CJ’s Opinion Checklist: NFL Wildcard Playoffs Weekend

Browns at Texans (Browns -2.5)

  • Better Coach: Equal - I think Ryan’s has done a great Job in year 1 and I respect Stefanski.
  • Better QB : Texans - Stroud is putting up ridiculous rookie numbers this year.
  • Better Defense: Browns - The Browns have one of the best defenses in the league.

 

Dolphins at Chiefs (Chiefs -4.5)

  • Better Coach: Chiefs
  • Better QB: Chiefs - Do I need to explain?
  • Better Defense: Chiefs - The Chiefs defense has been hovering around top 5 all year.

 

Steelers at Bills ( Bills -9)

  • Better Coach: Tomlin - How Tomlin keeps winning with these teams, I have no clue but he just keeps winning somehow.
  • Better QB: Bills - Allen, obviously.
  • Better Defense: Steelers - However, without Watt this could alter the D

 

Packers at Cowboys (Cowboys -7)

  • Better Coach: Equal - Both of these coaches are equal to me. Both have done a good job with their offenses.
  • Better QB: Cowboys (barely!) - I say this very, very carefully, as Jordan Love is ascending into a really good top tier QB this is just year 1 he is 2nd behind Prescott in passing TDs this year. I give Dak the edge only because of experience. I can see this changing next year
  • Better Defense: Cowboys - They have a top rusher in Parsons and are a top D in this league.

 

Rams at Lions (Lions -3)

  • Better Coach: Dan Cambell - I like Mcvay a lot but Cambell and his OC Ben Johnson are the better duo of coaches in this game.
  • Better QB: Stafford
  • Better Defense: Detroit (slightly)

 

Eagles at Buccaneerss (Eagles -3)

  • Better Coach: Sirianni - Not a huge fan of the guy but he invented the "tush push" 🤷‍♂️
  • Better QB: Hurts - I think Hurts had some regression which was due this year but I still but him above Mayfield.
  • Better Defense: Buccaneers 

Hope you guys enjoy this first week of wildcard NFL games leading up to the Super Bowl!
