We’re less than two hours away from the start of the Divisional Round of the 2023-24 NFL playoffs. Ahead of Saturday’s two big games, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg if making his predictions.
Taking to X a short while ago, Greenberg picked the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Houston Texans. He believes that the Ravens defense is too good to fall prey to Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud the way the Cleveland Browns did last week.
“#KOD pick: #Ravens 33-20 The #Texans had an unbelievable year, QB on his way to superstardom, future as bright as any in the sport. But Baltimore is the end of the road. Defense too good, Lamar and company more diversified than playoffs past. Give the points,” Greenberg wrote.

For his second pick in the 49ers-Packers game, Greenberg is going with the 49ers. He believes that while Packers quarterback Jordan Love is a good pick next year, the 49ers are too good to lose.
“#KOD pick: #Niners 41-23 Moment won’t be too big for Jordan Love but his defense isn’t up to this. #Packers are a nice pick for next year’s Super Bowl, but SF is the overwhelming favorite to make it to this one. Give the points,” Greenberg wrote.

The 49ers and Ravens are both favored by more than a touchdown in today’s games.
But it’s going to take a lot more than strong odds for these four teams to reach next week’s championship games.
Will Greenberg’s picks wind up being correct?
