The NFL Wild Card weekend begins with a pair of Week 1 rematches in the NFC, as the No. 2 Philadelphia Eagles take on the No. 7 Green Bay Packers (+5, 45.5), while the Tampa No. 3 Bay Buccaneers will host the No. 6 Washington Commanders (+3, 50.5). Both home teams are favorites in the Wild Card Weekend NFL odds. Philadelphia won the first meeting, 34-29 in Brazil, while Tampa Bay dominated Washington, 37-20. Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (concussion) of the Eagles and Jordan Love (elbow) of the Packers are recovering from their injuries. Will any of these NFL underdogs pull off an upset to shake up the NFC in the NFL playoff standings?

Top NFL Picks for Wild Card Weekend
After diving into all six games of NFL Wild Card weekend, Cohen is riding high on the No. 4 Los Angeles Rams (+2, 47.5) to defeat the No. 5 Minnesota Vikings on Monday, 23- 19. These two teams met in Los Angeles in Week 8, and the Vikings were coming off a loss to Detroit similar to this week’s. The Rams defeated the Vikings, 30-20 in that game, led by four touchdown passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Monday’s game was moved from Los Angeles to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, due to the California wildfires.
The Rams will lean on wide receiver Puka Nacua, who caught seven passes for 106 yards in that Thursday night game. Nacua played in 11 games and, despite leaving two early, totaled 79 receptions for 990 yards and three touchdowns. Against a loaded Vikings defense, Stafford will be forced to get rid of the ball quickly and look to his standout second-year receiver, as well as former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp. Cohen expects a lower-scoring game than last time, but the same team will emerge victorious.
