Flea Flicker Wild Card Predictions

The 2022 NFL Playoffs begin today. Here are some guesses at the Wild Card games. 

Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers
The biggest question in this game is probably the 49ers margin of victory.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Chargers
While the Jaguars are finally headed in the right direction, the Chargers feel like the team that can take down any team.

Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Bills
Like the Seahawks-49ers game, the margin of the Bills victory is the biggest question.

New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
As they did on Christmas Eve, the Vikings take care of the Giants. Hopefully, it doesn’t take another 61-yard field goal to do it. 

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Bengals
The two teams played last week. Without Lamar Jackson, the Ravens won’t fare any better.

Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Cowboys
In another money grab, the NFL decided to jam a playoff game onto Monday night. No matter how the league slices it, a team playing a late Monday night game will be at a competitive disadvantage in the Divisional round. It’s possible, even likely, that the Cowboys or Buccaneers will play a team with a week of rest, the Philadelphia Eagles. Sounds fair. 
As for this game, the only team in the playoffs with a losing record, the 8-9 Buccaneers host the 12-5 Cowboys. The guess here is that Tom Brady has a short playoffs.
