NFL Playoffs Divisional Round Matchups – TV Schedule and Announcer Pairings

Wild Card Weekend of the NFL Playoffs has ended, and now its time for the final eight teams to square off in the Divisional Round.

Unfortunately, the two teams that I was rooting for in the AFC, the Dolphins and Colts, both fell short. However, both Baltimore and San Diego are exciting teams who should provide solid matchups to the top seeds, Pittsburgh and Tennessee.

In the NFC, the Eagles win over the Vikings sets up the marquee matchup of the Divisional Round when Philadelphia travels to NFC East division rival and #1 seed New York. If you can only watch one game this weekend, I would think that would be the one you would watch.

Well, as we always do here at Midwest Sports Fans, we get you ready for the matchups of this upcoming weekend’s action with the TV Schedule, announcer lineups, point spreads, and over-under odds for the Divisional Round games.

As usual, the point spreads are provided by BetUs.com. And my projections for the announcer lineups were correct, as confirmed by Awful Announcing.
