I like the Bills and Jags, so probably no playoff berth for the Steelers this year. 

Then I like the Texans and Phins chances to pull off upsets against KC/BUF in the wildcard round.
 

A little last week / last chance upsets are always .... nice too.

And our browns can beat anyone, but they also aren’t unbeatable (obviously). We’ll be favorites in the first round regardless of the opponent.

~          And also from  "SI"  this  WEEK  #1-8,  always a tricky one.        

Now that you have the overall NFL playoff picture, let’s get into our favorite NFL playoff predictions. We’re actually going to start with the last game of the week - the SNF matchup between the Bills and Dolphins. It’s a winner-take-all game for the AFC East, and we’re backing QB Josh Allen and Buffalo.

Not only are the Bills arguably the hottest team in the NFL right now, but the Dolphins couldn’t be more banged up. Each one of their primary offensive weapons is questionable: WRs Tyrek Hill and Jaylen Waddle alongside RBs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane. Their unavailability and overall lack of 100% usage was clearly evident in last week’s 56-19 blowout loss.

Buffalo already smacked Miami 48-20 when those guys were healthy, so they can take care of business now that they’re as hot as ever. As for our other favorite play, we’re heading to the final NFC Wild Card spot. That’s where we’re supporting the experience of the Seattle Seahawks and head coach Pete Carroll.

They were in this exact situation last year in Week 18 when they snatched the final playoff spot from the Green Bay Packers, which they can do once again. They’re facing a divisional opponent in the Arizona Cardinals, so not only is the familiarity there, but the Cards are just 4-12 on the year.

★★★  Given the friendlier point spread regarding our favorite NFL playoff predictions, we’d make the Seahawks -2.5 (-115 at Caesars Sportsbook) our best bet.

★Be careful the  WEEK 18 lines and odds can be tricky,  almost like  WEEK 1 or worse.  Just look at the number of lines around  3 +/-.    About 9 games are  3  with a +/- of 1 point.         ●  And what do you think about  CLE -7 ?     

Saturday, January 6:

• Pittsburgh Steelers -3 (-115) vs. Baltimore Ravens +3 (-105)
• Houston Texans -1.5 (-110) vs. Indianapolis Colts +1.5 (-110)

Sunday, January 7:

• Jacksonville Jaguars -3.5 (-105) vs. Tennessee Titans +3.5 (-115)
• Minnesota Vikings +3.5 (-110) vs. Detroit Lions -3.5 (-110)
• Atlanta Falcons +3 (-105) vs. New Orleans Saints -3 (-115)
• New York Jets +2.5 (-115) vs. New England Patriots -2.5 (-105)
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers -4.5 (-110) vs. Carolina Panthers +4.5 (-110)
• Cleveland Browns +7 (-115) vs. Cincinnati Bengals -7 (-105)
• Chicago Bears +3 (-110) vs. Green Bay Packers -3 (-110)
• Dallas Cowboys -13 (-110) vs. Washington Commanders +13 (-110)
• Denver Broncos (-110) vs. Las Vegas Raiders (-110)
• Philadelphia Eagles -5.5 (-115) vs. New York Giants +5.5 (-105)
• Seattle Seahawks -2.5 (-115) vs. Arizona Cardinals +2.5 (-105)
• Kansas City Chiefs +3.5 (-110) vs. Los Angeles Chargers -3.5 (-110)
• Los Angeles Rams +4 (-110) vs. San Francisco 49ers -4 (-110)
• Buffalo Bills -3 (-110) vs. Miami Dolphins +3 (-110)

I don't want to fan any flames, but holy crap if Tampa Bay & Baker lose to Carolina, yikes.

By all means do. I do not mind in the slightest

Playoff scenarios are pretty crazy in both the AFC & NFC South, and somehow the Vikings are still alive at 7-9.

I would rather see Driskell.. PJ can't throw a football to save his soul... He's gawd awful as a passer... Id rather the Browns just cut him...

Sure why not, may as well see if he is competent enough to be the playoff QB2.

I know it’s a meaningless game but I really hope PJ Walker wins to make the bungles 0-6 in the AFCN
