Brown BLog Predicts: NFL Playoffs - Round 1 Wild Card Round

 


An exciting round of NFL Playoff Games are here and the Brown BLog is here to predict them all.


Rams at Panthers

The Rams have to be a favorite to eventually get to the Super Bowl, this game won't be close

Brown BLog Predicts:    Rams 31       Panthers 13


Packers at Bears

Tough game to predict.  I think Caleb Williams is on the verge of greatness.  He is the closest thing to John Elway that the NFL has seen since Elway retired.   Jordan Love is already great so this one is by far the hardest game to predict this weekend.  Can the Packers force Williams into a few mistakes.  Can the Bears do the same to Love?   What tips it for me is the Packers have suffered more injuries and the Bears are at home but it could go either way.

Brown BLog Predicts:    Bears 27    Packers 24


Bills at Jaguars

One of the takeaways of the 2025 season is that strength of schedule is important.  I have a hard time accepting the idea that the Jags are 13-4 strictly because they are such a good team.  They had a weak schedule and the Bills had an extremely tough schedule.  The Bills are flat out a better team and even on the road, they won't have trouble with the Jaguars

Brown BLog Predicts:    Bills  30    Jaguars 20


Niners at Eagles

The defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles have been the focus of critics most of the 2025 season.  I say "the critics are idiots".   Eagles win a tough one

Brown BLog Predicts:    Eagles 24    49ers    17


Chargers at Patriots

The Patriots have a great QB and have had a great season, however they also have benefitted from a weak schedule and defeating teams using second string QBs all season long.  In an upset special, the Chargers win this one on the road

Brown BLog Predicts:    Chargers 34    Patriots 23


Texans at Steelers

The Steelers are everyone's favorite team to underestimate and the Texans are everyone's favorite team to overestimate.   Do so at your own risk, Mike Tomlin wins this one

Brown BLog Predicts:    Steelers   24    Texans    14
