NFL Divisional Round schedule: How to watch playoff games this weekend

The NFL Divisional Round is scheduled to transpire this weekend, as eight teams try to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive. There will be two games played on Saturday and two games played on Sunday. Fans can watch each playoff game for free online by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV.

Both No. 1 seeds will play their first playoff games this weekend, as Kansas City and Detroit try to continue their successful seasons.

The Kansas City Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowls, and they ended the regular season with a 15-2 record. Similarly, the Detroit Lions had a 15-2 record this season, so they are looking to reach their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

Several talented teams are ready to compete with the No. 1 seeds this year: Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Each of these teams possess high-powered offenses, so they have a great chance to make a deep run in the postseason.
