It just might be the best football weekend of the year, or at least of the playoffs.
The divisional round is always special because it provides four straight standalone games often without the outward mismatches of the wild-card slate, stretching both Saturday and Sunday. Then Monday comes the bonus of the College Football Playoff national championship.
Conference championships are great, but only two games can leave you wanting more. The betting options on the Super Bowl can’t be beaten, but it’s also a bittersweet time with the end of football season.
So, hail to the divisional round.
