Buffalo Bills Vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs have definitely been the team to beat all season. Obviously, when you’re the reigning champs you are the top of the food chain until someone else takes you down and so far, nobody can touch the Chiefs. On offense they continue to drive down the field fast and score at will, and the defense has held it down and made the big play when they need to. You can’t ever let up on the Chiefs even when they are down and look like they have an uphill battle, they still make the comeback look pretty fuckin’ easy! The Bills offense is also nothing to sleep on. Josh Allen continues to get better with every game and at times has been the only thing they have going for them as far as a running game goes. I expect this matchup to be an offensive battle with each team going back and forth trading scores with multiple lead changes. Neither team really has much going for them as far as a rushing attack, so I’m expecting big things from both of the quarterbacks! This game is going to come down to whoever ends up with the ball on the last drive and that usually ends up working out in the Chiefs favor. They are the champs and have proven to be the team to beat, so far, and I don’t believe that will change in this matchup. It should be a great game, but I believe the Chiefs will come out on top with the win and move on to another Super Bowl.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs Green Bay Packers

We just can’t get rid of Tom Brady come playoff time, can we? If this guy makes the postseason he makes it very difficult to eliminate his ass, he’s like the playoff cockroach that won’t go away! You gotta give the dude credit though because he’s still playing at a high level and has his team one step away from the Super Bowl. This week’s task will be a tough one against the Packers who look like the best team in football right now. Aaron Rodgers is ballin’ this season and looks unstoppable, although this Bucs defense is the only team this season to give him some frustrations. He turned the ball over and was under pressure for the entire game earlier in the regular season, but I expect a much different game from the Packers this time around. The Packers seem to have it all together right now and are playing their best football, at the right time. The Bucs have had their moments, but overall they have been very inconsistent at times and if the game starts to get away from them it’s difficult for them to get their mind right and get things back on track. While I expect this to be a great game between two great quarterbacks, I believe the Packers are the better team that have been more consistent and are peaking at the right time in the season.

Cleveland Browns Vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Browns are coming into this game hot and off of one of the biggest games in the history of the team. Their performance against the Steelers last week was great and they deserve all the credit for dominating a division rival. The Chiefs present a much different battle this week and while they have not dominated like they did last season, they’re still the defending champs and still look pretty damn good! The Chiefs offense can basically score at will and even when they’re down for the majority of the game, they’re able to score really quick and make things really uncomfortable for even the most disciplined defense. The Browns have their hands full this week and while they do have the weapons on offense to try and keep up with the Chiefs, I still think the Chiefs have too much firepower for the Browns to overcome.

Chiefs over Browns 31-20

 

Baltimore Ravens Vs Buffalo Bills

This is going to be one hell of a matchup between these two teams because they are both on fire and one of them will actually have to lose. The Bills high flying offense will have their hands full against the Ravens defense who just shut down the league leading rusher last week so you know they ain’t messing around. The big problem for the Ravens defense will be the Bills quarterback Josh Allen who has had a spectacular season through the air and is also very difficult to bring down in the pocket. He is no Lamar Jackson when he gets to running around, but he is big and can take a hit and will take off if he has to. Speaking of Lamar Jackson he is going to be a problem for the Bills defense to contain because he has been playing some flawless football the last month or so and once this guy gets going he is too much for the defense to handle. I expect this game to be a shootout on offense and may even come down to the final drive of the game. In the end I think the Bills will get the win because I think they will have a little too much firepower on offense for the Ravens to handle. There hasn’t been one point this season where the Bills have looked down and out and haven’t been able to overcome, whereas the Ravens have had their troubles when facing off against the top teams in the league.

NFC

Los Angeles Rams Vs Green Bay Packers

The Packers come into the playoffs hot and with Aaron Rodgers playing some of the best football he has ever played in his career. Rodgers makes being a quarterback look easy because when he drops back to pass it doesn’t even seem like he’s the least bit stressed out. It helps that he has the big playmaker Davante Adams at wide receiver and Aaron Jones in the backfield, but you can’t discredit what Rodgers has done this season to carry the Packers this far. The Rams on the other hand have boring ass Jared Goff at quarterback, who was not that good even before he broke his right thumb, but now that he is playing with a broken thumb on his throwing hand, he looks even worse. The dude barely got by against the Seahawks last week and that was thanks to the defense and the poor play from Seattle. This week they face a much better opponent in the Packers. Jared Goff will be put under a ton of pressure from the Packers defense which will setup the Packers for some easy scores. This will put all the pressure on the Rams defense who already have a tough task going up against Aaron Rodgers. I don’t think this game is going to be close at all. The Packers should absolutely dominate the Rams on every level of this game from offense, to defense and all the way to special teams.

Packers over Rams 35-10

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs New Orleans Saints

It is crazy that we are going to see two of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL play against each other for a shot at the NFC Championship game and they’re both in their 40’s! The Saints have absolutely dominated the Buccaneers this season in the two regular season matchups and it wasn’t even close. Although, after the last loss against the Saints that seemed to be the turning point for the Bucs offense. They finally seemed to have found a running game, which in turn has opened up the passing game for Tom Brady. The Bucs defense gets Devin White back this week which is huge because he is the engine of this defense and he will make things uncomfortable for Drew Brees. When Drew Brees is uncomfortable the Saints offense can’t get it going and that’s been evident this entire season. Even in games they have won you can tell Drew Brees is having issues reading the opposing defense and turning the ball over when he normally wouldn’t in the past. The Bucs defense is going to be the deciding factor in this one because I know their offense will be able to hold it down with Tom Brady and the numerous weapons he has on offense. There is always upset in the playoffs and I believe this will be it!

Buccaneers over Saints 28-21

Indianapolis Colts Vs Buffalo Bills

I hope the Colts have their heads on a swivel this week because they gotta face off against dem Bills and they ain’t no joke! The Bills have been, by far, one of the most complete teams this season. On offense Josh Allen is the truth! He has a cannon for an arm and can deliver the most precise pass to his reliable receivers. Stefon Diggs is one of the biggest playmakers in the league and can be a game changer on offense, and the defense is nothing to sleep on either. The Colts are not chumps and I expect them to bring their “A” game to this one, but they’re facing a tough opponent in this round who I think could actually win it all. The Bills are on fire and look like they can’t be stopped and until I see otherwise, I can’t pick against the Bills.

Bills over Colts 28-17

 

Baltimore Ravens Vs Tennessee Titans

This will probably be the best matchup of the weekend because both teams have a similar style of play. First, let’s talk about Derrick Henry, the running back for the Titans. He is a mother fucking beast! It sucks to see he won’t get the MVP because he’s a running back and it’s really difficult to make a case against anyone other than Aaron Rodgers for that award this season, but he did surpass 2,000 yards and that is very special and a difficult thing to do. Derrick Henry is HANDS DOWN the BEST running back in the league and there is no argument on that one! He makes grown men look like little girls on the football field when he tosses them around like rag dolls, which has been very entertaining to watch! The Ravens started off the season looking great, but were cooled off when facing off against tougher opponents. They have picked it back up, but they haven’t proven that they can beat a legit team this season. The edge in this matchup will be Lamar Jackson and how he plays. The Titans defense is mediocre and if he’s able to take advantage of that and shred them up through the air and on the ground, then the Ravens will walk away with this win.

Ravens over Titans 31-30

 

Cleveland Browns Vs Pittsburgh Steelers

A division matchup in the playoffs usually bring some of the best games because both teams have already played each other twice in the regular season and know each other well. The Browns have not reached the playoffs since 2002, so basically this team has already won the Super Bowl because the fans actually have something to cheer for in the playoffs this year! The Steelers started off the season as one of the top teams to beat, but then took a nosedive as the season went on. The ground game really hasn’t been a factor and the wide receivers are dropping every pass that comes their way. The defense has held it down all season and I don’t see them letting up in this one, as a matter of fact, I believe they will be the reason why they win this one. While I’m not too confident in the Steelers right now, I still think they’re better than the Browns. They kicked the Browns ass in the first matchup this season and the Browns could barely get past the second and third string squad of the Steelers last week. I don’t have much faith that the Browns will pull this one out, but they will still put up a good fight.

Steelers over Browns 24-20

 

NFC

Los Angeles Rams Vs Seattle Seahawks

Under normal circumstances, this would actually be a great matchup to watch, but unfortunately the rams starting quarterback, Jared Goff, will not be playing due to injury and his backup, whose name I can’t even remember, will be starting in his place. That alone to me says the Rams are FUCKED! Yes, they do have an excellent defense that was able to hold it down for them last week against a mediocre Cardinals team, but this is the Seahawks, and this is the postseason where they always step it up. While I don’t believe the Seahawks are an unbeatable team, in this situation, I believe that they are. This is the NFL and this is the postseason. Some bum quarterback who just took his first NFL snaps last week is going to have a nice little “welcome to the NFL” moment against the Seahawks this week. Good luck dude you might complete a few passes…to the Seahawks!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs Washington Stupid Fucks

Well, well, well, it looks like Tom Brady is back in the playoffs yet again, but this time around he’s not only on a new team, but also in a new conference! The Bucs have had their ups and downs, but that was to be expected since there was no offseason for this team to get on the same page. It’s actually pretty insane to see Tom Brady continue to play at a high level in his 40’s. When you compare his stats to last season he’s actually improved in every area of his game, which really says a lot about him as a player and why he still has a career at his age. It’s not just Brady though who has got the Bucs to this point, Ronald Jones at running back has literally come out of nowhere to light this offense on fire and the defense is applying the pressure on every opponent. Washington is not a good team at all. The defensive line is stacked, but other than that the offense is vanilla. Alex Smith has had a great comeback from that horrifying leg injury he suffered a couple years ago, but you can tell towards the end of the season he is having difficulties completing passes. If he goes deep the ball flutters in the air and falls short of the receiver and is prone for interceptions, he has no mobility at all, and on top of that is nursing a calf injury which has also made him look very mediocre. I have a feeling this will be a long day for the Washington Stupid Fucks (this is their team name until they actually create a REAL team name, football team is NOT a real team name, figure out a REAL name this is the NFL STUPID FUCKS!) the Buccaneers shouldn’t have a problem moving onto the next round!

Buccaneers over Stupid Fucks 38-13

 

Chicago Bears Vs New Orleans Saints

It’s pretty laughable that the Bears are in the playoffs because this team overall is just straight garbage. The defense, as usual, is the best aspect of this team and has been the main reason why they were able to back their way into the playoffs, but this offense is horrible! They have absolutely no ground attack and Mitchell Trubisky is a very mediocre quarterback. Trubisky can manage the game for the most part, but when the going gets tough he turns the ball over, A LOT! The Saints, on the other hand, are one of the most complete teams in the league. This is the first year that the Saints haven’t had to rely on Drew Brees and his arm to carry them through the season, it was the stout defense and consistent ground game from Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill.  I don’t believe this game will be close at any point other than the first kickoff. The Saints are a far superior team on every level and should easily coast past the Bears.

Saints over Bears 42-10
