NFC
Minnesota
Vikings Vs New Orleans Saints
The
NFC is so stacked with great teams this season that the Saints went 13-3 and
will be playing in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs! In my opinion the
Saints are the best team in the league this season. They have all the pieces to
win a Championship from the great coach, to the hall of fame quarterback, to a
top five wide receiver, to a diverse running back, and capping it off with a
solid defense. The Saints are going to be a tough team to beat for anyone, but
especially for the Vikings. Minnesota had a solid regular season and even gave
Green Bay a run for the Division title, but they fell short. The Vikings
overall are a very good team the offense can be dynamic and the defense is
tough to score on, but there are also times where you watch this team and
you’re like “who the fuck is this team?!” I have a feeling that will be the
team that makes an appearance this week. The Vikings have not played well
against some of the better teams this season and they are about to go up
against one of the best teams in the league. I think the Saints have a bad taste
in their mouths from the way the last two seasons have ended for them, one
being two years ago against the Vikings on a last second play by Stefon Diggs.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a long day for the Vikings.

Seattle
Seahawks Vs Philadelphia Eagles
The
Eagles have been such a horrible team this season, but since they’re in the
worst division in the league this season, they ended up backing their way into
the playoffs! The Eagles have been dealing with a ton of injuries this season,
but so have the Seahawks and they still look like a legit team. Russell Wilson
has had a great season and once again carried the Seahawks offense who have
lost all of their running backs to injury. It’s so bad they had to hit up
Marshawn Lynch and get him out of retirement to give the offense a boost. I
don’t expect him to be a huge difference maker, but it will help to take a bit
of pressure off of Russell Wilson. I don’t think the Seahawks will have a
problem this week because the Eagles are just awful! The Seahawks are a great
road team and should be able to take care of the Eagles without much of a
problem.

AFC
Tennessee
Titans Vs New England Patriots
Well
it’s the postseason and of course the Patriots are here to haunt our dreams!
The Patriots are not the same dominant force we’re used to seeing this season,
but they’re still the Patriots and they know how to win in the postseason.
They’re in luck too because their first opponent is not that great. The Titans
had a Jekyll and Hyde season where you didn’t really know what you were going
to get from them. On defense they are solid as a rock and difficult to score
on. Offensively is where they have been very inconsistent. Derrick Henry has
had a phenomenal season and has just about ran over every defense in his way,
but the quarterback position has been shaky. They started the season with
Marcus Mariota who was just flat out awful and then switched to Ryan Tannehill
who has been solid, but I don’t trust this guy under pressure situations and
this week is going to be the biggest test of his entire career. The Patriots
defense has been the driving force for them this season and Bill Belichick is
the master at taking out his opponents’ strongest player and forcing the rest
of the team to beat them. This is a recipe for disaster for the Titans because
if the Patriots defense is able to lock down Derrick Henry then the Titans will
be in for a long day! While I’d love to see the Patriots lose this early in the
playoffs, I don’t actually believe the Titans are going to be the opponent to
grant that wish! Patriots should win this one in a landslide!

Buffalo
Bills Vs Houston Texans
One
of my favorite things is when the Texans make the playoffs because I know I’m
going to get a good laugh! Throughout their entire history of the postseason
they are notorious chokers and I love it! This season the Texans have been
pretty good, but nothing to brag about. DeShaun Watson is a good quarterback
and I like what he brings to this squad, but apparently the Texans front office
has no interest in providing him an offensive line to prevent him from being
pummeled by the opposing defense. He has been under constant pressure all
season, and while he is great on the run, he is even better when given time to
throw in the pocket. The Bills defense has been a dominating force and is the
main reason why the Bills are in the playoffs. Offensively the Bills have
firepower, but can be anemic at times, which is why they rely heavy on the
defense. The edge in this matchup I believe will be the Bills defense. If they
are able to get at DeShaun Watson and make him ineffective in the passing game
then the Bills should be able to do just enough on offense to get the win. I
will never believe in the Texans until they actually prove something to me and
I don’t believe they will prove anything in this matchup other than the same
old chokers!
