Decisions for the 2022 NFL season came down to the final week once again, as the Lions' victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday night sent the Seahawks to the playoffs. Seattle was in that position thanks to its overtime win against the Rams. The Dolphins also earned their way into the postseason tournament with a last-minute field goal over the Jets, along with the Patriots' loss to the Bills. Now its time for the 2022 NFL playoffs. The No. 1 seeds in each conference, the Chiefs in the AFC and the Eagles in the NFC will receive first-round byes. The remaining 12 teams will play in next week's three-day wild-card games. Two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and a Monday night finale to be broadcast by ABC/ESPN. Last season's top seeds were upset in the divisional round, and the No. 4 seeds, the Rams, and the Bengals, went to the Super Bowl. The Rams won, but they didn't make it back to the postseason. Everything is on the table. With no clear favorite things could get interesting this post season.

Picks ๐

Jaguars +1.5
The Jaguars are playing their best football of the season. Theyโve won five straight, including a win over Tennessee that sealed the AFC South title. Jacksonvilleโs defense has emerged, holding opponents to under 23 points in four of their past five games. The Chargers only beat one playoff team all season, and that was the 7th seed Dolphins.
49ers -9.5
The 49ers QB Brock Purdy and their offensive strengths can exploit the Seahawks' key weaknesses in the middle of their defense. That includes power running with Christian McCaffrey and working the middle of field in the passing game with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and others. Smith hasn't played well when facing consistent pressure from a four-man rush.
