WIldcard Week Picks
HOU vs CLE
This game will be more entertaining than most expect. Cleveland's defense has been one of the top units all season long, however, Houston's offense led by CJ Stroud is now clicking on all cylinders, and he has been playing at an All Pro level. Demeco Ryans will have this young team ready for the moment. The first game of Wildcard weekend will end in an upset, with Houston moving onto the Divisional round
33 - 23
KC vs MIA
Kansas City will host Miami in a game with sub zero temperatures, changing the atmosphere of what could have been a high scoring game. We should see a slow paced slugfest, with the winner being the team who can run the ball and control field position. KC moves on.
20 - 13
PIT vs BUF
The Bills are simply a better team than Pittsburgh. With the injury to Watt and uncertainty at QB, the Bills will roll into Acrisure and James will continue to cook. Allen will finish enough drives to put Pit away. Bills move on.
24 - 10
DAL vs GB
Dallas comes into this game with a roster full of talent at most positions, while Green Bay is sporting the youngest roster in the league. Joe Barry will struggle to come up with a game plan to stop Dallas' high powered offense, but this is my homer pick of the week, fuck them boys. Jordan Love shines in a stunner and Green Bay moves on.
27-24
DET vs LAR
This will be one of the more interesting games of the weekend. Detroit has been playing inspired all year, but have continuously struggled against top tier competition. LA has surprised many teams this year with the explosion of Puka Nakua and Kyren Williams, and Cooper Kupp is back on the field to draw defenders away. At the end of the day, the playmakers on the LA will be too much for Detroit to handle. Rams move on.
33 - 30
PHI vs TB
Drama surrounds this game as it appears Siriani may have lost the locker room. On paper, Philly is the much better team. The Bucs have played gritty football all season long, but just do not match up well across the board. Despite the recent struggles, Philly moves on.
20-17
