Eagles and Bills advance in the NFL playoffs, highlighted by Barkley`s standout performance and close victories.

The NFL Divisional Round showcased thrilling matchups, highlighted by the Philadelphia Eagles` narrow victory over the Los Angeles Rams, winning 28-22 at Lincoln Financial Field. The game unfolded under snowy conditions, complicating ball handling and adding to the drama. Saquon Barkley emerged as the star, racking up an impressive 205 rushing yards and scoring two touchdowns, including explosive runs of 62 and 78 yards. Despite an injury to quarterback Jalen Hurts, who completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards, the Eagles held their ground against a late Rams surge led by Matt Stafford.

In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills edged the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in a tightly contested battle at Highmark Stadium. The harsh winter weather set the stage for a fierce competition, with the Ravens scoring a touchdown late in the game to come within two points. However, a bobbled two-point conversion attempt by tight end Mark Andrews dashed their hopes of tying the game. Josh Allen spearheaded the Bills` offense, responding effectively to an early Ravens touchdown, while the Bills` defense stood firm against Lamar Jackson`s late-game efforts.

The victories by the Eagles and Bills pave the way for an exciting Conference Championship round. The Eagles will host the Washington Commanders, who pulled off an upset against the Detroit Lions, while the Bills will travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated the Houston Texans. Current playoff standings have the Eagles leading with Super Bowl odds at +175, followed closely by the Chiefs at +245, and the Bills and Ravens both at +550.
