Experience shows that only one of last week's Wild Card winners will advance this weekend. Which team will it be? Well, after my performance last week, don't take my picks as Gospel! But here we go.

Texans at Chiefs. The Texans did not exactly look like world beaters in downing the Bills, but they did enough to win. KC represents a step up in class and I don't see how the Texans score enough points to keep up with KC. On the other hand, KC has a well-deserved reputation for flopping in the postseason, even at home (the Tennessee game a couple of years ago, where Marcus Mariotta caught his own TD pass?!). But not this year. CHIEFS.

Titans at Ravens. The Ravens have won twelve in a row, most in dominating fashion. And while I am not sure of them shutting down Derrick Henry, if they do I don't think Ryan Tannehill and the rest of the Titans offense can do enough to win. Make it thirteen in a row for the Black Birds. RAVENS.

Viking at Niners. Kirk Cousins finally got a signature win. For his reward he gets to travel to San Fran. Sure it's Garropolo's first playoff game, but he also has a very strong D to help him out. Don't see the Vikes O doing enough to win. NINERS.

Seahawks at Packers. The Packers.... somehow grabbed the Number 2 seed and a Lambeau home game. I can't put out of my mind those two thrashings they took at the hands of the Chargers (?!) and the Niners though. And they won a lot of nail-biters against inferior teams to boot. And the Sea-Hags... they seem about the only team capable of beating the Niners although they played a woeful home stretch. And c'mon... they had to resign Marshawn Lynch! And maybe the Pack gets revenge for that awful game they never should have lost in Seattle five-six years ago... PACKERS.

There you have them! Good luck to everyone!
