With the playoff matchups now set, SportsLine expert Eric Cohen has made his exact score predictions for all six games, plus his predictions for his predictions for the rest of thte playoffs. Before you lock in any NFL picks, make sure you see what Cohen has to say. 

A SportsLine expert and host, Cohen is evaluating the entire NFL playoff slate and delivers score predictions and logic for each matchup. Cohen went 180-91-1 (66%) on his NFL straight-up picks this season, and was a sizzling 10-3 (77%) on his straight-up NFL playoff picks last season!

For the 2026 NFL Wild Card Weekend, Cohen likes the Jaguars (+1.5) to cover and win outright against the Bills in an AFC Wild Card matchup on Sunday. 

"Winners of nine of its last 10 games, I have a hard time picking against Jacksonville at home," Cohen said. "Buffalo's passing game is devoid of weapons and the Jaguars boast the NFL's top rush defense to slow Josh Allen and James Cook. While Allen and the Bills are 5-0 in the Wild Card Round since 2020, all five of those games have been at home. Trevor Lawrence has played at an MVP level since November and it will continue this weekend. The Jaguars win on a walk-off Cam Little field goal from 50+ yards. If this result plays out as I anticipate, Sean McDermott won't be back to coach Buffalo next season." Jaguars 27, Bills 24.

In addition, Cohen is picking one small favorite to win by a whopping 13 points, leading to his favorite spread play of the weekend! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see which game this is before locking in any NFL score predictions!
