6 games over 3 days, what more could you ask for? Here are the top 10 things to watch for this weekend!

10. No home field advantage?

Not to make light of the fires in LA. Prayers up to everyone there. But this is an odd situation where the Rams don’t really have a road game. That stadium is usually 50/50 for the Rams game anyway and the Vikings fans travel really well. This could turn into a very friendly Vikings crowd.

9. Does Herbert playoff drought end or continue?

Justin Herbert is a highly praised quarterback that has won absolutely nothing. Does that change this weekend against a struggling Texans team? The one playoff game Herbert has played in he was up big at halftime and then lost in the second half to a AFC south team. Will history repeat itself?

8. Does Josh Allen continue to dominate wild card weekend?

Allen has never lost this round going 4-0. Will he make it 5-0 against my wife’s Broncos?

7. Does Baker bake?

Baker has played 4 playoff games, going 2-2. But he has been solid in all of them. Can he continue to play lights out? He better, because the Bucs Defense is not good.

6. Does Lamar lose his playoff stigma?

Lamar has been awesome in the regular season. Not so much in the playoffs. This week he said he gets too excited when the playoffs come. Nothing is more boring than the Steelers playing so this should be a good game for Lamar.

5. Does Sam Darnold fold under the pressure?

Darnold has been awesome all year long…until the biggest of the game season last Sunday night. Can Sam redeem himself? Or we the Ghost of Sam Darnold past show up again?

4. Happy wife…stressful life?

If the Broncos win, my wife will be a very happy person and the number 2 seed will be eliminated. This should make me happy too, right? Well the bad news is if the Broncos win, then they come play at Arrowhead the following week creating perhaps the most stressful Chiefs playoff game yet at the Campbell house. Which is saying a lot because most of the Chiefs playoff games are stressful.

3. Road Rookie Quarterbacks break the streak?

Rookie Quarterbacks are 0-7 in the last 7 games that they have started on the road. Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix will try and break that streak.

2. Sibling Rivalry:

The Eagles host the Packers. My son is a die hard Packers fan. My daughter cheers for the Eagles although she would rather not watch football at all. However, she relishes in beating her brother in anything. This is a lose, lose as a parent. Here is hoping my son doesn’t break anything if the Packers lose…especially what will be his mouthy sister.

1. Who gets to lose in the divisional round to the Chiefs?

Pat is 6-0 in the divisional round. So I feel good about next weekend regardless. But we do have a lot of different options. Will it be the Chargers for a 3rd time? Or the Texans for a second time? Or the boring Steelers for a second time? Or to my wife’s delight, the Broncos for a 3rd time? Regardless, it will be familiar territory.

Look for my predictions tomorrow on Five for Friday!
