Here are 20 bold predictions to keep an eye on for the NFL playoffs 2020 during Wild Card Weekend.

After four months of exciting action, the NFL playoffs 2020 will officially get underway in a few days during Wild Card Weekend, and to no one’s surprise, there are plenty of hot topics worth discussing.

With 12 teams set on doing whatever it takes to be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy around this time next month, Wild Card Weekend will kick off the playoffs in one of the best ways possible with all of the exciting matchups scheduled to take place.

From the New England Patriots surprisingly having to play now to the Philadelphia Eagles looking to keep the magic alive, this weekend has plenty of great storylines to look forward to.

But when it comes to the best game of the weekend, chances are it’s going to be difficult to top the first game from the NFC on Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings hit the road to take on the New Orleans Saints.

While no one should be surprised to see these two teams squaring off after putting together successful campaigns during the regular season, one can only imagine how many times the previous meeting in the playoffs between these two teams will be brought up.

Two years ago, the Vikings pulled off the Minneapolis Miracle in the Divisional Round to eliminate the Saints when Stefon Diggs caught a 61-yard touchdown catch as time expired before Minnesota went on to lose in the NFC Championship to Philadelphia.

The circumstances will be completely different this time around since the Saints will be hosting instead of the Vikings, and seeking revenge will be on the minds of New Orleans to help feel a little better about what took place two years ago.
