What's Wright with Nick Wright · Jan 10, 2026

Nick Wright previews wild card weekend: he expects a Miami–Indiana college football title matchup, currently picks the Rams (with Stafford) to win the Super Bowl, and gives his game picks — Rams over Carolina, Bears over Packers, a one-point Bills win over Jacksonville, Patriots over Chargers by three, and Steelers over Houston.

I think right now my pick would be Matt Stafford in the Rams, but I think Seahawks can do it.
