Nick Wright dropped his entire list of NFC Playoff picks on X Sunday night, with the FS1 host going against the chalk for an NFC that has the San Francisco 49ers as a heavy betting favorite [-125] to win the conference.
For the Wild Card round, Nick has the Cowboys [-7.5] winning at home vs. the Packers, the Rams upsetting the NFC North champion Lions [-3.5] in Detroit, and the Buccaneers beating a favored Eagles [-3] team that has limped into the playoffs, dropping five of their final six games, and fresh off their pummeling at the hands of the lowly Giants, who knocked AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts out of the game.Â
In the Divisional Round, Nick has the Cowboys winning at home over Baker Mayfield and the surprise NFC South-winning Bucs, and the Rams going into San Francisco and upsetting a 49ers team who has impressive blowout wins over the Cowboys, Eagles, and Bucs.
For the NFC Championship game, Nick picks the Cowboys to beat the Rams in Dallas, and reach their first Super Bowl since Super Bowl 30 of January, 1996, when Dallas beat the Steelers, 27-17 with Hall of Famers the likes of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, and Charles Haley.
