Final Super Wild Card Weekend Predictions and things to watch



Baker Mayfield and Jayden Daniels Shake Hands after a Week 1 matchup

The Playoffs are here once again after another great NFL season.

Let’s go over every single matchup, predict the outcome, and rank them. 



  1. Chargers vs Texans 

It will probably be a close game, but not that exciting. 

Houston has had a very underwhelming season. The Chargers have been solid. Though Jim Harbaugh is probably, with a top 5 coaching job this year probably go from getting 63 points scored on you by the raiders to having a top 10 rated defense and not adding much more personnel. What a job give Coach Harbaugh and the Chargers their flowers.

Prediction 

This game is the hardest to predict. Don’t listen to people’s predictions because it’s probably just a guess. 

I could see it being a high scoring game. Herbert and Stroud having a fun high scoring one or, a lower scoring game, more likely with it coming down to turnovers and The run games.


I lean the Chargers a little bit just because the Texans haven’t been too good lately, but if the Texans win I wouldn’t be surprised one bit.

  1. Broncos Vs. Bills

This one will be fun to watch. 

The Broncos are hyped. Maybe they didn’t end the season the best way, but they are in the playoffs for the first time in 9 years basically. 

I expect the Denver fans to travel well and to create a bit of a presence in Buffalo. The fans haven’t had anything like this for nearly a decade. 

The Matchups

It’s going to come down to the Denver defense Containing The Soon-to-be MVP 

You probably can’t stop Allen. You can hope Pat Surtain doesn’t allow any catches on whoever he’s going to be guarding and you can maybe send some blitzes here and there.

What Denver needs to do and I think they will is shut down James Cook and that run running. 

Blitz constantly hope for Surtain to have a day. Hope for the pass rush to get home a couple of just times and just shut down the run game Make Josh Allen beat you through the air 

Bo Nix vs a Mid-Buffalo defense could be interesting to watch also. 

Like Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton has also had a top 5 coaching job this year. I expect them to cover the 8.5 spread but, the buffalo to win a lower scoring game. 

20-14 Buffalo Wins





Commanders Vs. Bucaneers

A bit of an overrated matchup due to getting the Sunday night football slot.


What to watch for 

You would think it’s going to be a high scoring game due to it being one in week 1 and these 2 offenses have been having great years.

The Public Money is all On the Over on the O/U


People aren’t expecting it to be a lower scoring game. That’s why it will 

The Commander's defense will play alright, but I bet Daniels will have some jitters just going on the road for your first playoff game is never good.


The Buccaneers can make a run, I think, and the Commanders won’t be an issue for them. They have more talented experience and probably better coaching. 


Don’t sweat it 

Buccaneers 24 Commanders 16 




  1. Vikings Vs Rams

Another tough game to predict but the stakes are high. 

Both teams haven’t had playoff wins in a few years and both could beat the Lions. 

The Rams almost beat them earlier this year with a horrible defense. 

Minnesota failed last Sunday, but they are still a 13 win team this year. 


What to Watch

The Defense 

Both have potential and have been solid with limited personnel. 

I feel like one defense will show up, and the other won’t and that will determine it. 

The game won’t be super close, but it’s hard to pick a winner. It’s a toss up. 


It’s hard to rebound and go across the country after what happened to Minnesota. It’s now in Arizona, which is a bit better, but it’s still a much shorter trip for Sean McVay and Co. We will really get to see how good KOC is against his former boss.

Rams 24, Vikings 13






  1. Steelers Vs. Ravens

Another Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh duel it will be awesome.


The Steelers should have beaten Cincy. I don’t see how they will have another bad game. Like Pickens won’t drop 5 passes this week and have 0 yards. 

The Steelers hit a bad spot, but they played a tough one last week and just came up short. 


The Ravens, on the other hand, have nearly been Perfect offensively. Henry and Lamar dominate a lot of teams. 

They won’t dominate this solid Steelers defense, but they could still have solid games. 


If Lamar loses this game, it will be bad. The media won’t take it lightly at all. 


If Russ losses or his career as a starter could be over, he can say bye bye to getting a hefty check this offseason. 


Russ Saturday will show he’s a Hall Of Fame QB this Saturday one more time and gets a Very late career flurry like this. 

People like to say the steelers' “.Vibes aren’t high” But it’s a division game. This veteran team will be ready when no one is expecting it whatsoever 

The Mike Tomlin talk ends 

But if the ravens were to win the game, A SB Run is likely at least I think, but this is just a trap game. 

Upset Steelers 27 Ravens 24

2 Legends just Chopping it up



Packers Vs Eagles

Whoever, losses this game, the fans will want immediate changes. That’s just how it is. Two Franchises with a lot of history and expectations going at it. 

The Packers might be one of the best 7 seeds ever. In this new NFL Playoff picture 

Also, a fun week one matchup between these 2 teams will bring alot of hype. 


The Packers did it last year, beating Dallas, but Dallas isn’t Philly.


The Eagles defense is much improved from when these 2 teams played in Brazil. 

But what have the packers improved?

Jayden Reed, who had a big week 1 game, has been horribly inconsistent. 

The Packers defense hasn’t gotten better, and they just lost the 11-game losing streak Bears At home. I just can’t see the Packers going into Philly and playing good enough to win


The running back duel between Josh Jacobs and Barkley should be fun to watch. 

But the Eagles didn’t lose in week 1 and their defense has got gotten better since then, so why should they lose now?

Eagles 34, Packers 21



A great Super Wild Card weekend is in store. What do you agree with or disagree with what I said?
