Our Wild Card picks are in for the first round of the 2026 NFL playoffs!
Bleeding Green Nation staff members are here to predict the winners of every game on the schedule. We’ll tally the results along the way and see who comes out on top at the end of the season. Feel free to post your own predictions or discuss the writer predictions in the comments.
You, the reader, can also join in on the fun by voting for who you think will win the games (scroll down for polls). I’ll tally those results in a “BGN
Community” section under our picks table generated by Tallysight.
After Week 18, the collective BGN Community is entering the playoffs as the regular season champ … for the second year in a row! But there’s still time for the overall winner to be decided over the next few weeks. Jonny Page continues to lead the BGN staff.
When it comes to this week’s Philadelphia Eagles game against the San Francisco 49ers, the BGN staff is clearly siding with the Birds. The Eagles originally opened as three-point home favorites and the line has continued to shift in Philly’s favor; the spread for this game is now Eagles -4.5 (per FanDuel Sportsbook). The Eagles are favored by as much as 5.5 points in some other places.
