NFL Picks: Wild Card Edition

So Before I get to m picks, let's wrap up my year's record

Points: Saints, Dolphins, Titans, Rams, Niners

5-7 (meh) for a final total of 118-106

Victories: Bears, Falcons, Saints, Jets, Packers, Titans, Cowboys, Eagles, Ravens, Rams, Broncos, Niners.

12-4 for a final record of 165-90

Now in the wild card round, I don't use the point spreads because winning is the name of the game. 4 games and here we go:

Bills @ Texans: The Texans have hosted a grand total of  5 playoff games on WC weekend and they are 3-2 in such games. Their 3 wins consist of 2 wins against the Bengals, who haven't won a playoff game since 1991, and a Derek Carr-less Raiders team. I think the Bills have the mentality to go into Houston and win this game. And I think they will. Close, but the Bills will win.

Victory: Bills

Titans @ Patriots: Pats assistants have had some success against Belichick of late. But I just don't see Tennessee going into NE; which might be Tom Brady's last game there, and winning. Close for 2 quarters and the Pats pull away late

Victory: Pats

Vikings @ Saints: This has bloodbath written all over it. The Vikings are down to about 4 healthy CBs going into this game. The Saints want revenge for what happened 2 years ago in Minnesota. And I think they will get their pound of flesh and then some.

Victory: Saints

Seahawks @ Eagles: This is the most interesting game of the weekend. Both of these teams are very inconsistent. But at the end of the day, Russell Wilson will find a way to bring his team to victory. This is Carson Wentz's first ever playoff game and I think it will show a bit, especially at home. This game will also be close but I think the Seahawks win.

Victory: Seahawks
