The Post\u2019s Dave Blezow makes his picks and predictions for Sunday\u2019s NFL divisional playoff games.<\/p>\n
SUNDAY\u00a0<\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (-6) over Los Angeles Rams; Under 44: Another game with lots to consider. Let\u2019s start with Saquon Barkley, who rushed for 255 yards \u2014 including two touchdowns of 70-plus yards \u2014 in the Eagles\u2019 37-20 victory over the Rams at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barkley likely won\u2019t hit that number again, but know there hasn\u2019t been much of a learning curve when it comes to stopping him. He had 109 yards vs. the Packers, then 119 in the second meeting. He rushed for 66 and then 167 vs. Dallas. And 146 then 150 vs. Washington. He faced the Giants only once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For all the success the Rams defense had against Darnold with nine sacks and a scoop-and-score, it\u2019ll be different at the Linc with all the attention that will need to be paid to Barkley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though McVay and Stafford are as good as it gets as a coach-quarterback tandem, at least on the far side of Reid-Mahomes, the Rams are in a brutal situational spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They played Monday night, had to travel home to L.A., then cross country to face a more-rested team. Also, the forecast of low 30s with rain or snow is not ideal for Stafford, who has played the majority of his games indoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eagles, 27-16.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BUFFALO BILLS (+1) over Baltimore Ravens; Under 51.5: It\u2019s easy to fixate on the first meeting, a 35-10 Ravens rout at the Inner Harbor in Week 4, and stop there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Derrick Henry ran for an 87-yard touchdown on the Ravens\u2019 first play from scrimmage, then caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson. He finished with 199 yards rushing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Similar to Barkley, familiarity is not the key to stopping Henry. Consider the Steelers faced him three times since mid-November, and Henry rushed for 65, then 162, then 186.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I believe the Ravens are the better team, top to bottom, at this stage of the season. But they\u2019re not unbeatable, and there\u2019s something psychological about taking a team that\u2019s undefeated in its building as a home underdog. Yes it\u2019s only one point, but it could be more than that motivationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josh Allen has done some magical things this season, including his touchdown pass\/catch\/dive in the snow to beat the Chiefs. If it\u2019s his time, it\u2019s his time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bills, 24-23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
