NFL Wild Card Weekend Predictions

Texans vs. Steelers

The Texans head into their Wild Card matchup against the Steelers with an impressive defensive lineup. Despite the home-field advantage for the Steelers, the Texans’ defense is expected to stifle quarterback Aaron Rodgers, allowing C.J. Stroud and the offensive unit to capitalize.

My pick: Texans.

Bills vs. Jaguars

In a clash featuring last year’s MVP, Josh Allen, the Bills face a formidable opponent in the Jaguars. With the Jaguars peaking at the right moment, they are set to exploit potential weaknesses in the Bills’ defense. Unless the Bills show significant defensive improvements, anticipate the Jaguars to take an early lead and maintain it.

My pick: Jaguars.

Chargers vs. Patriots

The Chargers will visit New England to take on the Patriots in a matchup that is sure to ignite passionate fan energy. Coach Mike Vrabel’s strategy will aim to leverage every advantage against the Chargers, as MVP hopeful Drake Maye finds his rhythm. Expect a tough game for the Chargers.

My pick: Patriots.

Rams vs. Panthers

Despite being the visiting team, the Rams are the favorites against the Panthers. For Carolina, making it to the playoffs and winning their division is a significant achievement this season. The Rams, hungry for revenge, are unlikely to let the Panthers win again this season.

My pick: Rams.

49ers vs. Eagles

The 49ers have had a remarkable season despite injury woes, showcasing a potent offense. However, they face a well-rounded Eagles team that boasts strength on both offense and defense. The Eagles should be able to control the game pace and keep the 49ers in check.

My pick: 49ers.

Packers vs. Bears

This matchup features two teams with closely matched capabilities, but injury setbacks for the Packers could be detrimental. The Bears, under the leadership of head coach Ben Johnson, have surpassed expectations this season and look poised for a playoff win.

My pick: Bears.
