NFL Wild Card Weekend picks and preview
Everything you need to know about all 4 NFL playoff games and why the Bears are the best Wild Card pick
The 2019 NFL playoffs are here, and we kick off Wild Card Weekend with four great games. While the home team is favored in every game, they’re just a 2.5-point favorite in three of them. Vegas typically gives three points for home field, so that implies the road team is better in three of the four games. That’s interesting, and it should make for some very good football.
After a topsy-turvy December, we ended up with the same top four we expected all season: the Saints, Rams, Chiefs, and Patriots. The Steelers and Vikings are sitting at home watching. Instead we got a surprising pair of AFC South teams, a Seahawks team that won’t say die, a really good Chargers squad, and somehow two teams from the terrible NFC East.
I finished the year strong, going 18–7–2 the last two weeks with 6–1 best bets, and we’re a perfect 6–0 on best bets for the year. Let’s keep the momentum going and decipher Wild Card Weekend with four winning picks.
