Conference Championships




Conference Championships



AFC- Jaguars at Patriots - People will have you believe that the Patriots are supposed to go, I am not one of those. Sure, they will most likely win the game, but to look past the Jaguars, a really good team, would be bad. They utterly destroyed the Steelers in Pittsburgh, twice. The game last week was close, but not really. Look at the numbers. The Jags scored at will.

the Patriots on the other hand, well they did what they are supposed to do. Win games. Beat teams that are not in their league. Brady looked good, as usual. Will they win? 

I am not so sure this time. If they can not stop the running game, Fournette will have a career day. I honestly, and I hate to say this, but I won't be seeing my New England relatives this week, but I think an upset is in the making. Jaguars 27, Patriots 24


NFC - Vikings at Eagles - Lets be real. The Vikings winning last week was a fluke. I mean they played a great game, but if you play that last play 1,000 times in a row, you couldn't replicate that even once. Now, with that said, the Vikings will be the first to host a Super Bowl, and play in it. The Eagles, could not score a TD last week, and against this defense, with that QB, they don't stand a chance. Vikings 27, Eagles 17

Divisional PLAYOFFS, Yo


NFL Divisional Playoffs 

Saturday

(NBC) Falcons at Eagles -  Records, this time of year, mean nothing. You can be a one seed, and still lose. It happens all the time. The thing is, the Eagles can, and probably will lose. I wouldn't say that if their number one QB was healthy, or if Foles wasn't prone to untimely turnovers. The Falcons, this week, are the better team. They can go into Filthadelphia, and win. I fully expect that outcome. Falcons 24, Eagles 17

(CBS) Titans at Patriots- Now the flip side of that, the Titans, no matter the record, are not better than the Patriots. I would be shocked if the Patriots lost. All of football would be shocked. Up would be down. White would be black. Shocked. Sorry, we won't remember these Titans. Patriots 31, Titans 7


Sunday

(CBS) Jaguars at Steelers - The Steelers are the only team I think that could take down the Patriots. This is a game, where earlier in the season, the Jaguars destroyed the Steelers. Will it happen again? No. The Steelers are much better later in the season. Bortles is going to prove why he is probably done in Jacksonville. Steelers 20, Jaguars 7

(FOX) Saints at Vikings - These two kicked off the season when Adrian Peterson was playing for the Saints and the Vikings were like, nah homie, you aren't having a revenge game here. Since then, both teams marched through their division. Saints found the air game, the Vikings became a well rounded team. I want the Vikings to win, but I think the Saints will be sneak by them. Saints 23, Vikings 20

Wild Card Round






Last Week 8-8. Season 161-106-1





Wild Card Saturday


Titans at Chiefs - Look, the Titans barely made it in. But we know that any team can get hot. The Chiefs, well they seemed to turn it around toward the end of the season. The game is going to come down to defense. Both offenses can get hot, but the Chiefs have a lot more weapons to work with. They should be able to Control the clock, wear the defense down, and leave with a W. Chiefs 27, Titans 17

Bills at Jaguars - The Jags are in the playoffs for the first time in a decade, the Bills, double that. One of these teams will be one and done, and I have a feeling it will be the Bills. They barely made it in, and they are the weakest team in the playoffs. The Jaguars, if they hope to have a chance, get Fournette going early, and make sure Bortles stays in his lane. Jaguars 20, Bills 10

Wild Card Sunday


Falcons at Rams - Last years darling vs this years darling. The Rams have the defense and offense to beat the Falcons. The Falcons, well they have to keep that defensive line from dominating or it's going to be a long day. The Rams need to get Gurley going, and keep the pressure off of Goff. I think this is going to be the best game of the weekend. Rams 31, Falcons 28

Panthers at Saints - The Panthers lost both games to the Saints this season, so I have no reason to believe that they will not win. Of the 20 times since 1970 that teams have met 3 times and one team is 2-0, that 2-0 team has one 13 times. I don't see these Panthers winning. They don't have the defense to hang with the Saints offense. Saints 34, Panthers 17

Happy Wild Card Saturday!
