D.S. Williamson | MyBookie Sports Writer
D.S. Williamson approaches Wild Card betting through quarterback reliability, matchup leverage, and playoff-tested execution.
His focus is identifying teams built to handle elimination pressure.
🏈 D.S. Williamson NFL Wild Card Picks
NFL Wild Card SU Picks
The Wild Card round is always unpredictable, but I think we can rely on the Rams taking care of business against the Panthers.
I also believe the Bears are in much better shape than the Packers, who limped into the postseason. I’m backing Chicago here.
Finally, I think the Patriots are legitimate contenders this season and should get the job done against the Chargers.
D.S. Williamson SU Card
Rams vs Panthers — SU Pick: Rams
Bears vs Packers — SU Pick: Bears
Patriots vs Chargers — SU Pick: Patriots
NFL Wild Card ATS Picks
I’m generally cautious with big playoff spreads, but I’m comfortable backing the Rams to win convincingly. I like them -10 against the Panthers.
I also believe the Patriots will win by more than the market suggests, covering as a 3.5-point favorite.
Hear me out here. After watching Aaron Rodgers in the fourth quarter last week, it feels like he’s locking in for the postseason. I’m taking the Steelers at home +3.5.
D.S. Williamson ATS Card
Rams vs Panthers — ATS Pick: Rams -10
Patriots vs Chargers — ATS Pick: Patriots -3.5
Steelers vs Packers — ATS Pick: Steelers +3.5
NFL Wild Card O/U Picks
Let’s start with the Bills and Jaguars. If any game has shootout potential, it’s this one. I see this one sailing OVER the 52-point total.
The Texans and Steelers are not efficient offenses. A heavy dose of the run on both sides could push this one UNDER 39.5.
I see a similar script for Patriots versus Chargers, with New England controlling the pace on the ground. That points to the UNDER 46.
D.S. Williamson Totals Card
Bills vs Jaguars — Pick: OVER 52
Texans vs Steelers — Pick: UNDER 39.5
Patriots vs Chargers — Pick: UNDER 46

I also believe the Bears are in better form than the Packers, and I’m backing Chicago.
The Patriots look like the real deal this year, and I like them to advance against the Chargers.

NFL Wild Card ATS Picks
I’m cautious with playoff spreads, but I’m confident in the Rams covering comfortably at -10.
The Patriots should also outperform expectations and cover the 3.5-point spread.
After watching Rodgers late last week, I’m trusting the Steelers at home getting +3.5.
Henry Watkins ATS Card
Rams vs Panthers – ATS Pick: Rams -10
Patriots vs Chargers – ATS Pick: Patriots -3.5

Bills versus Jaguars has shootout written all over it. I like the OVER 52.
