No longer do we get cookies like the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Denver Broncos, but that doesn't scare our experts. Heading into wild-card weekend, there are four games to make a call on. Some of the teams involved are highly battle-tested like the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints, while others are relative newcomers, such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

For our experts, some games were harder to decipher than others. Of our six pickers, only one went with the Saints and none picked the Packers to win at Lambeau Field. The San Diego Chargers were also only picked once, as they are a 7.5-point road underdog against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The toughest game seems to be the Indianapolis Colts hosting Kansas City. The vote is split on this one, perhaps because both are 11-5 and tough to figure out.
