NFL Picks: Wildcard Weekend

01/04






Chiefs
3:35 PM
Colts
Rematch of Week 16 matchup, which Indy's defense dominated at Arrowhead Stadium in KC. Indy is at home this time around and as long as their defense can hold Jamaal Charles in check, they should be able to advance. 

Saints
7:10 PM

Eagles

Could be a shootout in Philly, with Drew Brees and Nick Foles anchoring two explosive offenses. But New Orleans is absolutely awful outside in the cold weather, and I think Philadelphia's running game with LeSean McCoy turns out to be difference maker.
01/05

Chargers
12:05 PM

Bengals






San Diego squeaked in against KC's backups last week, setting up this rematch of a Week 13 game won by the Bengals in California. I think Cincy wins again, behind a red-hot offense led by Andy Dalton and Giovanni Bernard.

49ers
3:40 PM

Packers
Marquee matchup of the weekend, in my opinion, with a rematch of last year's divisional playoff, won by the 49ers. Even in sub-zero degree weather, expect a lot of points, with a mediocre Green Bay and a struggling Niners defense. In the end, I think Frank Gore and San Francisco's running game to prove vital in controlling time of possession and limiting Aaron Rodgers' time on the field.





Last week: 13-3
Season record: 164-91
