True or false? – Prior to the Wild Card round – 2024 NFL Playoffs
1. Are the Eagles the weakest opponent in the NFC?
After losing 5 of their last 6 games in the regular season, we witnessed one of the biggest collapses in many years. Philadelphia went from contending strongly at the top of the NFC to settling for a Wild Card spot, but even then its ranking has been questioned. After all, they lost to the Giants and Cardinals to close out the year.
Right now they have several injuries that we will see how they affect their lineup for the weekend; QB Jalen Hurts, WR AJ Brown, OT Lane Johnson, etc. The worst thing is that HC Nick Sirianni is far from finding a solution and they face the Bucs who won 5 of their last 6 games of the regular season.

Answer: True.
2. Is Jordan Love the Packers’ franchise QB?
For the second straight season, the Packers defined their situation in Week 18 of the NFL against a division rival. Unlike QB Aaron Rodgers, with almost the same weapons, Love was able to get them into the playoffs with a win against the Bears. With him under center, Green Bay has 7 of 10 wins in its last games and the mere fact of qualifying them exceeded expectations at the beginning of the year. At least he earned another year in charge of the attack.
Answer: True.
3. Are the Browns the dark horse of the AFC?
Every year there are teams that surprise everyone in these instances, even sneaking into the SB unexpectedly. Without their starting QB, without their starting RB, the Browns are in the playoffs this year and closed with an 11-6 record to be a Wild Card. With a top defense and a QB (Joe Flacco) who knows how to get to the SB, anything is possible.
Answer: True.
4. Can the Steelers surprise the Bills?
HC Mike Tomlin managed to get the team into the playoffs after his umpteenth season with a winning record in the NFL. However, on the road they have to visit Buffalo this weekend and they just struggled to beat Baltimore’s reserves.
The Bills are coming off winning their fourth consecutive AFC East title with a spectacular finish. Five weeks ago they were 6-6, but with the resurgence of QB Josh Allen and that defense, they took over second place in the conference. If we add to all this the possible loss of LB TJ Watt, it is practically Everest for the Steelers.

Answer: False.
5. Will Patrick Mahomes revive against Miami?
With their loss last weekend, the Dolphins will have to visit Arrowhead if they want to advance to the round this year. The weather and the fans are very tough at this time of year, but they hope that the uncertainty of Kansas City works in their favor.
Although QB Patrick Mahomes did not have a normal year in statistics, he and HC Andy Reid are old sea dogs at this stage of the campaign. And Miami is usually not as strong outside its stadium.
Answer: True.
6. Will Jared Goff have his revenge against the Rams?
This round will also have an interesting QB matchup in the NFC; On the one hand, the Lions traded QB Matthew Stafford to the Rams in exchange for several NFL Draft picks and QB Jared Goff, who was simply discarded by Los Angeles. In the last two years, both have managed to improve noticeably after this change, and while Stafford has already won a SB, Goff hopes to do the same this time.
This season has been especially strong for Goff because he finished with 4,575 yards, 30 TD passes and 12 interceptions. While Stafford achieved less with 3,965 yards, 24 TD passes and 11 interceptions. But be careful if TE Sam LaPorta cannot play for Detroit, because he is one of their leaders on offense.
Although the possibility of revenge is on the table, his team often has problems defensively and we never know what to expect from the Lions; At times they are unbeatable and then they lose in the strangest ways, especially in games this important.
Answer: False.
7. Will the Cowboys have a walk in the park against the Packers?
Dallas did not lose a single home game playing at AT&T Stadium this season, so it was important for them to be able to win last Sunday to secure the second seed in the NFC and they did it.
On the other hand, we have already talked about the Packers, who are very similar to the Cowboys because both have weakened away from home in recent years. It is true that there was a time when they were eliminated on a visit, but these are different times and at this moment the classification was something enormous, that tells you everything.
Answer: True.
