Washington finally actually did it people! After nearly two decades of no playoffs wins Jayden Daniels did what seemed in possible for so long. It’s honestly hard for me to explain/describe how meaningful this win was not only for me but our long suffering fan base. Of course it didn’t come easy as the Cardiac Commanders flair for the dramatics continued, winning the game with a field goal off the uprights as time expired. Now believe me I could write an essay about this game but as always this isn’t a Washington blog it’s a gambling blog. That said with Washington winning the moneyline bet hit but alas the Over did not. As for the earlier games, in the first game of the day the Bills dominated easily covering at home against Denver. However the midday matchup didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I was actually pretty spot on with my write up but my bias and unwillingness to bet the Eagles cost us. Jordan Love was absolutely terrible and despite the Eagles trying their best to keep it close, the Packers desire to lose was stronger. Now before we move on to the Divisional Round we got one more Wild Card to bet on so let’s get into it.
Vikings @ Rams (ML)
Once again this pick will be coming with a little bit of bias. A big reason I’m riding with the Rams is to support my cousin Jesse. There are fewer sports fans more passionate than him and I’d love to see his team get a win. That said I also actually like the Rams in this spot. Not only because the Rams proved they could beat the Vikings earlier in the season but also because I have no faith in Sam Darnold. In recent weeks we’ve seen him turn into the pumpkin we all thought he was. Also even though I enjoy slandering Matthew “Not in my Hall of Fame” Stafford he’s proven that he can win in the playoffs and he has all his weapons at full health. Now as for the bet itself I could’ve taken the +2.5 but scared money don’t make money and my plums are telling me the Rams win this one. So let’s end this Wild Card weekend with one more win.
Rams ML (+120)
