My guess is Vikings, Bucs, Eagles, Bills, Ravens and Chargers all make it through

I just dont see any upsets, unless you count the Vikings as an upset

Divisional

Chargers vs Chiefs
Ravens vs Bills
Bucs vs Eagles
Vikings vs Lions

Championship Game

The Packers looked very poor to me against a hapless Bears team, they need to snap out of whatever funk they're in. Likewise the Texans. I thought both would be real dark horse candidates in their respective conferences but they look for all the world like one and done teams.

Of all the wildcard games, I'm looking forward to the Buccs and Commanders the most

Will be a good game that one. Buccs are a bit hit and miss but when they hit they can beat anyone.

Vikings fluffed their lines badly and had their chances. There was a point at the end of the half where they had 4 downs from about 3 yards couldnt get it done. Then right away Pace intercepts a tipped ball and goes down about 3 yards out and they couldnt get it done. Lions next possession another tipped ball and Smith intercepts and they couldnt get it done. Lions defence was amazing and Darnold was like a rabbit in the headlights. Lost all momentum after that and Lions eased away.

Yeah just watched the highlights. Vikings couldn't take advantage of some decent yards in the first half and then couldn't cope with the Lions' running game in the second.

I'm not saying the Packers can't win because they are capable of a shock win

But I'm starting to think this version of the Packers with all their young players are reaching their ceiling. There are lots of good players but not enough great players.

They need a star receiver and a star pass rusher to move on from a good team to a great team. It's not the packers way but they need to get aggressive either in free agency or thr draft and get a top tier player. All the rivals in the NFC have done that at some point.

Also, Matt Lafleur is a great play caller and a very good coach but his game management is bottom tier in the league. He's got to find a way to stop making crazy decisions like we saw yesterday. Why would you ever take a timeout prior to what you think could be a game winning FG. Why would you go with hail Mary defence when you lose to a field goal.

Lots has been said about the Lion’s defence since all the injuries, they’ve been brilliant tonight. Offence took a while to get going, but Gibbs has absolutely cooked the Vikings defence.

Don’t think Vikings beat the Rams, they’re a good team but don’t seem able to deliver in big games.

Away to the Rams is a tough game for anyone. Stafford can beat anyone on his day
