Conference Championship Predictions
NFC
Los Angeles
Rams Vs New Orleans Saints
The
both of these teams are pretty much who we expected to end up in the NFC
Conference Championship because these two teams dominated the NFL from start to
finish, so it’s only fitting that this is how it ends up. It was a crazy game
between them in the regular season and I’m expecting more of the same when they
face off for a chance to play in the Super Bowl! The Rams offense is back in
business and some how got even better with the addition of C.J. Anderson in the
backfield. He is the perfect compliment to Todd Gurley and has opened up this
offense even more for everyone else. The defense stepped it up last week, but
this week they are facing off against an offensive powerhouse. The Saints, to
me, are the most complete team remaining in the Playoffs. It’s really tough to
pick against Sean Payton because he is not afraid to run the risky plays that
get his team going when they need a kick in the ass. It’s always nice to have
the veteran Drew Brees as your quarterback because you know you always have a
chance because he’s able to get it going it any moment even if things aren’t
going his way to start the game. The Rams are coming into this game pissed off
about the last game while the Saints seem focused on this matchup and that can
be a big factor on the outcome of this game. Like I keep saying the Saints are
the most complete team this season and since they’ve already given us one
example of how to kick the Rams ass this year, I’m pretty sure they can do it a
second time!
Saints over
Rams 42-35
AFC
New England
Patriots Vs Kansas City Chiefs
The
Patriots are playing in their EIGHTH consecutive AFC Championship game, that is
an insane statistic whether you like this team or not! Tom Brady still
continues to play at a high level and has his eyes set on another Championship.
The Patriots will be coming into Kansas City to face the highest scoring
offense in the league led by Patrick Mahomes. He has been on fire and has yet
to have a horrible game, although it does help to have Tyreek Hill and Travis
Kelce out there catching the ball and making some big plays. The Patriots
defense is definitely going to have their hands full in this matchup, but if
they play anything close to the way they did last week against the Chargers
then they should be able to make some big plays to keep their offense in it!
One of the things the Patriots have always done best is when one of the great
players begins to fall off like Rob Gronkowski, they always have a new player
who emerges out of nowhere to come in and step up like the rookie running back
Sony Michele. Many people have started to write the Patriots off as being
washed up, but they have proven time and again that they are not. The exact
opposite can be said of the Chiefs, especially their coach Andy Reid. He is a
proven choke artist when it comes to the Playoffs and I believe the edge in
this matchup is going to come down to the coaches and how they game plan. With
that being said the Patriots have the edge and I don’t even need to present any
stats because at the end of the day the best game planner in the NFL is Bill
Belichick and you best believe this dude is ready to shut down the Kansas City
Chiefs and their high powered offense.
Patriots
over Chiefs 38-31
Hoping Chiefs upset them
