Here are my takes on this week's Wild Card Round NFL matchups.
The Rams, who have the talent and depth to dominate, should be able to take down their Panthers foes. While the Panthers had a strong outing in Week 13 when they ran it 40 times for 164 yards and Bryce Young completed 15 of 20 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, I still think they can't replicate that success.
The Packers, meanwhile, are looking to make some noise in the playoffs but I believe their injury-plagued roster is going to hold them back. With Parsons, Kraft, Jenkins, and Wyatt all out, it's hard to see how they'll be able to contain Jalen Watson. The Bears have the league's best turnover differential, which will help them secure a crucial victory.
I'm also not putting my money on the Bills in this one. They're an unimpressive team that might just rely on their rushing attack. On the other hand, the Jaguars are looking hot and have won eight straight games with a plus 153 point differential during those contests. I think they'll be able to take down Buffalo.
Lastly, the 49ers should be able to handle their Eagles counterparts but will likely struggle to contain the pace of this game. I'm picking Philadelphia here too.
In the end, I have faith that Houston's defense can keep things close in this matchup against Pittsburgh, and I think the Texans are due for a win after being under the radar for so long.
My survivor pick is simple: just go with the Rams.

. Just imagine playing against the Panthers or the Packers? Our team's defense would need to be on point for sure! 
But anyway, it sounds like the Rams have a good shot at beating their opponents, I'm not surprised though... they've had that level of talent and depth all season long 
the Packers might be short-handed but they got some serious talent comin' off da bench 
. And don't sleep on da Bills yet, dey been quietly makin' plays all season 
, and their O-line's lookin' solid 
.
Can't believe anyone's picking them to win, they're just not that good.
! They've got that crazy talent and depth, and they should be able to take down the Panthers pretty easily. The Packers are having some major injury issues right now, which doesn't bode well for their playoff run 
. And don't even get me started on the Bills - I mean, who wants to watch a team rely solely on rushing? 
They should be able to handle the Eagles, but it's gonna be a close game because Philly is looking fierce. And lastly, Houston's defense might just be enough to keep things close against Pittsburgh... fingers crossed for the Texans! 
Please, they can't even stop themselves from getting destroyed by most teams! And what's with the Jaguars' hot streak? They're just due for a collapse next week. 
Their 8-game winning streak seems too good to be true... mark my words, they'll lose to Philly in the playoffs. 
this matchup is gonna be super close tho, 49ers vs eagles is gonna be wild!!!
