Small Ballers NFL Wild Card Predictions

Since we will not have a Small Baller Podcast before most of the NFL playoff games, we have put together an article stating who each of the hosts of the Small Baller Podcast thinks will win and why.

Saturday Games

---

Seahawks vs. 49ers at 4:30 PM EST, Line: SF -10

Ben: 49ers, Brock Purdy might not be the answer as a long-term QB but he’s surrounded by enough talent to get the job done against the Seahawks.

Brandon: 49ers, I think the 49ers offense is too potent for a fluttering Seahawks defense.

Trevor: 49ers, The Seahawks are going to have a hard time moving the ball, and the 49ers will move it with ease.

Chargers vs. Jaguars at 8:15 PM EST, Line: LAC -1.5

Ben: Chargers, Herbert vs Lawrence will be a fantastic matchup that is likely to be around for a while. Herbert and Eckler together prove to be too much against a tough Jags defense.

Brandon: Jaguars, I am feeling bold with this pick but after the Jags beat down the Ravens many weeks ago, I think they take this game in a close one.

Trevor: Chargers, This will be Herbert’s first big playoff moment and they will take down the Jags in a tight one.

Sunday Games

---

Dolphins vs. Bills at 1:00 PM EST, Line: BUF -13.5

Ben: Bills, The Bills against a third-string QB is all I need to say.

Brandon: Bills, With Tua, this would have been such a fun game. Without Tua, this will be a demolishing.

Trevor: Bills, It’s a shame Tua isn’t healthy to make this more interesting, and the Bills' offense was really clicking against the Pats last week. I expect them to win big.

Giants vs. Vikings at 4:30 PM EST, Line: MIN -3

Ben: Vikings, Daniel Jones has been solid this year but this time of year you need to be great and I don’t know if there are enough weapons on that offense to keep up with Justin Jefferson and co.

Brandon: Giants, The Vikings have had a mediocre year disguised as a good one because of their record. The Giants' defense will overpower the Vikings' struggling offense.

Trevor: Giants, This game is almost guaranteed to be a chaotic thriller with ten “what in the world?” moments. Giants in overtime.

Ravens vs. Bengals at 8:15 PM EST, Line: CIN -9.5

Ben: Ravens, Playing a team three times in a year is absolutely brutal. Doesn’t help when the other team has John Harbaugh on their sideline.

Brandon: Bengals, Another matchup that if both starting quarterbacks were healthy would be such a fun game. We will unfortunately see a rather big win for the Bengals.

Trevor: Bengals, Who Dey. Big Lou might give the Ravens' offense nightmares.

Monday Game

---

Cowboys vs. Buccaneers at 8:15 PM EST, Line: DAL -2.5

Ben: Cowboys, The Cowboys have too much talent on both sides of the ball. Tom Brady will be starting his off-season training early this year.

Brandon: Cowboys, The Bucs frankly are just not a good football team. They have played better recently but I got the Cowboys by 10.

Trevor: Cowboys, I promise this isn’t a reverse jinx. The Cowboys may not be trustworthy in the playoffs, but McCarthy isn’t the only mediocre coach in this one.
