NFL Wild Card Weekend
Colts at Texas. Indianapolis is red hot having won 9 of their last 10 contests and Andrew Luck is the better quarterback in this game. The Colts must bracket DeAndre Hopkins and make another Texans receiver beat them. I like the Colts in a close one. Colts 27, Texans 24.
Seahawks at Cowboys. I don’t think either team is that good. If you subtract Russell Wilson from Seattle, they may very well be among the least talented teams in football. The Cowboys have a solid defense and a nice running game, but I do not trust Dak to make plays with the game on the line. Give me the Seahawks on the road. Seahawks 30, Dallas 23.
Chargers at Ravens. Phillip Rivers versus Lamar Jackson in a playoff game. Is there much more that needs to be said? Rivers needs to have some playoff success before his career comes to a close and this year may be his best opportunity. Chargers 24, Ravens 19.
Eagles at Bears. Nick Foles was able to lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl a season ago, but he’s going to be ousted in round one this year. The Bears defensive will engulf the Philly attack and Mitchell Trubisky will make enough plays to keep the Bears in front. Bears 31, Eagles 20.
