Sunday's Divisional Round is the stuff football dreams are made of. Rams at Buccaneers. Bills at Chiefs. The winners move on to their respective conference championship games. The losers begin the offseason. It really doesn't get much better than this.
Beller and KC break down those two marquee games from all betting angles on this episode of Best on the Board. Can the Rams pull off the mini-upset, or, at the very least, stay within three points? Is Bills-Chiefs destined to live up to the high-scoring expectations? Will the winner be favored in the AFC Championship, regardless of opponent?
Then, C.J. Moore joins Beller to take a look ahead to a loaded weekend in the college basketball world. It all starts with Wisconsin and Michigan State getting together on Friday in Madison. The guys also discuss Kentucky-Auburn, LSU-Tennessee and Xavier-Marquette.
