Titans Wire’s staff picks for Super Wild Card Weekend

Our staff makes its picks for Super Wild Card Weekend.

Super Wild Card Weekend (can we drop the “super” already?) is upon us and while the Tennessee Titans aren’t in the playoffs this year, our staff is still going to make picks for the wild-card games.

The playoff schedule begins on Saturday with two games, the Seattle Seahawks versus the San Francisco 49ers (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Los Angeles Chargers versus the Jacksonville Jaguars (8:15 p.m. ET).

On Sunday, we’ll have three more contests, with the Miami Dolphins meeting the Buffalo Bills, New York Giants facing the Minnesota Vikings, and the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Baltimore Ravens.

Last but not least, Super Wild Card Weekend will culminate with the Monday night contest between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are the No. 1 seed in each conference, thus they have a bye this week.

Without further ado, our staff picks for this week’s playoff games.

Eagles’ Lane Johnson cuts a WWE style promo with the Golden Title ahead of playoffs

A wrestling fanatic and future Universal Champion, watch as Eagles’ Lane Johnson cuts a WWE-style promo with the Golden Title ahead of the NFL playoffs

Lane Johnson is one of the most charismatic players in the NFL and the Eagles’ right tackle will surely have options once his football career comes to an end.

Johnson is a former Oklahoma Sooner and has a tight relationship with WWE Hall of Fame announcer, Jim Ross.

During the 2021 NFL offseason, Johnson sat down with Trey Wingo to discuss a potential future with the WWE.

“Jim Ross, J.R., was an announcer for the WWE. He was always at our games and he would just whisper in my ear every now and then, ‘hey, if football doesn’t work out, I got you a spot,’ ” Johnson explained. “So I feel like in my heart I want to be a wrestler, but we’ll see what happens when this football’s done. But, yeah, I would love to. It’s something you never have to grow up in, just seems like a lot of fun.”

A Pro Bowl and All-Pro right tackle, Johnson has been rehabbing an abdominal injury over the past three weeks but looks to be in phenomenal physical shape.

Johnson received a gift while at his ‘Bro Barn’ recently, unveiling his new WWE Golden Title.

Staying in character ahead of the Wild Card round and NFC Divisional round, Johnson cut this amazing promo putting everyone on notice.

The 6-foot-6, 317-pound Johnson would be an imposing character and could lean on his Texas roots and relationship with Stone Cold Steve Austin to build a solid niche.
