We're offering our best NFL Wild Card Weekend predictions and odds for every playoff game this weekend with the six-game first-round field set and taking place from Saturday through Monday.

Four of the six home teams were favored by the NFL Wild Card Weekend odds, though the Los Angeles Chargers opened the weekend as road favorites over the Houston Texans and couldn't get the job done. The Baltimore Ravens, who played Saturday, had the shortest Super Bowl odds among those taking the field in the wild-card round.

Action continues through Monday night when the Minnesota Vikings visit the Los Angeles Rams after losing out on a first-round bye with their Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions.

He's a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina, where he served as a beat writer for the Tar Heels' championship run through the NCAA men's basketball tournament in 2017. Jackson has spent the last five years covering sports betting as a predictive analyst, features writer, and industry reporter. Since joining the team in 2023, he's played a key role in Sportsbook Review's coverage of the Super Bowl, March Madness, and NBA playoffs while serving as the lead writer for the growing WNBA and NASCAR betting scenes. Though he's cashed some big bets over the years -- including Lamar Jackson to win MVP (twice) -- he's still haunted by enough second-place bet slips to wallpaper his home office. While Jackson is a committed "process over results" bettor with a keen eye for advanced stats and subtle bias in futures markets, he also embraces sports betting as a vehicle for entertainment and personal investment. He's written about everything from hot dogs to groundhogs and still hasn't forgiven his "inside source" for a sabotaged bet on the Gatorade color in Super Bowl LV.
