Reese, Pam and Alex speak with Ian Parks to discuss his NFL picks for this Wild Card weekend and discuss some matchups.

Ian Parks from Always Bet On Black w/ Ian Parks joins the Sports Shop to share his picks in the NFL. Who will win this weekend: Chicago Bears or Green Bay Packers? Los Angeles Chargers or New England Patriots? Houston Texans or Pittsburgh Steelers? Will Rome Odunze record more than 35.5 yards?

The (8-9) Carolina Panthers and the (12-5) Los Angeles Rams are set to meet tomorrow in an NFC Wild Card playoff matchup that opens Wild Card Weekend. Carolina enters as the NFC South champion and will host the game at Bank of America Stadium, earning a home playoff spot despite a (8-9) sub-.500 regular-season record. The Panthers are back in the postseason for the first time in about a decade and are coming in with confidence after defeating the Rams earlier in the season. Can the Panthers beat the Rams tomorrow?
