The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the NFL’s hottest teams this season, ending the regular season on a 10 game winning streak, despite season ending injuries to both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. Even though they started the season with a 3-4 record before this fascinating run, they managed to top the NFC West.
Meanwhile for Seattle, they snook into the playoffs thanks to an Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay Packers loss against the Detroit Lions on home turf Sunday, which allowed them to claim the final NFC wild card spot.
After a regular season to remember for the California outfit, we back the 49ers to progress past the Wild Card weekend, beating the Seahawks in the first game of the playoffs.
Seahawks At 49ers Odds
The Buffalo Bills are the second favorites to win this years Super Bowl, after finishing top of AFC East with a 13-3 record, and host the Miami Dolphins this weekend, who were one of the Bills’ three regular season losses back in September.
Miami only just acquired the NFC’s final wild card spot after beating the New York Jets in their final game of the regular season, and results elsewhere meant they’d be playing in the postseason, after the New England Patriots were defeated by the Bills.
Even as the underdogs, there is a slight hope for the Dolphins, with star QB Tua Tagovailoa expected to return from concussion protocol and be fit for the clash with the Bills.
Despite this, we do expect the Bills to get the job done and cover the spread, advancing to the next round of the playoffs.
Dolphins At Bills Odds
The Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants meet once again just less than a month after their Christmas Eve showdown, which turned out to be a classic, where the Vikings picked up a slender 27-24 victory.
Minnesota go into the game as favorites, and have one of the best wide receivers in the NFL on their team Justin Jefferson, who had nine touchdowns for the season, and a record breaking 1,809 receiving yards.
We’re expecting the Vikings to cover the spread against the Giants, as Minnesota hope to reach their first Super Bowl since 1966.
Giants At Vikings Odds
Baltimore Ravens star QB Lamar Jackson is expected to return this weekend, and has not featured since he suffered a knee sprain back in Week 13 – and the Ravens could be relying on him to have any hopes of progressing in the playoffs.
The Cincinnati Bengals will look to go one step further this year and win the Super Bowl, after losing narrowly to the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl LVI last year.
Cincinnati are looking like a real strong force coming into Wild Card weekend, winning eight games on the bounce and have secured back-to-back AFC North titles in the meantime. The Bengals are certainly our pick to cover the spread in the final game on Sunday.
Ravens At Bengals Odds
In the final game of the Wild Card round, the Dallas Cowboys travel to the Raymond James Stadium in Flordia to take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay didn’t have their best season, and finished with a negative record of 8-9, however progressed to the postseason after topping NFC South in a very close southern division. Meanwhile, the Cowboys finished the season second in NFC East, with a 12-5 record.
The Bucs did in fact beat the Cowboys in the first Sunday Night Football of the season back in September, but that was a while ago now, and things have changed since and we’re expecting the Cowboys to knock the Bucs out and progress to the next round of the playoffs.
