The 2022 NFL Playoffs begin this weekend and if you are a fan of football, you will be in heaven as there will be six NFL Wild Card Weekend games played. The action starts on Saturday afternoon with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the San Francisco 49ers and concludes on Monday night with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Dallas Cowboys. Here are my picks for each and every NFL Wild Card Weekend game this weekend.
Which teams will win during the NFL Wild Card Weekend?
SATURDAY’S NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND GAMES
Los Angeles Chargers at Jacksonville Jaguars – 8:15 p.m. ET ESPN
Spread: Chargers -1.5
This is a very tough game for me to pick as both the Chargers and Jaguars have been playing solid football over the past month or so. That being said, I think the Jaguars are a little bit better defensively and I think that will be enough to squeeze out a win.
Prediction:
Jaguars 24 (+1.5)
Chargers 23
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers – 4:30 p.m. ET FOX
Spread: 49ers -10
If there is one game this weekend that I think will be over by halftime, it is this one. The Seahawks offense is trash and the 49ers’ defense has been extremely good. I honestly would be surprised if the Seahawks score more than 14 in this one.
Prediction:
49ers 34 (-10)
Seahawks 10
SUNDAY’S NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND GAMES
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills – 1:00 p.m. ET CBS
Spread: Bills -13.5
I don’t care if Tom Brady in his prime was playing quarterback for the Miami Dolphins as the Buffalo Bills are on a mission. Well, not only do the Dolphins not have Brady in his prime, but they also do not have Tua. This one is going to get very ugly.
Prediction:
Bills 34 (-13.5)
Dolphins 13
Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals – 8:15 p.m. ET NBC
Spread: Bengals -9.5
I really think Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens would give the Bengals a run for their money. The problem is, Lamar is not playing, which gives the Bengals an even bigger advantage at QB position than they already had. I just do not see the Ravens scoring enough to win this one.
Prediction:
Bengals 27 (-9.5)
Ravens 13
New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings – 4:30 p.m. ET FOX
Spread: Vikings -3
I really don’t think the New York Giants are anything to call home about but I have been calling the Vikings the biggest NFL fraud for at least 12 weeks now and I am sticking to that. This one will come down to a last-second field goal, one way or the other.
Prediction:
Giants 27 (+3)
Vikings 24
MONDAY’S NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND GAME
Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 8:15 p.m. ET ABC/ESPN
Spread: Cowboys -2.5
A) I hate the Cowboys and B) Tom Brady is at home in the playoffs. I really think the Cowboys are the better football team right now, but betting WITH Tom Brady at home has won me a lot of money over the years. Let’s go with the GOAT.
Prediction:
Buccaneers 30 (+2.5)
Cowboys 27
Nation, which teams do you think will advance past the NFL Wild Card Weekend Round?
