Wildcard match-ups and where to watch them

[Morbius]

4. My predictions

Saturday, January 11, 2025
4:30 p.m. ET: Chargers at Texans (CBS)
8 p.m. ET: Steelers at Ravens (Prime)

Jim Harbaugh has the Chargers believing in themselves and playing good defense. The Texans might have pulled this out if they had Tank Dell, because the Chargers are kind of overperforming their talent. But Dell is out until next season, and I think the Bolts move on.

Meanwhile, his brother John has the Ravens humming like a machine, and the Steelers have lost four straight. 'Nuff said.

Sunday, January 12, 2025
1 p.m. ET: Broncos at Bills (CBS)
4:30 p.m. ET: Packers at Eagles (Fox)
8 p.m. ET: Commanders at Buccaneers (NBC/Peacock)

Buffalo is mighty. Their scrubs came sort of close to winning against New England. I love the Bills here, especially at home. Do not be fooled by Denver's 38-0 shellacking of the defending champs; if the Chiefs had wanted the 16th win they would have gotten it.

The Packers just lost to the Bears. I expect Jordan Love to play next week even if he isn't 100%, but the Eagles are running well, defending well, and Jalen Hurts might play. Even if he doesn't, the Eagles have enough to defeat Green Bay at home.

The Buccaneers have won their bad division again, but will be embarrassed by a solid Washington team.

Monday, January 13, 2025
8 p.m. ET: Vikings at Rams (ESPN/ABC)

The Rams have overachieved and the Vikings, despite the loss against Detroit, are for real.
