NFL Divisional Playoff Predictions
AFC
San Diego Chargers Vs Denver Broncos
It’s kind of
hilarious how the media actually thinks that this is going to be a good game
since The Chargers played The Broncos well in Denver during the regular season
and yeah sure Peyton Manning has been known to choke in the playoffs, but come
on let’s not kid ourselves The Chargers are not a good team and are not even a
legitimate Super Bowl contender. I have a feeling The Broncos are going to come
out the gate scoring and just dominate The Chargers from the start. The Broncos
are a better team from top to bottom and are coming off of a bye week where
they had plenty of time to put together a good game plan to beat The Chargers.
I really don’t think this game is going to be close at any point except for the
coin toss.
Broncos over Chargers 45-10
Indianapolis Colts Vs New England Patriots
The Colts have more
than over achieved this season especially considering one of their leaders,
Reggie Wayne, has been injured for the second half of this season. Andrew Luck
has proven he is a leader and never quits playing until the clock hits zero.
The problem with The Colts is their defense, they can get lit up and that is
not a good thing when you are playing Tom Brady at home. The Patriots once
again dominated on offense this season and also overcame numerous injuries, but
Tom Brady has kept the offense going and here they are back in the playoffs
ready to compete for another Super Bowl. I don’t think The Colts are a team
that is mentally tough enough to go into New England and beat them in their
house and try to contain Tom Brady. The Patriots defense is going to have their
eyes on T.Y. Hilton all day and I believe will take him out of the game forcing
more pressure on Andrew Luck who has been prone to turnovers lately. I think
this game will start off close but The Patriots will start to run away with it
after halftime and win in a landslide.
Patriots over Colts 35-17
NFC
New Orleans Saints Vs Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks, by far,
are the best team in The NFC if not the entire NFL, they have dominated all
season long on offense and defense and play great at home! The Saints have been
up and down this season and have played horribly on the road. The Saints
defense is improved, but has been known to give up some big plays! Earlier this
season New Orleans played in Seattle and got stomped into the ground, Seattle
owned The Saints from start to finish in that game. This is the playoffs so
what happened earlier in the season does not matter, so I do not expect this
game to be an ass kicking at all like the previous matchup. Russell Wilson has
been the leader for the Seahawks this season and has only improved upon what he
accomplished last year and the defense is just as dominant, they know how to
frustrate quarterbacks and cause turnovers for points and that is where I think
Seattle will have the edge because the key to beating The Saints is making sure
Drew Brees is uncomfortable and forcing him into turnovers. The Saints defense
is not good enough to shoulder the load and I feel like The Seahawks offense
will pick them apart all day long.
Seahawks over Saints 35-21
San Francisco 49ers Vs Carolina Panthers
This matchup will be
showcasing two of the most athletic quarterbacks that we have in the league.
Kaepernick’s season has not been as impressive as last season, but he is still
capable of going off whether it be through the air or on the ground. The 49ers
defense has been getting better every single week and I think will step it up
big against Cam Newton this weekend. Cam has had a great season, but the 49ers
defense is just the type of defense that can shut him down and force him to
make mistakes he wouldn’t normally make. The Panthers defense has been tops in
the league and I think will keep Kaepernick in check, but I think the 49ers
will be able to take advantage of what little opportunities will be given to
them over The Panthers. This game I believe will be more about the defense than
the offense and it should be close the whole way through and will come down to
who makes the least amount of mistakes. The 9ers are looking for payback and
this game is the perfect game to serve it to The Panthers!
49ers over Panthers 24-21
