Weekend NFL Picks: What's Best for New England?
The NFL playoffs are heating up, and the Patriots are still in the mix. They're set to face the Texans at home this Sunday, aiming to make it past the divisional round for the first time in years. But what about the other games?
Bills vs. Broncos: A Strategic Dilemma
Let's talk about the Bills vs. Broncos matchup. It might seem odd to cheer for a division rival, but hear us out. If the Bills win, they'd likely face the Patriots in the AFC Championship. And many fans would prefer to host that game in Foxborough rather than travel to Denver. Plus, the Bills' quarterback has shown he can perform well under pressure. Still, it's not a straightforward choice.
49ers vs. Seahawks: A Draft Pick Stakes
Now, let's switch gears to the 49ers vs. Seahawks game. The Patriots have a stake in this one too. They own the 49ers' draft pick, so an early exit for San Francisco could mean a better pick for New England.
Rams vs. Bears: Another Draft Pick Connection
Lastly, there's the Rams vs. Bears game. The Patriots also have a draft pick tied to the Bears' performance. So, if you're a Patriots fan, you might want to cheer for the Rams to help secure a better pick in the future.
The Unpredictable Nature of the NFL
But remember, the NFL is full of surprises. Anything can happen, and every game is a chance to see some incredible football. So, grab some snacks, sit back, and enjoy the show.
