2016 NFL Playoffs Bracket, Schedule: Here are the 4 divisional matchups

The four divisional round matchups are set and we have them in handy bracket form.

 

Saturday, January 16

 

Chiefs at Patriots (-5), 4:35 p.m. ET (CBS) -- The Chiefs throttled the Texans 30-0 during the wild-card round and now get one of the hardest draws you can land in football, facing the Patriots off a bye in Gillette.

 

Packers at Cardinals (-6.5), 8:15 p.m. ET (NBC) -- When the Seahawks won they secured a spot in Carolina due to their status as the lower seed. Green Bay gets to run back the Week 16 bloodbath in Arizona where Aaron Rodgers was sacked eight times.

 

Sunday January 17

 

Seahawks at Panthers (-2.5), 1:05 p.m. ET (FOX) -- The Seahawks knocked the Panthers out of the playoffs last year and now Carolina gets a shot at revenge with Seattle playing at 10 a.m. PT for the second-straight week.

 

Steelers at Broncos (-5.5), 4:40 p.m. ET (CBS) -- The Broncos are heavy favorites early with Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) and Antonio Brown (concussion) both dealing with injury. Peyton Manning might get a shot at a playoff run after all.

Patriots* are going to the Super Bowl and will probably win.

 

They would lose to either of Carolina, Arizona, or Seattle if they get could get beyond the AFC Championship Game which I doubt.

I celebrated like a heathen during that MNF game last season where the Chiefs destroyed them and Brady got benched.

 

Then the rest of the season happened.

 

I suggest everyone watch Julian Edelman highlights on YouTube to desensitize themselves

Your proposal is acceptable.

 

I just can't see the Chiefs beating NE*

I'm expecting the pats* to win, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Chiefs won. the Chiefs are one of the hottest teams in football right now and the pats have lost 4 of the last 6, including 2 in a row to close the regular season. Brady has been taking a pounding over the last half of the season and if the Chiefs can continue that trend early in the game I like their chances.

Chiefs (I see them upsetting the SB Champs - Is Edleman playing and even if so, how well will he play)

Angry Birds (I don't think it will even be close)

Carolina (Closest to call with Seattle playing hot)

Denver (Big if is in Manning)

Over the past several seasons (5, I think) I've batted a perfect .500 for Game picks from Division Round through Conference Champions. So 2 of these will be correct:

 

Pats*

Cardinals

Seattle

Broncos

Pick the Chiefs if you want, but do not believe it in your heart.

 

That's what the Patriots* want. They want you to believe that they are going to get beat, so that it hurts you more when they win and Edelman is in everyone's faces talking crap.

 

LOL

Losing Maclin is going to really really hurt.
