Predicting the winners of this week's NFL games.

The Bleeding Green Nation writers picks are in for the Wild Card round of the 2018 NFL Playoffs! Each week we'll predict the winners of each and every NFL game. We'll tally the results along the way and see who comes out on top at the end of the season.

The collective BGN Community finished in first place for the regular season. Now we’ll see how things go for everyone in the post-season as the games could be tougher to predict.

The Philadelphia Eagles are obviously off this week since they have a first-round bye. Their Divisional Round opponent will be revealed based on the outcome of this week’s games. If the Falcons beat the Rams, Philly will host Atlanta. If the Falcons lose, Philly will host the winner of the Saints-Panthers game.

Feel free to post your own predictions or discuss the writer predictions in the comments. You can also vote for who you think will win the games. I’ll tally those results in a “BGN Community” column. Vote in the polls beneath the table. (Click here if you can’t see the polls.)

Let's get to this week's picks!
