»Pick the favorites in Saturday’s NFL wild-card games, as predicted«
Here are the picks for the NFL wild-card games on Saturday. Home team capitalized.
49ERS (-9.5) are favored over the Seahawks.
Clearly, this will serve as a prelude to the day’s marquee football contests, despite the fact that the Niners’ quarterback roster appears to be depleted.
San Francisco hopes to emerge from this with few injuries to life and limb, as the 49ers attempt to peak as the number of games decreases.
Unless a backdoor opens, the Seahawks would need to display extraordinary form in the closing stages of the game in order to threaten an upset. which is conceivable but unlikely
Brock Purdy, USA TODAY Sports, gives the edge to the Chargers (-2.5) against the Jaguars.
With Trevor Lawrence with his toe troubles preventing him from demonstrating optimal form, and with the top Jax wideouts suffering significant battle wounds, it’s difficult to support the Jaguars at this short plus number (especially with their home-field advantage) until they gather more postseason experience.
Normal Chargers performance should suffice for the time being, as the Bolts have had greater experience to the rigors of NFL competition.
Last week: 6-8
Seasonal record: 120-110-3
