The best weekend on the sports calendar is upon us! The NFL’s divisional round never fails to deliver, and even if we get three meh games early on — there are some large point spreads, that’s for sure — we always have the Chiefs-Bills Sunday nightcap (on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ if you didn’t know, and if you did go ahead and tell someone) to salvage the weekend with an epic playoff battle between two conference rivals.
