Matchup rating: 97.0 | Spread: NO -3 (52)

What to watch for: You may have heard this game will feature a pair of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks named Tom Brady and Drew Brees. It's their first-ever playoff meeting, and it might be their last since Brees is contemplating retirement after the season. Brady is trying to reach a conference championship game for a staggering 14th time, while Brees is seeking his fourth. They're both flanked by top-six defenses, too. And while New Orleans dominated the regular-season series (winning 34-23 and 38-3), the Bucs have...

It's time for Round 3. The Saints vs the Bucs in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. You ready?

The Saints defeated the Bucs both times they played in the regular season, and they'll be looking to become the 16th team post-merger to go 3-0 against one team in a season. The most recent team to do it? The Saints in 2017 when they defeated the Carolina Panthers in the wild card round.

But this time it's 6-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady on the opposing sideline for a matchup of the two oldest active quarterbacks in the league. Brady is 43, while Brees turned 42 earlier this week...

Tonight, the Buffalo Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the second of two Divisional Playoff games. It’s a solid matchup of Buffalo’s high-powered passing attack against Baltimore’s stout defense. This game features two of the AFC’s best offenses in Buffalo’s third-ranked passing offense and Baltimore’s first-ranked rushing offense, which will make for a great showdown. It will be fun to see which of these outstanding quarterbacks leads their team to Championship Sunday. This should be a great way to conclude the first day of the Divisional Round!

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints' receiving corps keeps getting healthier by the week.

Third-year receiver Tre'Quan Smith was activated off of injured reserve Saturday -- a day before the Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a divisional-round playoff game -- after fellow receivers Michael Thomas and Deonte Harris returned from IR last week. Smith missed the past three games with an ankle injury before returning to practice this week.

Smith caught a career-high 34 passes for 448 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games this season. But the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is equally valuable...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith has been activated for Sunday’s showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Smith’s last appearance with the Saints was in the Week 15 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. In that game he was targeted twice, catching one pass for 25 yards. He was only able to play 24 snaps before leaving with his lower leg injury. There was concern about how soon or even if at all he’d be coming back this season after a photo of his leg cast was posted on his Instagram story.

The 2018 third-round selection has put together some of the best numbers of his career...

The Saints announced a series of roster moves ahead of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, including wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith‘s return to the active roster.

In addition to activating Smith, the Saints also promoted...

The Buccaneers have made a few roster moves in advance of their Sunday matchup against the Saints.

The club has elevated linebacker Deone Buchannon, offensive lineman Ted Larsen, and safety Javon Hagan from the practice squad to the active roster.

Buchannon and Larsen provide some veteran depth their respective positions. Buchannon signed with the Buccaneers’ practice squad on Jan. 6. Larsen has been with the club since Dec. 8.

Hagan, an undrafted rookie out of Ohio University, did not appear in a regular-season game.

Today, the NFC’s top-seeded Green Bay Packers host the Los Angeles Rams in the first of two Divisional Playoff games. Los Angeles comes into the game with the NFC’s best defense and is ready to face a severe test from the aggressive Green Bay passing attack. With Aaron Rodgers on the field, the Packers have virtually scored at will this season and we will see if that continues against the dominant Rams defense. It will also be interesting to see if Jared Goff’s thumb can hold together through the bitter cold at Lambeau. This will be a great way to kick off the 2021 Divisional Playoff...
