Las Vegas and Pittsburgh made the cut by the skin of their teeth but the Bengals bested the former on Saturday while the Steelers head to the Chiefs late tonight.
Sunday, so far, has seen the Pats get smashed on road at their bitter AFC East rivals, the Bills. In the NFC West, it's the Cardinals and the Rams on Monday. Kliff Kingsbury and Sean McVay are already under pressure, and one of them will have huge questions to answer when their team falls out of contention.
The Eagles can hurt anyone on their day with that awesome ground game and they may fancy their chances against Tom Brady's defending champions, while Dak Prescott is scorching right now, and will be confident of leading the Cowboys to victory over the Niners.
It's sudden death with all to play for, and here's how to watch an NFL Wild Card Weekend live stream for all of them wherever you are, and all the info you need on the NFL Wild Card Weekend schedule, predictions and the knowledge for rookie watcher on just what is an NFL Wild Card.
What is an NFL Wild Card?
The playoffs only have space for 14 teams, and eight of those spots are taken by each of the division champions. The remaining six are reserved for the wild cards. These are the best of the rest, the teams that weren't consistently good enough to win their respective divisions, but did just enough to make the cut.
On Wild Card Weekend, the wild cards have to play road games against their conference's No.2, No.3 and No.4 seeds, with the lowest-ranked wild card getting the toughest draw. Seven Wild Card teams have gone on to win the Super Bowl, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season.

NFL Wild Card Predictions
Raiders vs Bengals
The Raiders made the playoffs in sensational style and have been springing surprises all season long, but without the Allegiant crowd at their backs, the high-flying Bengals win their first playoff game in over three decades.
Patriots vs Bills
The Bills are on an upward trajectory while the Patriots' form has dipped, but these teams have played each other twice in the past six weeks, and on both occasions there was very little between them. The weather could favor New England, but Buffalo learn from their mistakes.
Eagles vs Buccaneers
The Eagles are the NFL's ultimate rushing team, but there are few better at stopping the run than the Bucs defense. Tom Brady leads the reigning champs to victory, but Jalen Hurts keeps things close.
49ers vs Cowboys
Arguably the game of the round, Dak Prescott is firing on all cylinders, but the Dallas defense is extremely vulnerable against the run right now. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle are the 49ers' stars, but their running backs will be key.
Steelers vs Chiefs
Ben Roethlisberger earned his encore, but he might come to regret it against the Chiefs, who haven't been entirely convincing of late but should have more than enough for Pittsburgh, unless T.J. Watt and the Steelers D can shut down Patrick Mahomes.
Cardinals vs Rams
A strange game between two teams who have been crumbling fast. Matthew Stafford's confidence looked shot to pieces, but without DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk is going to have to step up for Kyler Murray who is bound to come under heavy pressure from the Rams' superstar defense.
How to watch NFL Wild Card Weekend from outside your country
If you're away on vacation or for business and want to watch your home NFL coverage from abroad, then you'll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.

What else can I use a VPN for other than watching NFL games?
Virtual Private Networks are very versatile. As well as letting you watch sport and TV from around the world, their encrypted nature means that the information you exchange on a daily basis online is kept safely away from prying eyes. And streaming VPNs also help to get around website blocking in certain offices, schools and even countries.
But even if you're away from your home coverage, you can always use a VPN to dial back into your country that does have a stream. A VPN is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location. We've tested hundreds of VPNs and can recommend these as the currently available:
