NFL Wild Card Round Playoff Predictions
NFC
Carolina Panthers Vs New Orleans Saints
Division matchups
are always some of the best matchups you will see in the playoffs because both
teams know each other so well and tend to elevate their game when they face off
against each other. This will definitely be one of those games! The Panthers have
been a silent killer all season long, they really haven’t been talked about
much even though they went 11-5. If they were in the AFC they could easily walk
into the Championship game! The Panthers defense has carried them all the way
up to this point because the offense has been very suspect. Outside of Cam
Newton they have no offensive weapons at all! The Saints on the other hand I
believe are the most complete team walking into the playoffs this season. They
are led by a phenomenal defense, they have an excellent ground attack with
Kamara and Ingram, and Drew Brees continues to have another solid season! I
expect this to be a very close matchup and whoever is able to take advantage of
the few opportunities given will win. I believe the Saints are a better team
and more poised than the Panthers and will come out on top in this one!
Saints over Panthers 21-17
Atlanta Falcons Vs Los Angeles Rams
The Rams have
probably been one of the biggest surprises of the season. Not only did they win
their division, but they absolutely dominated for the entire season. The Rams
have been really consistent on offense and defense, and play a well-balanced
game. The Falcons are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. There has
been no consistency at all in any way, you never know what the hell you’re
going to get from the Falcons on game day! I do think this will be a fun game
to watch because I think both teams matchup well against each other and both
teams have a ton of fire power on offense. I have a feeling this game could end
up being a shootout and if that’s the case I give the edge to the Falcons.
While the Rams have a lot of offensive weapons, I think the Falcons are much
better suited to win an offensive battle because of the connection between Matt
Ryan and Julio Jones. The two of them really know how to zone in and I think
are one of the best quarterback to wide receiver duos in the league. Julio
Jones is by far the best receiver in the game because of his awareness on where
he needs to be at every moment in the game, from his hands to his feet he is
always reliable. The margin is slim in this game and the Falcons have a huge
advantage with a player like Julio Jones!
Falcons over Rams 37-27
AFC
Tennessee Titans Vs Kansas City Chiefs
This will probably
be one of the worst games of the weekend because it will be so one sided. The
Chiefs started off strong, but have really cooled off the second half of the
season. They are a Jekyll and Hyde team because you never know what team you
will get on any given Sunday, but with that being said the Titans have
consistently been mediocre all season. They backed their way into the playoffs
and haven’t been consistent in any way, shape, or form. I expect the Chiefs to
dominate this game from start to finish.
Chiefs over Titans 35-13
Buffalo Bills Vs Jacksonville Jaguars
The only people
who care about this game are Bills and Jaguars fans, other than that this looks
like a total snoozefest! The Jags have been one of the surprise teams this
season and have done so with a dominating defense! This defense will dominate
you at the line, have your quarterback running for days or on his back, and
they can cause turnovers for points. On the offensive side of the ball they’re
fairly mediocre and have been up and down throughout the season, but have
played well enough with this stacked defense to get the wins. I have no idea
how or why the Bills are in the playoffs? I guess that just goes to show how
awful the AFC was this season, but here they are fighting for a chance at the
Super Bowl. This one is real simple, for me at least. The Jaguars are a much
better team in my opinion than the Bills because of their defense. I believe
the defense will take over this game and set the offense up with great field
position for the easy score and the Jags will run away with this one.
Jaguars over Bills 28-10
