The NFL playoffs have officially moved to the divisional round, and there are only eight teams left standing.
The AFC is filled with familiar faces, as the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills find themselves in similar positions that they’ve been in over the past few years.
Houston might be a surprise to some, but C.J. Stroud did lead the Texans to the playoffs last year and hopes to upset the Chiefs this weekend.
With only four teams remaining, analysts are working hard to put their top picks together, hoping to correctly predict how the next few weeks will go.
Rob Gronkowski talked about the upcoming games with Kay Adams on the “Up & Adams Show,” predicting who he believes will come out of the AFC.
“Lamar Jackson has to get over that hump… If this isn’t the year then I don’t think he’s ever gonna do it,” Gronkowski told Adams.

Gronkowski believes that the Ravens are going to upset the Chiefs in the AFC Championship, picking Lamar Jackson to propel his team to the Super Bowl.
This would not only bring Jackson to his first Super Bowl, but it would also help get the monkey off his back of people saying that he can’t win big games, especially in the playoffs.
Gronkowski also added that considering the team Jackson has around him, he has a fantastic chance of making a deep run, perhaps the best opportunity of his career to date.
He’ll have to get through the Bills first, a tough team for any opponent to take down.
