Welcome to the divisional round Power Rankings I’m Brandon Perna today we’re going to rank the top eight teams heading into this weekend if you don’t know every Power Ranking show if you’re new here I spin this curse wheel to see which team it curses this guy was on a

Tear but lately his curses have been wrong I spun it the opposite direction last week so maybe it blessed the Packers regardless I’ll spin it at the EP into the episode to see which team it curses and we added the refs I fig we should put the refs into the mix see if

We can Cur the refs but let’s start at number nine not ass congrats Rams you’re the only team who lost on Wild Card Weekend that didn’t end up looking like complete ass now a big reason for that is Shawn McVey and Les sne executed one of the most Fair trades in NFL history

Winning a Super Bowl with the quarterback you traded for only to lose to the QB you traded away in the playoffs Even Stevens immediately the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2021 and there’s no doubt out that Stafford is the Catalyst for that jump the Lions

Start to rise while the Rams fall off and then in 2023 they meet in the middle and have a close game that illustrates just how two-sided that trade was from now on I think every trade should have to go through Shawn McVey so he can sign

Off on its fairness with either a yeah bro or a nude if Denver had to run the Russell Wilson trade through Shawn McVey and hisil we would have ended up getting two first round picks from Seattle number eight I’ve got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now Baker Mayfield was only slated to make

Four mil this year he made 250,000 in incentives when he threw three touchdown passes to beat the Eagles on Monday night if he goes into Detroit and upsets the Lions he’ll earn another 250k and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did that even as Sixpoint Road

Underdogs just remember Baker need needs that money as we learned in the off season that his dad essentially lost 12 million as he was in charge of investing it or some [ __ ] the only greater motivation than money is sex and Baker is now financially motivated to beat

Golf one of the big things that stuck out though from the Buccaneers home win over Philly was Todd bulls and his ability to trust his young guys two of his youngest and most inexperienced Defenders undrafted rookie Christian aine and second year Zion McCullum got more snaps than experienced players like

Ryan Neil and Kavon Maryweather and it paid off against Philly of course this time they’re going to have to face a team who does have its number one receiver available in a manra I’m not going to do it right now St Brown a quarterback who’s not banged

Up and an opposing defense that actually knows how to tackle of course there’s a challenge uh they’re facing that no one was prepared for the Buccaneers will be the first team to play outdoors in Detroit since 1974 special plans to acclimate the team to not only uh endure but perform in

Those kind of frigid temperatures should you face them in Detroit you do know we play indoors right they got a dome I don’t um no nothing number seven the Packers now the Packers feel like the team nobody wants to play right now Jordan love was my in my opin ion a

Little bit better than even rookie CJ strad last week Aaron Jones is better than the Texans rushing attack and the Packers receivers are healthier than the Texans wide outs so why on Earth do I have Green Bay behind the Texans here in the power rankings actually I don’t I just

Convinced myself to swap them number seven the Texans the Texans and Ravens actually played week one and Baltimore handled business 25 to9 both teams have come a long way since that game and if you recall CJ strad made some nice throws but he was sacked five times he

Was sacked six times the following week against the Colts we were all worried he wouldn’t survive the season he then went three straight games without getting sacked and Cleveland got to him zero times in Houston’s big playoff win Texans oine versus Ravens Stout dline that’s the biggest matchup in this game

One of the more under the radar players though this season has been Texans veteran Corner Desmond King a guy we haven’t talked about much since well since his All Pro honors back in 2018 really he had 12 tackles on Saturday more than any other player all weekend

In addition to spinning on Joe Flaco’s head King was with the Texans in 2021 and 2022 but started this season with the Steelers before they released him a few games into the season and he signed back with the Texans hilarious because he led wildcard week in tackles and the

Steelers trailed only the Eagles and Miss tackles might have wanted to keep him it helps that Derek Stingley is playing like a top 10 maybe top five Corner as well this year Stingley is tied with the 49ers charvarius Ward and the bills rul Douglas with five picks on

The season that’s a three-way tie for uh most of any players remaining in the postseason good for second most all together this season now Nico Collins will need to dominate for Houston to win they lost Noah Brown to injury which means Collins needs to be unguardable

Against one of the best defenses in the NFL or John mie and brev Jordan need to step up for the now dwindling Texans ball catching core number six for real this time the Packers initially I had the Texans ahead because I need one more game to believe the Packers defense is

Good the 49ers will have a much better attack plan against Joe Barry’s crew that matchup scares the [ __ ] out of me if I am a Packers fan and when I say SC scares the [ __ ] out of me what I mean is no amount of cheese consumption could keep that [ __ ] compacted and constipated

Within my body in terms of the fear I have of that chess match Kyle Shanahan is the Queen’s Gambit and Joe Barry well he’s playing D Jenga here’s the caveat though Christian mcaffrey strained his calf a few weeks ago Joe burrow put calf injuries on the map this season and even

Though run CMC was a full go at practice ice this week after ample rest that’s an injury that’s tricky and can flare up easily opposite CMC though you got Aaron Jones 49ers unfortunately for the Packers have the third best run defense this season and if they slow down Aaron

Jones Green Bay has an uphill battle why does everything always come down to an errand for the Packers today’s episode is sponsored by Underdog fantasy check it out Underdog has a Lamar Jackson special this week in the pickham games he’s got a half yard gimme if you enter a pickham contest

Since Joe Flo had more than a half yard against the Texans defense this feels like a safe move pick them games or variations of the pick them games are now available in all of the states you see here a couple new states have been added so look at that map carefully like

You’re trying to pass a geography test I’ve also created a couple private drafts linked below these are small three to four person drafts so you have a good chance at winning ranging from10 to $25 to $100 drafts the drafts start as soon as the league fills up so pay

Attention to that sign up at Underdog with my link below or my code that’s good make your first deposit and they’re going to match that up to $100 code that’s good at Underdog number five it’s the Kansas City Chiefs the big question surrounding the Chiefs is pretty simple were they

Playing posum all year saving all all their juice for the playoffs or were the Dolphins in the freezing cold the easiest matchup they could have possibly faced not to give a copout answer but I think uh both might be true the Chiefs had no problem against Miami in frigid

Conditions and now they have to travel to Buffalo and they’ll face the Rival bills in frigid conditions what I love about this matchup is both teams are coming off disgustingly cold games where they punch their opponent Square in the mouth and the winner of this game will

Walk out having Leo and as you’ve probably heard this is the first road playoff game of Patrick Mahomes career which is technically true but not really true because Super Bowl 55 against the Buccaneers was of course played in Tampa Bay and that didn’t go too well if my

Memory serves me correctly is that the game where momes had the best incompletion ever I don’t have any doubt in my mind that this will be a one-score game their last three matchups were exactly that a six Point difference in the famous 13 seconds game a four-point

Buffalo win in 2022 and earlier this season a three-point win for Buffalo after cadarius Tony was correctly called off sides before the biggest play of the game the bills held Naji Harris uh and Jaylen Warren to 75 rushing yards so the challenge is for the Chiefs if the bills

Can slow down running with the seizure Isaiah Pacho and limit Ri Rice then it’s going to be a Travis Kelce game he’s going going to need to have the biggest game of the year for Kansas City to get the win number four the Lions uh the Buccaneers despite finishing the season

Just nine and8 had a winning record on the road now we can obviously point to the fact that these two teams played all the way back in October a game in Tampa that the Lions won 20 to6 while G played lights out Baker had one of his worst

Games of the season and neither team could run the ball against each other Rashad white was the leading rusher for both teams and he had uh seven carries for 26 yards I think the Lions are Going to make sure very early like they did against the Rams that they have more

Than 40 yards on the ground this time around you have the number one rushing offense in the Lions going up against a team that finished top five in rushing yards allowed once again something’s got to give Aiden Hutchinson had two sacks last week he’s the only remaining player

Who had two sacks in the Wild Card round I look for him to get two in this game as well and after seeing Lions lineman Taylor Decker just dunk and I mean dunk on scooter on Twitter and then learning Jared gof might be a good 2 feet taller

Than Baker Mayfield give me the Lions by a Million number three it’s the bills all season long we asked when is Josh Allen going to stop turning the ball over when’s he going to play smarter guess what [ __ ] heads and [ __ ] fingers and [ __ ] elbows he was simply waiting

For the playoffs no turnovers four total touchdowns downs and he’s going to give the bills a real chance against one of the best defenses in the NFL fact he’s going to make them look [ __ ] stupid like I’ve said a thousand times before any team that can stop Mason Rudolph can

Stop Patrick Mahomes and buffalo just did that one of the most important players on the chief’s roster is corner lerus sne he put the clamps on Tyreek Hill at the line of scrimmage and has been a dog all year long really I’d imagine spags has Sneed lineup at the

Line of scrimmage and assault Stefan Diggs all game which is why the bills better hope Gabe Davis is ready to go and return from injury and stretch that field Diggs hasn’t really had a huge game in months so that’s not a problem for the bills tight ends Dawson Knox and

Dalton Kincade scored the first two touchdowns last weekend and I hope they outshine Travis Kelce so brightly that Kelsey gets [ __ ] sunburned the bad injury news is that Bill’s linebacker Terrell Bernard at the very least has an ankle sprain the good news is that’s much better than what we initially

Thought when he was carded off the field against the Steelers he needs to play in this game and what he’s done through the course of the season after Matt Milano went down is spectacular he was straight balling against the Steelers and I want to watch him break up some passes going

To Kelce and stuff Pacho at the line of scrimmage the other good news rul Douglas should return as well he uh said he could have played against the Steelers they rested him and I’m betting my life he has a key interception in the second half of this game most

Importantly the bills have found a way to break their curse someone fell into the pit outside of their stadium that pit is where the new stadium is being built the bills won that week and since then some person has offered themselves as sacrificed and jumped into the pit Bill’s Mafia has smartly been

Sacrificing themselves sense that moment and as long as they feed the pit buffal all the way this time number two the 49ers getting the one seed is a really good thing don’t get me wrong you want that by week but there has to be something kind of scary

About watching a red hot Packers team that’s so much better than the record go into Dallas and throttle the Cowboys meanwhile the 49ers haven’t played meaningful football since 2023 and they haven’t been tested since Christmas night when they lost handily to the number one team on today’s

List but I don’t think that rust will last for more than say a quarter uh if it’s there at all all I’m saying is that the 49ers are 10-point favorites and that feels a little high given everything we’ve learned about Green Bay over the last month the last good team the 49ers

Bested was really the Buccaneers on November 19th this is also a great opportunity for the 49ers to show what they could have done last year if they hadn’t lost Brock pie in the championship game and I honestly think that this Packers team might be the toughest competition left in the conference especially considering

Lfl and Shanahan know each other so well number one yeah it’s the Raven still as good as John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson have been together the elephant in the room is that they’ve only won one playoff game together and four tries does that matter Saturday probably not

Because this is a healthier and a better team than the ra Ravens had in 2020 the last time Lamar Jackson started a playoff game and like the Texans they’re also a better team than they were back in week one when they beat Houston the most important player for the Ravens

Might not even play I’m talking about Mark Andrews who returned to practice last week and then apparently took a big step towards playing this week at practice here’s my hot take though if he’s not absolutely 100% don’t play him I think the Ravens might be better with

Isaiah likeley right now who’s had five touchdowns in their last five games likele is playing better than Andrews was this season don’t get me wrong having both of them makes Baltimore scary but not if Mark Andrews is less than 100% And if he’s taking away opportunities from likely likely

I’m going to spin this wheel likely all right let’s see who this wheel curses the numbers have been reordered everything is different about this curse wheel except for the fact that I got to hold it up because it can’t stand on its own stick who do we curse Mr curse

Wheel oh we almost got those refs we almost got those son of a [ __ ] refs number eight oh not Baker Mayfield and the upstart Buccaneers wear a diaper Go Lions go bills thanks for watching Power Rankings Please Subscribe here on YouTube if you made it this far
