While the Las Vegas Raiders aren’t participating, we at least get to watch some playoff football on Saturday, Sunday and Monday with NFL Wild Card Weekend officially kicking off the postseason! Also, our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition continues, as a champion will be crowned soon.

We like Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford to win another Lombardi Trophy, but history suggests they won't cover in Carolina.

The Los Angeles Rams could have added an immediate impact player with their 2025 first-round pick instead of trading it away.

The Panthers won a 31-28 upset when these teams met in Charlotte in late November. Los Angeles is 12-5 against the spread and 10-7 to the Over. Carolina is 10-7 ATS and 10-7 to the Under. The Rams have covered four of their last five and have produced five straight Overs. The Panthers have produced four straight Unders.

Only the AFC South rival Texans, having won nine in a row, are more of a steam train entering the postseason. The Jaguars, however, covered the spread in all eight of their wins; the Texans are 6-3 ATS in their run.

NFL coaches don't like their teams to look ahead, but there's nothing wrong with fans planning ahead in the NFL postseason. When would the Eagles or 49ers play in the NFL divisional round? Where could they play?
