NFL Divisional Round Predictions
Now that the Patriots and Saints have been sent home early, the NFL playoffs have became immensely more interesting. With NFL legends Drew Brees and Tom Brady not getting it done this year, it seems that the tides may be shifting towards the younger generation of QBs. While Aaron Rodgers and Russel Wilson could still hold it down for the old heads. I am more excited to see the emerging stars like Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes. Either way, I am looking forward to seeing how this will all play out.
49ers vs Vinkings
I think that the ground game will be a huge factor in this match-up. I also think that Dalvin Cook is clearly the best RB in this game, but both of these teams have deep and productive backfields. The ground game will be important because both of these QBs rely heavily on play action and deception. However, I think that the San Francisco defense will be the reason that 49ers take this game at home. 24-17 49ers.
Titans vs Ravens
Nothing made me happier than seeing Derick Henry single-handily take down the Pats in Foxborough. However, I think we all knew that this wasn’t the same Patriots team we were used to seeing play in the postseason. While Lamar Jackson’s Ravens have been the best team in the NFL, and I don’t think that Ryan Tannehill is going to be the guy that stops them. 30-17 Ravens.
Texans vs Chiefs
I think that these are the QBs of the future, and both Mahomes and Watson will finish with a couple of super bowl rings before it is all said and done. This makes this one of the toughest match-ups to call. Even with JJ Watt back for Houston, I don’t think that the Texans defense is going to be able to handle the speed of the Kansas city offense. 28-17 Chiefs
Seahawks vs Packers
This is a classic match-up featuring two future Hall-of-fame QBs. Russel Wilson is the ultimate competitor, but the Seahawks have looked disapointing this year. I think that their injuries in the backfield have ruined this season. I don’t believe that they can take down Aaron Rodgers in lambeau. 28-14 Packers
Tell me why I am wrong in the comments.
