WILD CARD WEEKEND

The NFL playoffs have arrived, and with them come six games on a jam-packed wild-card weekend. 

The betting markets, and neighborhood parlors, are just about at full capacity.

And, the old Lobsterman can’t wait.

BOTH the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins are expected to play without their franchise quarterbacks and uncertainty remains over which of their backups would start.

That said, here’s who I like —

  • No. 7 Seattle Seahawks at No. 2 San Francisco 49ers, 4:30 p.m., Fox, Saturday ~ pick: ’49ers by 8
  • No. 5 Los Angeles Chargers at No. 4 Jacksonville Jaguars, 8:15 p.m., NBC, Saturday ~ pick: Jags by2.5
  • No. 7 Miami Dolphins at No. 2 Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m., CBS, Sunday ~ pick: Bills by 13
  • No. 6 Giants at No. 3 Minnesota Vikings, 4:30 p.m., Fox, Sunday ~ pick: Giants by 3
  • No. 6 Baltimore Ravens at No. 3 Cincinnati Bengals, 8:15 p.m., NBC, Sunday ~ pick: Bengals by 6.5
  • Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 8 p.m., ESPN, Monday ~ pick: Bucs by 3.5

Go easy, Sparky.
