The best week of actual football is here. The NFL divisional round, while not as lengthy as the wild-card round, typically features the best four games we get of the season. And I don't expect this week to be any different.
The Baltimore Ravens suffered yet another heartbreaking playoff loss, this time at the hands of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Despite out-gaining the Bills
The Bills advanced to the AFC championship game next Sunday against the conference’s top seed, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes has taken the ride multiple times. Someone else deserves a chance. Allen and Jackson entered the league at the same time, but it feels like he should be behind Allen in line because Allen has suffered more severe heartbreak along the way.
The fourth and final matchup of the Divisional Round is perhaps the most highly-anticipated of them all. MVP front-runners Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are put to the test under the bright lights and go head-to-head for a spot in the AFC Championship.
Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills or Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens — will move on to next weekend's AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It would give the winning superstar QB a shot at a first Super Bowl.

Henry put together his best performance against the Bills in his career, posting a season-high 199 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, and a receiving score. On the very first offensive play of the game for the Ravens, Henry ripped off an 87-yard touchdown, sending MT&T Bank Stadium into jubilation.
If the Mona Lisa were a DFS lineup, it would resemble this one. I felt like Thanos as he assembled the six infinity stones the way the pieces fit together as I disseminated my remaining salary. A lineup with Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley featured at the same time?
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are favorites in this year's NFL MVP race. Now, on Sunday, they'll face off for a lot more than an individual accolade as the Buffalo Bills play host to the Baltimore Ravens in a fight to reach the AFC championship.
The Buffalo Bills must contain Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry if they are to advance to the AFC Championship game.
