Chicago sports radio & TV legend David Kaplan has joined Sportsbook Review and was 1-3-1 on his football picks last week. Here are Uncle Kappy's Divisional Round picks.
OK, we are down to the final 8 teams in the NFL playoffs and there are some really interesting matchups to analyze in the Divisional Round.The Eagles survived the Bears in Chicago last Sunday when Cody Parkey hit the upright and crossbar on a late 43-yard field-goal attempt that would have given the Bears an 18-16 win. Nick Foles threw a TD in the final minute, and now the big question is: Can the Eagles and their backup QB make another magical run to a second consecutive Super Bowl?The Colts are smoking hot, and after dominating the Texans in Houston many people are picking Indy to spring the big upset of the AFC's top-seeded Chiefs. But after a tremendous regular season, the pressure is squarely on Kansas City head coach Andy Reid to deliver, especially at home where his club blew a 21-3 halftime lead a year ago in a playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs have lost their past six home postseason games.
