For the first time ever, NFL fans will be treated to six Wild Card matchups.

The NFL added two extra playoff teams for this season and the result will be six total games taking place over Wild Card weekend. The schedule for this weekend is:

Saturday

  • Colts at Bills (1:05 ET)
  • Rams at Seahawks (4:40 ET)
  • Buccaneers at Washington (8:15 ET)

Sunday

  • Ravens at Titans (1:05 ET)
  • Bears at Saints (4:40 ET)
  • Browns at Steelers (8:15 ET)

Which games are the most exciting and which ones will have us flipping to other channels when we’re no longer interested? Let’s start with the worst game of the weekend.

6. Rams at Seahawks

This probably wouldn’t have been dead last a few days ago, but now with the news that Jared Goff might not be able to start due to his injured thumb, this game has dud written all over it. Goff wasn’t exactly playing well down the stretch, but Rams vs Seahawks games were almost always a good time with him under center.

We could see John Wolford quarterbacking the Rams instead, which isn’t exactly must-see TV. The Rams’ defense is good enough to keep this game close, but with how badly both of these offenses have struggled in the final few games of the season, this could end up being a really gross game to watch.
