NFL against the spread picks: Any more upsets coming?

Some people prefer the divisional round of the playoffs as the best weekend of the NFL calendar, and perhaps in all of sports.

It makes sense. We get eight fantastic teams, including the four top seeds, in a one-and-done setting. Some prefer Super Bowl Sunday, conference championship weekend or even the night of the first round of the NFL draft (I pick Week 1 of the regular season for peak NFL, and the first week of March Madness as the best on the sports calendar, but to each their own). But this is undeniably a special weekend in the football world.
