2017 NFL Picks for Wild Card Weekend

I finished up the regular season by going 10-6, which dropped me below 69% overall to end up at 68.75%. Had I correctly picked 4 more games I would have reached my goal of 70% on the year, so not too bad when all is said and done. The Eagles lost to Dallas as my only upset pick last week, which evens me out at .500 for the year (22-22). That means I would have done just as well picking all the favorites each week, but what's the fun in that?

For some reason I picked Baltimore for the second straight week as my PotW, but I figured they'd win with a playoff berth in their grasp. They lost to Cincinnati though, as I end the year 13-4 in that category.

Week 17 saw all division matchups, but very few of them actually had any meaning before kickoff. At least that's my excuse for going 10-6, with my incorrect picks being Washington at the New York Giants, Philadelphia at home against Dallas (upset), Baltimore at home vs Cincinnati (PotW), New Orleans at Tampa Bay, Seattle at home against Arizona, and Denver at home vs Kansas City.

I may do an in-depth post about the regular season, but for now let's move on to the Wild Card round of the 2017 playoffs:
