2022 Wild Card Round predictions thread

I think bengals win and unfortunately i expect dallas to win.

That being said i expect niners to give em a game. If they cant play ball control and run the ball they have a great shot

Hopefully there will be tons of 49er fans in Dallas like that one time they were 90% of the crowd!

Expectations are super high for this team. I think they beat NE but lose to KC next week. Just don’t think they can win a big game in KC.

On a side note, it’s going to -10 with the wind chill at kick off Saturday night in Buffalo. Crazy fucking cold.

Bengals over Raiders - Bengals just better
Bills over Patriots - Bills the better players
Cowboys over 49ers - not time for Cowboys to fold yet
Bucs over Eagles - Brady not losing here
Chief over Steelers - Steelers are on life support
Rams over Cards - Rams on the rise

Best chance for upset:

Patriots because of BB

and

Cards because the Rams can lose focus

Bengals.
Bills.
Bucs.
Cowboys.
Chiefs.
Rams.

that stood out.

Bengals
Bills
Bucs
49ers
Chiefs
Cardinals

are slam dunks.

I can't wait to watch 'em.

Burrow is better than Carr
Josh Allen is better than Mac Jones
Brady is better than anybody...maybe except Rodgers
Prescott is better than Garrapollo
Mahomes is better than "Lucky to be there" Ben
and Stafford is better than Kyler at this point.

All of those six teams with better QB's (in my opinion) are home.

So that makes it easy for me:

Cincy, Buffalo, TB, Dallas, KC & the Rams.

What about against the spread?

Do bills cover -4?
Cowboys -3?

I don’t see any great bets in this slate, all of the lines seem good.

I think I like Cowboys to cover

I thought the same thing. Very strange line movement. It’s making me believe more and more the 49ers win the game.

Raiders over Bengals. Raiders have overcome a lot this year and they seem to have some momentum. Carr is a good QB.

Patriots over Bills. Patriots run all over the Bills in a low scoring ice cold game.

Tampa pulls away in the second half and wins by 10 plus.

Niners exploit Cowboys weaknesses on defense. Jerry sees another high expectation season fizzle out.

Chiefs get out to quick lead and Steelers struggle to hang in ultimately losing by 14 plus.

If we are talking lines, I like 3 favorites and 3 underdogs

Raiders +6
Bucs -8.5
Bills -4
49ers +3
Chiefs -13
Rams +4

Except I think the Bengals will win.

Rams are 4 point dogs?

Nope, I’m an idiot. Meant the cards.

Raiders versus Bengals (Bengals)
Bills versus Patriots (Bills)
Buccaneers versus Eagles (Bucs)
49ers versus Cowboys (Cowboys)
Chiefs versus Steelers (Chiefs)
Rams versus Cardinals (Rams)

*I am sure though we will have one surprise upset here. If I had to take a sleeper-cover on that, I'd take the Eagles to beat the Bucs, with Cardinals over Rams as the other honorable mention.

Would be lovely but I think Dallas blows SF out. I just don't think that much of them.

I'm willing to bet good money that Green Bay would prefer seeing the Cowboys win.

Raiders +5.5
Bills -4
Bucs -8.5
49ers +3
Chiefs -12.5
Cardinals +3.5

really hoping to see Dallas knocked out...especially at home

I think you can expect Jerry World to look very similar to what Sofi stadium looked like last weekend. There will be droves of 49ers fans there.

Weather is going to be a big factor on Saturday, cold in Cincy and bone chilling cold in Buffalo.

Also looks like Tampa could see a good amount of rain & storms on Sunday.
