degrees on Saturday night.
No. 7 Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 2 Buffalo Bills
Line: Bills -9.5, Total 39.5 - Bet Bills
Sunday, Jan. 14 | 1 p.m. ET | CBS
Week 18 Win clinched the AFC East for the Bills, who had long seemed out of the division. This game will be played in Buffalo, where the Bills have been nearly unbeatable this year, going 7-1. Josh Allen has faced the Steelers four times in his career and he's gone 3-1 in those games. The Sunday forecast in Buffalo is calling for sub-freezing temperatures with possible snow.
No. 7 Green Bay Packers at No. 2 Dallas Cowboys
Line: Cowboys -7, Total 49 - Bet Over
Sunday, Jan. 14 | 4:30 p.m. ET | FOX
This will be a revenge game for Mike McCarthy. This will mark just the second time that the Cowboys coach has faced the Packers since being fired by them in December 2018. McCarthy lost the first meeting in 2022 and will be looking to get his first win over Green Bay.
No. 6 Los Angeles Rams at No. 3 Detroit Lions
Line: Lions -3, Total 51.5 - Bet Lions and over
Sunday, Jan. 14 | 8:15 pm. ET | NBC
For their first home playoff game in 30 years, the Lions will be welcoming an old friend back to Detroit: Matthew Stafford. The Rams QB led the Lions to the playoffs three times, but never got to play a home game. This will also be a huge game for Jared Goff, who will be facing a team and a head coach that traded him away because they didn't want him anymore.
If the Lions can pull off the win, it’ll be their first postseason victory since the 1991 season.
No. 5 Philadelphia Eagles at No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Line: Eagles -2.5 0r -3 Total 44.5 - Bet Buccaneers
Monday, Jan. 15 | 8:15 p.m. ET | ABC/ESPN
The Eagles will head to Tampa Bay knowing that they beat the Buccaneers 25-11 at Raymond James Stadium back in Week 3.
The Buccaneers clinched the NFC South for the third straight season on Sunday afternoon with their 9-0 win over the Carolina Panthers. They’ll host the Eagles, who let their lead in the NFC East slip away in December and were blown out by the New York Giants on Sunday.
