Strap in, it’s time for the NFL Playoffs!
Throughout the regular season, I gave you my best bet against the spread for every single. I plan on continuing that throughout the playoffs.
If you don’t care about the spread, and only want to know my picks to win each game, check out my moneyline picks article here.

Let’s dive into my spread picks for all six NFL Wild Card games.
NFL Wild Card Weekend spread bets
Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers -9.5
The Seattle Seahawks stumbled into the postseason, needing overtime to beat a lowly Rams team just to give themselves a chance. The 49ers, in my opinion, is the best team in the NFC and they’ll prove it on Saturday.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Jaguars +2.5
Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills
Pick: Dolphins +13.5
New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Giants +3
Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Bengals -9
The Ravens are a completely different team without Lamar Jackson at quarterback. In fact, over their last five games without Jackson, the Ravens are averaging only 13 points per game. I’m going to fade them in this spot against the Bengals, who could be poised for another Super Bowl run.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Cowboys -2.5
