As the NFL playoffs are on the horizon, it’s time to make our predictions. Let’s dive right into the excitement without any delay!
GIARDI’S PICKS
WILD CARD ROUND
- Rams 27, Panthers 16
- Bears 23, Packers 20
- Jaguars 23, Bills 20
- Eagles 17, 49ers 16
- Patriots 27, Chargers 20: This matchup is particularly intriguing, especially since it wouldn’t have transpired had the Chargers been at full strength—they would have secured a higher seed. However, due to their current condition, the Patriots are poised to capitalize. They manage to disrupt the Chargers’ offensive line just enough to keep quarterback Justin Herbert scrambling throughout the game. Meanwhile, rookie Drake Maye shines under the playoff spotlight, throwing for two touchdowns and adding another on the ground.
- Steelers 17, Texans 14
