Picking winners for divisional round playoffs

Wild Card Weekend was a bonanza for Chris Wesseling, who went 4-for-4 on his picks. That includes two Hero picks* (#MindBlowingStat: Wesseling just had three Hero picks* all season, then had two on a weekend with four games).

The divisional playoff round involves four intriguing matchups, including three that are rematches of games played this season.
