Will the Chicago Bears beat the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL playoffs? NFL postseason predictions, picks, win probabilities for the divisional round.

Overview

  • Buffalo visits Denver on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET, with the top-seeded Broncos rested and boasting 68 sacks plus top-two marks in opponent completion rate and yards per attempt.
  • Josh Allen was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday despite foot, knee and right finger listings on the Bills’ report.
  • Seattle, the NFC’s No. 1 seed, hosts San Francisco on Saturday night as a FanDuel -6.5 favorite, backed by a defense that ranked No. 1 in points allowed, rush yards per carry allowed and third-down rate.
  • The 49ers lost tight end George Kittle for the season to a torn Achilles; linebacker Fred Warner’s practice window opened and he was limited, with Kyle Shanahan signaling this week’s return is unlikely.
  • New England hosts Houston on Sunday and is reportedly adding DE Darrell Taylor to the practice squad with a strong chance of elevation, while CB Christian Gonzalez practiced on a limited basis and Texans WR Nico Collins remains in the concussion protocol.
