OK, this is the thread where people can call their shot and make a big prediction for a wildcard upset.

Mine: Denver beating Buffalo.

What do you got?

Also some road teams have a better record, does that count? Lol

The Vikings are a 1.5-point favorite, so that would be a mild upset. I also think that is pretty likely. Darnold held the ball a lot against the Lions and looked like he was feeling the pressure to me.

Chargers are a 3-point favorite on the road as well, but I don’t think many would take the Texans in that one. No offense @Airraidtech :D

I am not a big gambler, one of the few vices I am immune from it seems. But if I were laying coin, I would bet the Chargers pretty big. That's a good example of two teams heading in different directions at the end of a season.

If the Packers were healthy, I’d seriously consider them over the Eagles. But they’re not.

Wouldn’t call the Chargers beating the Texans an upset - I just think the Chargers are playing better right now.

I chose Tampa in my weekly family / friends pickem’s. But - that’s the one I look at and keep saying to my self “You know… Washington could jump up and bite the Bucs"

I also give the Pack a very, very slim chance to win that game.

This I think might be one of the better games, looking forward to that one

The only team I'm concerned about playing the Rams, are the Eagles. They are a good momentum team.

I’m picking the Rams to beat the Vikings - does that count as an upset?
I also think the Chargers will beat the Texans
Chargers are supposed to beat the Texans.

I think the best chance for an upset is the GB-Philly game, just because Jordan Love can suck but he can also have a squirrelly game where he kills you. Other two possible upsets to me are Rams and Steelers. On paper the Steelers get plowed but its a division game, they match up fairly well and the Ravens best receiver is out
