On the latest episode of the "pick six" NFL show, Pete Prisco and John Breech offered bold predictions for every playoff game. Prisco's picks: Rams win, Eagles lose.
Pete Prisco has made straight-up picks all year, and now he's back with predictions for every wild card game. The veteran quarterback Joe Flacco got the advantage because he had the better defense. The difference is that Flacco has the better defense. Even if the Chiefs offense has struggled, that's a problem against Patrick Mahomes. The Bills are rolling into the playoffs as winners of five straight. The Bills are rolling into the playoffs as winners of five straight. The Packers are playing without T.J. Watt and the Cowboys are playing with great energy. I think the Packers and Love are going to make a game of it. The loose Packers and Love will make a game of this. Matthew Stafford and the Rams will get the best of the Lions defense. The Lions defense will get the best of the Rams, and there will be a lot of points. They haven't looked like the team they were a year ago.
Mike Vrbel is pictured.
The TennesseeTitans parted ways with their head coach on Tuesday after four years and three playoff appearances. The last two years have been a poor one for the team as they went just 13-21 and the brass seemed to want bettercollaboration from its leaders moving forward. There are five logical destinations for Vrabel now that he's on the market.

The two sides did not see eye to eye, despite indications that the two sides did not see eye to eye.
If Jim Harbaugh goes back to the pros, where will he end up? Washington has the most appealing job in the market, so we would consider it the most logical job for Harbaugh to land. The Commanders have the No. 2 pick in the 2024 draft, as well as a league-leading $78.8 million in projected salary cap space. The question is if he wants to do that at 60. Mark Davis loves himself a splashy hire, even though Antonio Pierce won over the locker room down the stretch. While there are big questions at QB, Harbaugh believes the lineup has premium talent in Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby, with a top-15 pick that could be put toward a signal-caller of the future. The Los Angeles went for an up-and-comer. This team is primed to pivot for a "sure thing" with a lineup filled with playoff- ready starters like Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Khalil Mack. Harbaugh, a proven winner and offensive mind who has ties both to the organization and to the area, holds three different coaching jobs in California.
Brock Purdy is a 49ers quarterback.
We ranked the starting signal-callers each week in the season before, but now the field has narrowed to 14. Brock Purdy is the 49ers' top pick. Josh Allen is the Bills' top pick. Lamar Jackson is the Ravens' top pick. Why is the 24-year-old with only two playoff starts at the top? The 49ers have won 19 of the 23 starts he's started since the start of 2022, and while that may say a lot about his setup, it also speaks volumes about his ability to exploit it. The kid does everything well from inside the pocket, but he's also got the slippery legs and high-level confidence to escape traffic and sling it downfield.
