We\u2019re onto the the second round of the 2025\/26 NFL playoffs and are are down to eight teams remaining after a wildly entertaining Wild Card Playoff round last week.<\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s make our picks:<\/p>\n
SATURDAY<\/p>\n
Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos
I know the Bills aren\u2019t what they should be, but they got Josh Allen and that\u2019s a lot The Broncos are spunky and they will be around awhile, but I expect the road team to win.<\/p>\n

Bills 24, Broncos 20<\/p>\n
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n
The 49ers are a great story and what they have done this season is amazing despite all of their injuries. Kyle Shanahan is amazing. But the Seahawks are really, really good and that\u2019s a tough place to play.<\/p>\n
Seahawks 23, 49ers 16.<\/p>\n
Sunday<\/p>\n
Houston Texans at New England Patriots<\/p>\n
This matchup may not excite everyone, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it ended up being one of the best games of the weekend. And I\u2019m leaning toward the underrated road team.<\/p>\n
Texans 23, Patriots 17.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears<\/p>\n
Bet against the incredible Bears and your own risk. But I think the Rams may be on a mission. This will be fun, either way.<\/p>\n
