NFL Divisional Round Playoff Predictions

NFC

Green Bay Packers Vs Dallas Cowboys

The Packers are coming into this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the league and are going to be a much better matchup for the Cowboys than when they faced off earlier this season. The Packers have finally clicked offensively between Aaron Rodgers and the wide receivers, but they still have a problem at running back. The Cowboys are coming off of a stellar regular season with two rookie’s leading the way, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Overall the entire Cowboys team has played well throughout the regular season, the offensive line is the best in the league, which in turn has made the ground game the best in the league, Dak has multiple weapons to choose from at receiver, and the defense has been able to lock it down. They have overcome many obstacles during the regular season and I believe that will give them an edge during the post season. The Packers have a great weapon with Aaron Rodgers, he literally carries this team, but the downfall of that is when Rodgers is contained and has a bad game there isn’t anyone else to pick up the team. The Cowboys were able to control the line and contain Rodgers in the last matchup and I expect more of the same this time around. Since the Packers have no ground game it’s tough to take the pressure off of Rodgers and that is when he is more likely to make mistakes. The Packers defense is old and beat up, if their offense is playing like shit, then the Cowboys will be way too much for them to handle. The Cowboys have been playing some of the best football all season as a team they are going to be tough to beat because they are strong physically and mentally, and play team football. The Coaches have the players ready and they all have bought into the system. Those are usually the teams that end up winning it all in the end.

Cowboys over Packers 24-17

Seattle Seahawks Vs Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons had one hell of a regular season, the offense has been unstoppable and the defense has been one of the best in the league. The Seahawks are coming off of a huge win against the Lions, they looked solid on all fronts and this is a team that you don’t want to underestimate in the post season. The one thing that’s been a problem for Seattle is how they play on the road, this entire season some of their worst games are when they play on the road. One thing the Seahawks have finally been able to get going is the ground game, this has been their biggest weakness throughout the season along with the poor play of the offensive line. The Falcons over the years have a history of having a great regular season and then completely tanking in the Playoffs, so it is very difficult for me to have any faith in them in this matchup. While the Seahawks have some glaring weaknesses on offense, the defense is still one of the best in the league and I think are the perfect defense to try and contain this offense. On paper the Falcons are the better team compared to the Seahawks, but when it’s Playoff time I can’t count out Seattle. The Seattle defense is going to be the deciding factor in this game and I believe they will step it up in this matchup and keep it moving into the next round!

Seahawks over Falcons 21-20

AFC

Houston Texans Vs New England Patriots

Well this should be a fun little warm up for the Patriots. I don’t anticipate any kind of legitimate game will be played in this matchup because the Texans are a horrendous team who should not even be here! I have a feeling it’s just going to be touchdowns galore by the Patriots!

Patriots over Texans 41-3

Pittsburgh Steelers Vs Kansas City Chiefs

I haven’t believed in the Chiefs at all this season and I will continue that trend on into the Playoffs! First of all their offense is extremely mediocre Alex Smith is lucky if he can complete a pass over 20 yards and the ground game is not that impressive. Second, their coach is that fat fuck Andy Reid and when the post season rolls around you won’t find him winning, you’ll find him eating fried chicken on the sideline! All jokes aside he has always been terrible in the post season no matter how successful his teams are during the regular season. Third, throughout my entire lifetime the Chiefs are like the Falcons, they dominate the regular season and then bomb in the post season, and I can’t say this enough, but until you prove you can win on a regular basis, I can’t believe in you. They have a great defense and Tyreek Hill has turned out to be a special teams gem, but I don’t think they have a chance against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is steam rolling into this game and their offense is on fire! Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell are all hitting their stride and seem to get better every game. The defense has really stepped it up as well, but when you have this offense on the field scoring up a storm any defense is going to look great! All in all I think the Steelers keep this train rolling into the AFC Championship!

Steelers over Chiefs 31-14
