Two NFL experts from the Prime Time Sports Talk staff came together to share their picks for the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

It was a bumpy year for the Denver Broncos. The team started off 3-0 but finished with a 7-10 record and made the decision to fire Vic Fangio after his third season with the team.

The NFL playoffs are finally here. The best 14 teams remain, and this week 12 of those teams will play. For the second straight year, there are six games scheduled for the first playoff week. There are some intriguing matchups on the slate.

Two teams lacking any recent postseason success face one another in the kickoff of the 2021-22 NFL playoffs on Saturday. The Cincinnati Bengals host the Las Vegas Raiders in the Wild Card round, and the guys from Jungle Talk are here to preview the game.

The New York Jets rung in a new era in 2021. In the first year of the new program, many challenges inevitably took place. The team finished the season with a 4-13 record.

It’s been an interesting last few years for the Houston Texans. Everyone knows the situation around Deshaun Watson, and with it, came very low expectations in 2021.

In an August 2019 interview, wide receiver coach Brian Hartline echoed, “Garrett Wilson is not even close to scratching the surface [of his potential]”. At the time, Wilson would be a true freshman who showed flashes of potential and playmaking. His polished game should let him hit the ground running in the NFL.

After going 8-9 this season, the Minnesota Vikings have finished with a losing record for the second year in a row. After missing the playoffs, the Vikings made drastic changes this week.

2021 was not the year Baltimore Ravens’ fans anticipated for a myriad of reasons. They missed the postseason for the first time since drafting Lamar Jackson, going 8-9 for fourth in the AFC North.

Expectations were not high for the Atlanta Falcons heading into the 2021 season. This is a team that had just fired its head coach and general manager and was heading in a new direction.

Brock Purdy is a name that has been known across college football for the past four years. Purdy has been the starting quarterback at Iowa State since October of 2018 and is the definition of an experienced quarterback. Being a good college starter has taken Purdy a long way, but we’ll see if his game can translate to the NFL.

With Week 18 of the NFL season in the books, it is time to look at the best performers at each position from last week. It should be a mix of usual suspects and random one-game wonders. With that said, let’s look at the best 11 offensive players and best 11 defensive players from Week 18.
