2024 NFL Wild Card Quarterback Matchup Predictions for Each Game | MyBookie Playoffs Preview

2023-24 NFL | 104th season of the National Football League
NFL Wild Card Playoffs: Saturday, January 13th – Sunday, January. 14th, 2023

Joe Flacco vs C.J. Stroud

Browns at Texans
Saturday, January 13th

C.J. Stroud is on his way to becoming a sure fire hall of fame QB. The Houston Texans rookie quarterback was exceptional during the regular season.

But as well as Stroud played, he’s up against a fantastic defense. Not only that, but Flacco has more weapons and much more experience. The veteran QB gets the nod.

Tua Tagovailoa vs Patrick Mahomes

Dolphins at Chiefs
Saturday, January 13th

This is an easy decision. Sure, Patrick Mahomes threw more interceptions this season than any other season in his career. But Magic Mahomes gets to toss the pigskin to Mecole Hardman, Rashee Rice, and Marques Valdez-Scantling.

What does that mean? It means that Travis Kelce is going to be open down the middle against an injured Miami linebacking group. Also, what was Tua thinking throwing that interception to end the game against Buffalo? Tagovailoa can’t be trusted.

Mason Rudolph vs Josh Allen

Steelers at Bills
Sunday, January 14th

Here’s another easy decision. Yes, Mason Rudolph is proving he’s the more capable quarterback than second year pro Kenny Pickett.

But Rudolph goes head-to-head against one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL in Josh Allen. The former Wyoming Cowboy in college, Allen will do whatever it takes to score his club the W. There will be a point where Allen takes over. It could be early because T.J. Watt is out.

Jordan Love vs Dak Prescott

Packers at Cowboys
Sunday, January 14th

Based on experience, Prescott has the edge for sure. However, Green Bay’s defense has been playing much better in recent games.

Not only that, but Aaron Jones is running with fresh legs, which is why Jordan Love dominated the Chicago Bears in NFL Week 18. This is a closer to even match than many believe. Don’t be surprised if Dak is rallying the Boys for a last second field goal victory.

Matthew Stafford vs Jared Goff

Rams at Lions
Sunday, January 14th

If Jared Goff had more weapons than Amon-Ra St. Brown, this would be an even match. Goff is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Stafford, though, has a lot more weapons.

Puka Nucua, Kyren Williams out of the backfield, tight-end Tyler Higbee, Demarcus Robinson, and the great Cooper Kupp will make Staff look good.

Jalen Hurts vs Baker Mayfield

Eagles at Eagles Buccaneers
Monday, January 15th

De’Andre Swift, DeVonta Smith, and A.J. Brown all list as questionable. So does Jalen Hurt. No doubt, Hurts will give it a go, but for how long?

Even if Hurts is okay, the Eagles have shown zero signs of life. They’re a tired bunch, which is bad news for Philly fans because this happens in Tampa and Baker had a decent season. Mayfield has the edge in what should be a Tampa Bay victory.
