This may be the best weekend of football on the calendar, and this year’s slate of divisional round of games is not expected to disappoint.
Pigskin fans will be spoiled once again this weekend with games on both Saturday and Sunday as the league’s remaining eight square off across the country.
On Saturday, the Ravens and Broncos kick things off in a matchup between two future Hall of Famers before giving way to a Packers-49ers grudge match in San Francisco. Sunday holds a Seahawks-Falcons throwdown as an appetizer for Patriots-Texans in the late game.
NESN.com’s Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle are back again to make their picks, and they’re expecting another competitive week of games. Check out their picks below and hear them break it all down in the podcast at the bottom of the page.
