Super Wild Card Weekend Finale: Titans Clash on Sunday

The NFL Wild Card round concludes today with a blockbuster triple-header that features some of the league's most storied franchises and explosive offenses.

Buffalo Bills (No. 6) at Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 3)

Kickoff: 1:00 PM ET

The Bills (12-5) travel south to face the AFC South champion Jaguars (13-4). Josh Allen faces a tough test against a Jaguars defense that has been opportunistic all season. However, Buffalo's offense found a new gear in December.

Key Matchup: Stefon Diggs vs. Tyson Campbell. Diggs has been Allen's safety blanket, but Campbell has emerged as a shutdown corner.

Prediction: Bills 27, Jaguars 24.


San Francisco 49ers (No. 6) at Philadelphia Eagles (No. 3)

Kickoff: 4:30 PM ET

A rematch of the NFC Championship game from a few years ago. The Eagles (11-6) limped slightly into the playoffs but remain dangerous at home. The 49ers (12-5) are arguably the most talented team in the bracket but settled for a Wild Card spot due to the Seahawks' dominance.

Key Matchup: Brock Purdy vs. Eagles Pass Rush. If Philadelphia can disturb Purdy's rhythm, they have a chance. If the 49ers' offensive machine gets rolling, it could be a long day for the home crowd.

Prediction: 49ers 31, Eagles 20.


Los Angeles Chargers (No. 7) at New England Patriots (No. 2)

Kickoff: 8:00 PM ET

The Patriots (14-3) are back on top of the AFC East and looking for another run. They host Justin Herbert and the Chargers (11-6), who secured their spot with a gritty late-season push.

Key Matchup: Drake Maye vs. Chargers Secondary. The rookie sensation Maye has been electric. Can he handle the playoff pressure in his first postseason start?

Prediction: Patriots 24, Chargers 17.
