I'm taking all the home teams. Kind of hesitant on the Rams pick though.

Taking all the home teams.

The Rams are the best team playing on wild card weekend, but playing the best opponent. I feel like one wild card team usually wins, which makes me nervous, but the AFC wildcards are some of the worst playoff teams in NFL history. And the Saints already beat the Panthers twice.

I see the Falcons beating the Rams..Goff, Gurley and babyCoach are one year away, IMO.
I got Saints vs Patriots in the Superbowl thus I got the Saints @home against sCam (then again you never know with Newton).
I would have picked the Bills with a 100% Shady thus Jags @home.
and pick KC @home vs Mariota's Titans.

I look forward to the game being better than the lines suggest they'll be.
I will be supporting Jacksonville to win.

I hope Atlanta gets their s*** together and manages to show up and get the big underdog win against the Rams. The Falcons have failed to be consistent all season long so I have no idea why I think that'll change in the playoffs.

I feel like we should win, but that hasn't meant much this season. Too many drops, turnovers, and penalties. They do have players who can straight up beat us. Gurley and Donald are beasts (especially with our best guard out), but I think it will come down to our execution. If we don't shoot ourselves in the feet too many times then I feel good about it.

I kind of want the Rams to win, because I think the Eagles have a better chance of beating them than they do Atlanta, lol.

But I think the Falcons will win. Julio is just an animal, and I think he'll be a huge weapon for Atlanta in these playoffs (like he was last year).

Seriously. Falcons can look like one of the worst teams in the league. Offense wasn't particularly good against during their last game. I expect Matt Bryant to get busy again.

I'm glad the Panthers are playing the Saints. At least one of them get knocked out. :lol:

Jeez, those Mariota numbers are awful this year.

Not expecting much from this wildcard weekend. Hoping to be surprised though.

Go Chiefs!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Bye Bye Titans.

Got a clear break and couldn’t take advantage of it. You’re done. Doesn’t matter if Kelce come see back or now.

As you clearly should.

If it weren’t for that unlucky practice injury I have a hunch your heroes would be playing this weekend instead of the former Oilers.
