The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs are here ... and Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green is breaking down each and every one of the games!

Green -- a Super Bowl champion -- joined Babcock to preview both Saturday and Sunday's matchups ... as the eight remaining teams battle for a chance to advance to the Conference Championship games.

The big weekend kicks off with the Bills travelling to Mile High for a tilt with the number one seed Broncos ... a game that Trent believes will come down to last year's Most Valuable Player.

"It's gonna be the quarterback play, and how they get it done. And how Denver's defense can try and slow down Josh Allen."

Saturday's second game will pit the 49ers against the Seahawks in Seattle.

It's a matchup that Green believes will come down to a few key points, including whether the Niners survive another big injury -- this time to star tight end George Kittle -- as well as the play of QB Sam Darnold and Seattle's feared defense.

Josh Allen might not admit it, but this is his year to win the Super Bowl ... so says ex-Bills receiver Stevie Johnson -- and it's all thanks to Patrick Mahomes sitting at home.

"Internally, he knows exactly what we know, like, there’s no Patrick Mahomes," Johnson said. "I don’t think he's worried about Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson because he beat them a few times -- but it's just Mahomes in the playoffs. He's basically the reason why Josh was winless on the road."

The Bills and Chiefs have been familiar faces in the playoffs over the years ... but with Mahomes and Co. at home -- as well as Burrow's Bengals and Jackson's Ravens -- most folks are saying this is Allen's turn to take home the Lombardi Trophy.

The Bengals keeping Zac Taylor was the right move ... so says Adam "Pacman" Jones, who believes the team's struggles this past season aren't his fault -- it's all on the defense!!

TMZ Sports caught up with the former Bengals star in Los Angeles this week and asked whether the team made a mistake sticking with Taylor after a 6-11 season -- especially when there are some sexy names available this offseason.

"I don't think it's Zac Taylor's fault," Jones said. "The offense is scoring 30 points a game. Taylor call the offensive plays. We still been one of the top offenses."

"I would get at least four first downs before I get the hang of it," Johnson said. "Now if we're talking in the red zone, I can get three touchdowns -- fade, slant, that’s easy work. Just get up on 'em, create space and it’s money all day."
