Liz Loza and Daniel Dopp break down the NFL divisional round and offer their favorite prop bets for the games.

Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen highlights NFL playoff slate: Who deserves MVP? This weekend's divisional round of the NFL playoffs features two quarterbacks in remarkably similar positions.

Divisional round weekend is arguably the best weekend of the NFL season. The wild-card blowouts are in the books, and now we get to figure out which teams are playing their best ball at the right time.
Lamar Jackson leads the Baltimore Ravens into Buffalo on Sunday night as road favorites against the Bills. Jackson threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 81 yards in Baltimore's 28-14 win over the Steelers last week.

All three outdoor playoff games will be played in freezing or near-freezing temperatures on divisional weekend, though it's fair to question whether that puts the Bills at a true advantage. The Ravens have experience playing in the cold as well, and they have no problem running the ball early and often to win games.
The best week of the NFL playoffs is here, as divisional round football will be played this weekend. Two teams have already punched their ticket to Championship Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs knocked off the Houston Texans and the Washington Commanders stunned the Detroit Lions.
