From CFP Semis to Wild Card Chaos: The Ultimate Weekend Watching Guide
Indiana vs. Oregon: The Peach Bowl Rematch That Changes Everything
If you told me a year ago that we’d be standing here on January 9, 2026, watching Curt Cignetti lead an undefeated Indiana Hoosiers squad into the College Football Playoff Semifinal as the No. 1 seed, I’d have asked for whatever you were drinking at the tailgate. But here we are.
The Hoosiers are 14-0 and already slapped Oregon around back in October. Tonight at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Dan Lanning and the Ducks are looking for blood. Oregon is a 3.5-point underdog, which feels disrespectful for a team with Dante Moore under center, but Indiana’s defense has been a brick wall.
The Wunderfan Take: Everyone is talking about the quarterbacks, but watch the trenches. Indiana’s defensive line lived in the Oregon backfield last time. If they do it again, the Hoosiers are heading to the Natty. Do with that what you will when locking in your picks in the Wunderfan app.
Green Bay vs. Chicago: Soldier Field’s Coldest Rivalry Hits the Postseason
Is there anything better than Packers vs. Bears with season-ending stakes? Saturday night on Prime Video (make note for your Watch to Earn submissions), the No. 2 seed Bears host the No. 7 Packers. Caleb Williams has officially turned the "Monsters of the Midway" back into a nightmare, but you can never count out Green Bay in the playoffs. It’s basically their birthright to ruin Chicago's winter.
The Matchup: Chicago's secondary vs. Jordan Love's deep ball.
The Vibe: Pure, unadulterated hatred.
Wunderfan Tip: Check the app before kickoff. If you're attending the game in that negative-degree weather, you deserve more than just a $15 beer—you deserve getting rewarded your loyalty.
San Francisco vs. Philadelphia: A "Brotherly Love" Bloodbath at the Linc
Sunday afternoon gives us the rematch everyone has been waiting for. The San Francisco 49ers travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Remember when Brock Purdy went down in the 2022 NFC Championship? The Niners haven't forgotten.
The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champs, but they’ve looked shaky. Meanwhile, Kyle Shanahan is playing chess while the rest of the league plays checkers. Expect a physical, nasty game that will probably end with at least one fan base calling into sports radio to demand a trade by Monday morning.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Carolina Panthers: The Stafford Veteran Special
Saturday’s early game features Matthew Stafford leading the Rams into Charlotte. Look, we can be honest—the Panthers winning the NFC South at 8-9 is the most "NFC South" thing to ever happen. They’re 10-point underdogs at home.
Vegas thinks this is a blowout, but the Panthers have been playing "nothing to lose" football for a month. Still, betting against Stafford in a dome-like environment (even if Bank of America Stadium is open air, he brings the heat) is a dangerous game.
Why You’re Doing Fandom Wrong (And How to Fix It)
We spend our lives on these teams. We buy the jerseys, we pay for the Sunday Ticket, we sit in sub-zero temps, and we let a 20-year-old kid’s missed field goal ruin our entire week. For too long, the relationship has been one-sided.
That’s why I’m all-in on Wunderfan. It’s the only place where it pays to be a fan. Whether you're binge-scrolling the latest NFL highlights or just tracking your pick’em results for the week, you’re earning points that actually turn into gift cards and rewards from national retailers.
If you’re going to be screaming at the TV this weekend anyway, you might as well get a little something back for the stress.
