Trevor Lawrence has thrown five interceptions in two playoff games, while Josh Allen has won five straight wild card or divisional-round games. While I understand it's a team game, I'm putting my money on the former MVP and his Superman likeness.
They say go big or go home. I'm certainly hoping the Los Angeles Chargers aren't going anywhere but the divisional round. I'm backing them to upset the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
Justin Herbert, one of the league's best regular-season QBs, is long overdue for a maiden playoff win, and he'll show that he's learned from previous failures. On the other hand, I'm expecting Drake Maye's inexperience to finally trip up the sensational sophomore.
Jalen Hurts has rushed for at least 31 yards in seven of nine playoff games, including scampering for at least 70 yards in two of the previous three, including in the Super Bowl.
Kenneth Gainwell is one of Aaron Rodgers' preferred targets, and he has at least 31 receiving yards in three of four games to end the season, including a 64-yard performance in the AFC North decider against Baltimore.
With at least 58 rushing yards in four of the previous six games, I'm backing D'Andre Swift to hit the Over. The Packers have the 22nd-ranked defensive rush DVOA, and the cold weather should be conducive to a concerted effort on the ground from the home team.

🚀 My best NFL moneyline parlay picks for Wild Card Weekend
The Rams are superior on both sides of the ball and are far more experienced in the playoffs. They also have the probable MVP and most clutch QB, according to our NFL playoff QB rankings.
The Bears were excellent at Soldier Field, winning six of eight. Their only two defeats at home occurred in Weeks 1 and 18.
Despite being decimated by injuries early this season, the San Francisco 49ers finished with an impressive 7-2 road record. I expect them to keep it close in Philly, which I outlined in more detail in my Wild Card Weekend picks against the spread.
I'm backing the Los Angeles Chargers to upset the New England Patriots, with Herbert proving the naysayers wrong and Maye finally proving that he is indeed human.
Arguably the most confident and in-form team, the Houston Texans roll into Pittsburgh ready to demonstrate why its defense is touted so highly. I can't see the Steelers creating much against arguably the league's best defensive unit.
