NFL wildcard playoff picks

[True Dough]

We did this in past years. Let's do it again!

Los Angeles Rams @ Carolina Panthers

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears

Buffalo Bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars

San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles

Los Angeles Chargers @ New England Patriots

Houston Texans @ Pittsburgh Steelers

I'm going with:

Rams
Bears
Jaguars
Eagles
Patriots
Texans

1. Why 🪢...

Rams…
Bears…
Bills…
Birds…
Patriots…
Steelers…

Pulling for Rams for Suburb Owl. Still like Stafford.

[True Dough]

3. If the Rams win it all

does Stafford retire? I think so. But if the Rams fall short of a Super Bowl, does Stafford come back next year? I'm not sure.

[MiHale]

7. Still is a running joke in some Lions circles...

Matthew is playing because the alternative is at home with 5 girls, needs his ‘guy’ time. Yes it’s kinda wrong,
I think he’ll play till he drops.

[True Dough]

8. Well, his buddy Clayton Kershaw finally called it a career

Different sports, obviously. And Kershaw went out with another World Series.

So, we shall see...

[MiHale]

19. The Comeback Kid...

Nickname for Stafford when in Detroit…
Whatta game!

[True Dough]

20. I'd kinda like to see Carolina get a field goal

and force OT.

MORE! MORE! MORE!

18. The Panthers have taken the lead in the 4th quarter.

This game has turned into a surprise!

Hope it's a good Wild Card weekend..

6. * I'm bad at picking games. Two toughest ones.

Packers @ Bears and Niners @ Eagles

I’m rooting for Da Bears. I like both teams but Caleb is as advertised. He’s impromptu and can flick it like Mahomes. Fun to watch.

The Niners can put up a lot of points. The Iggles have scored more than 20 only 3 times since their bye week (9 games) - 2 of those were against the Raiders and DC. They mustered 21 in a loss to Dallas. All 3 of those defenses could suck-start a Harley. They also have only given up 20+ 3 times in the same span. If it’s a grind - Philly. If it’s not - SF.

Today Charlotte looks mostly dry but rain and thunder will be near. Chicago is going to be cold and windy (16MPH) at game time

9. More challenging with the point spreads

I was posting threads on games for the entire NFL season about 15 years ago in the Sports forum. Did it for several years.

Favorite / Spread / Underdog (Home team in CAPS)

L.A. Rams / 10.5 / CAROLINA
Green Bay / 1.5 / CHICAGO

Buffalo / 1 / JACKSONVILLE
PHILADELPHIA / 5.5 / San Francisco
NEW ENGLAND / 3.5 / L.A. Chargers

Houston / 3 / PITTSBURGH

------------------------

I'll take all the favorites to beat the spread except for the Rams. They'll win the game but 10 1/2 pts is too much to give IMO.

11. I think the Jags will beat the Bills.

We have that history with them plus Jags D is ferocious.

[lark]

10. I agree with most of your picks except:

I think 49ers take the Eagles and I'm praying for a miracle and Steelers punch Houston in the mouth and win!

I'm a Jaguars fan and a 2ndary 49ers fan and HATE Houston.

[Auggie]

13. Seattle drew up the blueprint in how to beat San Francisco ...

plus, Vic Fangio owns Kyle Shanahan. I expect a bloodbath and a big Philly win.

[lark]

16. if Trent Williams, George Kittle, & Bosa or Warner play, think it will be close and 49ers have a chance,

If the stars can't play, Eagles could romp.

[Auggie]

17. No Bosa. No Warner. No Bethune. No Winters. No Defense.

[AZLD4Candidate]

12. Wild Card weekend will be interesting. My picks.

Los Angeles Rams
Chicago Bears
Buffalo Bills
San Francisco 49ers
Los Angeles Chargers
Houston Texans

Go Bills!

[Xavier Breath]

14. I'm only betting as much as I can afford to lose here.

Rams
Bears
Jags
Niners
Pats
Texans

15. Packers expected to win tonight and face the 49ers on the 25th.

[True Dough]

21. Are you

planted in front of your TV?

[milestogo]

22. About 12 feet away.

So many Packers TDs I can't keep up!

[Dulcinea]

23. Steelers & Bills!

I'm a lifelong Steelers fan. I have faith in the old guy who's done this before to pull it out. My husband is a long-suffering Bills fan. Time will tell!
