NFL Picks are back! Just in the knick of time for the 2024 NFL Playoffs.

After an intense Wildcard Round, many of the favorites won, except one NFC North squad — the Minnesota Vikings. After a miraculous 14-3 regular season, the Vikings squared off against the 10-7 Los Angeles Rams.

In complete control from the jump, the Rams waltzed into the Divisional Round after a 27-9 victory over Minnesota. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked five times and now enters free agency for the 2025-26 season, according to ESPN.

Now, let’s take a look at the latest standings:

Gabrielle and Hunter – 139 points

Amanda – 138 points

Nick – 134 points

Shalom – 131 points

Shane – 127 points

Justin – 123 points

Nina – 121 points
