Wild card Football! We have a good three game slate on our hands for the Wild Cards for the playoffs!


Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars

  • The Bills are 1.5-point favorites

  • The over/under is coming in at 51. points.


San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles

  • The Eagles are 4.5-point favorites

  • The over/under is coming in at 45.5 points.


Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots

  • The Patriots are 3.5-point favorites

  • The over/under is coming in at 46.5 points.


 

Quarterback Breakdown

The quarterback spot has Josh Allen up top. He is more than worth it as the main pay-up option, of course. Drake Maye is a tricky option on the slate. Jalen Hurts has the tush-push ability, yes, but the passing attack can be worrisome at times. Trevor Lawrence has been streaky, and the upside is beyond that against the Bills' defense. Brock Purdy is a tough click on the slate that I am not trusting at all. Justin Herbert is last but not least. He is worthy of a dart throw at such a cheap price tag on DraftKings.


Running Back Breakdown

The running spot features Christian McCaffrey. The running defense of the Eagles can be run on, and the pass-catching ability plays a factor. James Cook is a tough click, and I am not high on him in this matchup. Saquon Barkley is in an amazing matchup, and this is the play of the slate. He is the must-play of the slate. Travis Etienne is another great option on the slate, and I love his upside on DraftKings. The Chargers' running backs are scary to play, and Omarion Hampton is questionable coming into the game. The Patriots' running backs are also a tough click. The running back split is still evident, and it is hard to know which one will emerge.


Wide Receiver Breakdown

On the Wide Receivers, we will go team by team. On the Bills, it is all over the place on who to trust this season. My main target would obviously be Khalil Shakir due to the consistency. Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis are playing a decent amount of snaps, but production is lacking. On the Jaguars, Jakobi Meyers is seeing a great amount of targets and is certainly in play. The main play would be Parker Washington, in which he is the number one wide receiver on the team, and it is showing. Brian Thomas is the wild card here, and there's no pun intended! On the 49ers, big news is that Ricky Pearsall is questionable. Jauan Jennings has been getting great looks, and production has been steady. Demarcus Robinson would be an option on the slate if Ricky Pearsall is out. On the Eagles, AJ Brown is priced over DeVonta Smith. One of them will have the better game, and I am leaning towards the floor and DraftKings price tag on DeVonta Smith. Jahan Dotson is a fade to me. Next up, the Chargers are featured by Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. The definition of boom or bust is led by Quentin Johnston. The floor option is simply Ladd McConkey. Kennan Allen is worthy of a dart throw due to the cheap DraftKings price tag. Don't forget about Tre Harris, though, and he is playing some snaps. On the Patriots, Stefon Diggs is overpriced due to this matchup. Kayshon Boutte is questionable, and we need the news on him. This injury would bump up Kyle Williams, and he is a major downfield threat. DeMario Douglas is okay, along with Efton Chism, but neither is a great option.


Tight End Breakdown

The tight end spot is featured by George Kittle, and the matchup isn't ideal for him. The game script is dependent on him. Hunter Henry is okay here, but the main option I am on this slate would be Dallas Goedert. This matchup is amazing for Dallas Goedert. Brenton Strange is slowly coming together, and he could be a major end zone threat. Dalton Kincaid is another good option to pair with Josh Allen. Last but not least, Oronde Gadsden is a tough click.
