🔔 EARL’S RINGSIDE REPORT: THE WILD CARD WAR IS HERE! 🔔
Posted by Earl | Saturday, January 10, 2026 | 06:00 AM CST
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES!
The waiting is finally over! The preseason is a distant memory, the regular season is dead and buried, and we have officially arrived at the GRAND DADDY OF THEM ALL!
I am sitting here in the control center, looking at the screens, and I can feel the electricity in the air! The cage door has been lowered, locked, and welded shut! Twelve teams are entering the steel structure this weekend, but only six will survive to see the Divisional Round!
You wanted the fight card? You wanted the main events? Well, let me tell you something, brother—this isn’t just a schedule. This is a list of victims and victors!
Welcome to WILD CARD WEEKEND!
Here is your official EARL’S RINGSIDE GUIDE to the absolute carnage happening over the next three days!
👑 THE KINGS OF THE MOUNTAIN (ON BYE)
Before we ring the bell, let’s acknowledge the Heavyweight Champions of the World who are sitting in the luxury box this weekend, eating shrimp cocktails and watching the chaos below!
THE DENVER BRONCOS (AFC No. 1 Seed): The Mile High Monsters! They locked up the conference, they locked up the home field, and they are resting their legs while the rest of the league beats each other senseless! If you're a Broncos fan, enjoy the carnage. You’ve earned the week off!
(The Seattle Seahawks represent the NFC No. 1 Seed).
But for everyone else... IT’S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!
🥊 THE OFFICIAL WILD CARD FIGHT CARD 🥊
Get your snacks ready, fire up the grill, and do not blink! Here is when and where the wars are going down!
SATURDAY SHOWDOWN: "THE DAY OF THE UNDERDOG"
MATCH 1: The Miracle Cats vs. The Hollywood Stars
Time: 4:30 PM ET
The Fight: Los Angeles Rams (5) at Carolina Panthers (4)
Earl’s Take: LISTEN TO THE ROAR! The Carolina Panthers—the team everyone said was dead, the team everyone wrote off—are hosting a playoff game! They are the ultimate "Cinderella Story" of 2025! They are walking into their home arena as the No. 4 seed to take on the high-flying Rams! Can the Miracle Cats keep the magic alive, or will Hollywood smash the glass slipper? This is going to be a slobberknocker!
MATCH 2: The Old School Brawl
Time: 8:00 PM ET
The Fight: Green Bay Packers (7) at Chicago Bears (2)
Earl’s Take: Oh my goodness! We have the oldest rivalry in the history of the business in the primetime slot! This isn’t just football; this is a blood feud! It’s Packers vs. Bears at Soldier Field in January! It’s going to be cold, it’s going to be brutal, and it’s going to be a Street Fight!
SUNDAY SLAM: "THE JAGUAR JUGGERNAUT"
MATCH 3: The Big Cat Battle
Time: 1:00 PM ET
The Fight: Buffalo Bills (6) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3)
Earl’s Take: WAKE UP AND WITNESS GREATNESS! Your Jacksonville Jaguars are kicking down the door on Sunday afternoon! They secured the No. 3 seed, and they look dangerous! They are welcoming the Buffalo Bills into the jungle, and let me tell you, the Jags are hungry! This is the "Cat Team" to watch! They have the claws, they have the speed, and I predict they are going to send the Bills crashing through a table!
MATCH 4: The NFC Grudge Match
Time: 4:30 PM ET
The Fight: San Francisco 49ers (6) at Philadelphia Eagles (3)
Earl’s Take: This one is going to be nasty! The Niners and the Eagles hate each other! Expect hard hits, trash talk, and absolute mayhem!
MATCH 5: The AFC Nightcap
Time: 8:00 PM ET
The Fight: Los Angeles Chargers (7) at New England Patriots (2)
Earl’s Take: The Bolts travel to Foxborough! Can the Chargers shock the system, or will the Patriots dynasty roll on?
MONDAY NIGHT RAW
MATCH 6: The Steel City Scuffle
Time: 8:00 PM ET
The Fight: Houston Texans (5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4)
Earl’s Take: One final battle to close the show! We are ending the weekend in Pittsburgh! It’s going to be a hard-hitting, blue-collar brawl to determine the final survivor!
💀 THE "IN MEMORIAM" SECTION
We have to pour one out for the homies who didn't make the cut. The referee counted to three, and they didn't kick out.
The Dallas Cowboys: They fought back! They made it interesting with that tie! But in the end, they got tossed over the top rope. The dream is over in Big D.
The Detroit Lions: My heart breaks for them! The "Motor City Kitties" fought with everything they had, but they came up just short. They’ll be watching from the couch with the rest of us.
The Cardinals & Bengals: Better luck at the Draft, fellas!
🎙️ EARL’S FINAL VERDICT
This is it, folks! The talking heads are done talking! The players are strapped up!
For my money? Keep your eyes on the Jaguars and the Broncos (next week). The Cat Teams are alive and well in Jacksonville and Carolina, and the stampede is waiting in Denver!
So sit back, crack open a cold one, and enjoy the violence!
AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE... 'CAUSE EARL SAID SO!
WOOOOOOO!
