2025 NFL Playoffs Wildcard: If 22 or 23 things had gone differently, the Cowboys would have made it

[Mertron]

micah gonna be on the eagles next year anyway

Money-back guarantee previews! (lines as of noon Thursday)

AFC:
Chargers -2.5
Ravens -9.5
Broncos +8.5

The Texans might be the worst team in the playoffs and have multiple WR injuries. CJ stroud has not been good. They will have to rely on their running game and the chargers defense will brush them aside. Surely the chargers will not charger. If the Texans aren’t the worst team in the playoffs, then it’s probably the Steelers who have been dogshit for a month. I don’t care if they won a home game 18-16 two months ago, it’s time for the ravens to play big boy football and prove they aren’t chokers, they’ll cover. The bills are the better team and will beat the broncos, but the bills defense is not very good and the broncos defense is acceptable, and they won’t mind playing in the cold. they’ll keep it close enough to cover the 8.5 (or maybe even win outright, and send bills fans spiraling)

NFC:
Eagles -4.5
Bucs -3 (STAY AWAY, play the over)
Vikings -1.5

HOMER ALERT: the line for eagles/packers should be higher, and probably would have been if hurts knew what day it was. the eagles are the better team, have been trending mostly upwards through the end of the season, and are healthy. i am ready to be hurt again (vic fangio don’t do this to me). Bucs/commies is game of the weekend and you could not convince me of any possible outcome not happening, but i would like to remind you the commies defense is straight up bad. speaking of bad, the Vikings are not, they just had a game from hell against the lions last week. they will basically have a home game in LA, in a dome, and will be fine against a rams team that no one is sure is really all that good outside of their two receivers. stay on target

have at you
