Wildcard weekend is almost here!! So who do I have winning the six games we will feast on?
CHARGERS AT TEXANS: Texans have really slogged through the regular season, losing 5 of their last 9 games. Aside from an impressive win over the Bills in Week 4, they haven't beaten a playoff team this year. I really can't shake that 31-2 loss to the Ravens on Christmas. The Chargers have also only beaten one playoff team this season -- the Broncos twice. But this seems like the more consistent team in a better head space right now. I have the Chargers winning this one.
STEELERS AT RAVENS: Anyone who has paid attention to Pittsburgh has seen their offense at their worst, scoring just 57 points (14.3 ppg) in their four game losing streak. Three weeks ago the Ravens spanked the Steelers in Baltimore and I see this game going the same way. Ravens win.
BRONCOS AT BILLS: This has become the trendy upset pick and I can see why. Denver's defense is the perfect kind of defense to go up against this Josh Allen offense. They get to the quarterback and they have a shut down corner that forces the quarterback to work his other receivers. I get it. I still think Buffalo wins this game and sets up a showdown with the Ravens.
PACKERS AT EAGLES: A rematch from the Week 1 Brazil game that the Packers almost won. Love is banged up and I feel that Philly is the most complete team in the NFL. The Eagles make mistakes that could be their demise in these playoffs, but I feel they are destined to face the Lions in the NFC championship game. Eagles fly to a comfortable win.
COMMANDERS AT BUCCANEERS: Note that I am a Commanders fan, so it's hard for me to pick against Washington. But I will. This has been a fantastic season for the Commanders and the future is extremely bright. But Tampa is better right now. They can run the ball (Washington struggles at that) and I feel Mike Evans is going to have a major game. However, I'd love to see these two quarterbacks who have been so clutch all season long have chances to will their teams to win. I just think the Buccaneers eek this one out.
VIKINGS AT RAMS: This should be great. Two explosive offenses and two of the young great offensive minds at head coach. I'm so torn on this. I trust the Rams more ... especially now that they are healthy. But Minnesota has been so good this entire season. The key is if the Rams defense can force Sam Darnold to look chaotic like the Lions did last Sunday. Minnesota's defense is much better at home than on the road so I'm going with the Rams.
