What's Wright - Best Of - Ravens FIRE John Harbaugh, Top 5 NFL Playoff Storylines + Wild Card Predictions | Nick Wright

NFL Wild Card Weekend is almost underway! As the 2026 NFL playoffs kick off, betting expert Chad Millman and professional sports gambler Simon Hunter deliver their final five picks for their SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/ as our audience competes for a fabulous grand prize trip to South Florida, courtesy of our sponsor Hard Rock Bet! NFL betting picks and predictions provided today include their best bets for today's two NFC Wild Card games. First up is Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, who host Matt Stafford and the favored L.A. Rams in Charlotte. After the sun sets in the Windy City, NFL bettors will enjoy Jordan Love returning from injury for the Green Bay Packers as they look to defeat Caleb Williams and the rival Chicago Bears to advance to the Divisional Round. Who will cover the spread in a coaching matchup of Matt LeFleur against Ben Johnson? Is this chilly game destined for the under? Moving on to betting picks and predictions for the Sunday slate, we hear our host's opinions on Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills as small road favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Led by red-hot quarterback Trevor Lawrence, will the Jaguars overcome a foreboding trend? The franchise is 0-19 in games with totals higher than 49. With a total climbing north of 51, can coach Liam Coen elevate his team to glory? In the City of Brotherly Love, Jalen Hurts and the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles square off against Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field. With so much interest in the under in that game, is it becoming a sneaky over situation for gamblers? And on Sunday night, quarterback Justin Herbert leads the L.A. Chargers to Foxboro to take on Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. Coaches Jim Harbaugh and Mike Vrabel are certainly familiar with one another, but who gets the edge? And finally, today's episode wraps up with a breakdown of Monday's game between the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers, as C.J. Stroud looks to hand Aaron Rodgers a Wild Card defeat in what may be the final game of his career. All their final and official betting picks, all in one fast-paced episode! #Volume 0:03:00 - OREGON VS. INDIANA RECAP 0:09:25 - LOS ANGELES RAMS VS. CAROLINA PANTHERS 0:11:35 - GREEN BAY PACKERS VS.

Colin reacts to the Bears' massive comeback to beat the Packers, the  Rams thrilling 34-31 win over the Panthers & Indiana’s win over Oregon in the CFP. He starts with the Bears recovering from a terrible first half to beat the Packers and points to the lack of a run game and consistent pass protection leading to the Packers downfall. He gives Caleb Williams credit for making some incredible throws and playing “John Elway” level ball in the fourth quarter (3:30). He moves to the Rams win over the Panthers and points to shaky special teams for the Rams, the Panthers big bodied receivers, and some reckless throws by Matthew Stafford as reasons the underdog Panthers were able to put a scare into the Rams. He explains why he never had a doubt the Rams would come back to take the lead on their final drive (20:45).  Finally, he breaks down Indiana’s drubbing of Oregon in the College Football Playoff semi-final and offers high praise for Curt Cignetti’s coaching & explains why IU quarterback Fernando Mendoza will work at the NFL level (30:30).
