What Went Down in the Pro Bowl

Hi, today was the pro bowl and I have a lot to say about what happened!


Team Irvin V. Team Rice    My Predicted Winner: Team Rice    Final Score: Team Rice: 27 Team Irvin 49

My predictions were wrong again! Team Irvin dominated in this pro bowl and here is what happened. With Russell Wilson at QB, Irvin's team was looking great because Wilson was really the only good QB open to be drafted. Eli Manning and Derek Carr had some good plays but none could top any that Wilson did. Some players were at their usual business like Marcus Peters who got a great interception and Travis Kelce's awesome TD dances. Allen Robinson had a great game and played amazingly with Wilson at QB. All of the Irvin WR's played great because they finally had a great QB to play with. Like Julio Jones and Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan is not that good same with DeAndre Hopkins and Brian Hoyer. Robinson's QB Blake Bortles is actually great and should have made the pro bowl, so should have Drew Brees, but the fans are weird about voting like by putting Teddy Bridgewater in at QB. Who would ever do that? I'm surprised that Bridgewater is even a starting QB! Team Irvin also had a few interceptions. One of them by Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie was a total fail because he picked off the pass, ran it a few yards and then fumbled it right to team Rice's Doug Martin. Jurrell Casey also had a great interception on Derek Carr near the goal line. An unlikely hero on team Rice was Travis Kelce who had 2 TD catches and some crucial catches. Also his TD dances were as good as ever! Jameis Winston also had some great plays like a big TD pass to Delanie Walker, also a short TD pass to DeAndre Hopkins. You have to watch out for underrated Jameis Winston who is really a great player. Odell Beckham Jr. who everyone thought was going to be great didn't even have one catch. It was a pretty big blowout game and PR Tyler Lockett didn't get much action because the team didn't really punt it much, though he did have one first down catch on a fake punt on fourth down, on his own teammate Richard Sherman. Russell Wilson had a great game scoring 2+ TD's and he took home the MVP trophy. Charles Woodson didn't do much for his last game ever but he will still be always thought of as one of the best safety/cornerbacks ever! It was a blowout pro bowl and with the super bowl coming up soon, there is a lot of commotion going on about if the Broncos can totally upset the red hot Panthers in Super Bowl 50!

Also some quick news that the NFL released that the Raiders could be interested in relocating to Las Vegas.

Pro Bowl Predictions

Hi, I wrote a very long post yesterday about each pro bowl team. In this post I am going to talk about my pro bowl predictions for which team I think will win the Pro Bowl.

Team Rice V Team Irvin   My Predicted Winner: Team Rice  

Before I go into details I am going to say that this is going to be a very high scoring game. With all of the NFL stars playing it is not going to be a low scoring game. Rice has the edge because of some of it's players and their chemistry. Rice drafted Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. and Giants QB Eli Manning. They have great chemistry because they play on the same team and Odell is great with Eli. Rice also drafted QB Derek Carr and WR Amari Cooper, it is the same deal because Derek and Amari have great chemistry playing on the Raiders together and so that will help them connect in pass plays! Rice also drafted Odell Beckham's best friend, Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry. With Landry on the same team rooting for him Odell will be a more confident player in the Pro Bowl. On D Rice got Eric Berry, Charles Woodson, Vontae Davis, Bobby Wagner, Marcus Peters, and Jason Verrett. Those are their D's best players and they will be great. Marcus Peters and Eric Berry are both on the Chiefs and will have their confidence boosted playing together, plus the Chiefs coaches are coaching team Rice so they will be playing their usual schemes. Rice also has no. 1 NFL punter Johnny Hekker who can have great punts and punt returner Tyler Lockett who in my opinion is one of the best returners in the last 10 years, he will make a difference. Team Irvin has some strong players though. Irvin has QB Russell Wilson who is good and under the radar WR Allen Robinson, they also have star WR's DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones who are top 4 NFL WR's! Their D also has Anthony Barr who has had a great year and Richard Sherman who shuts down most good WR's like Rice's Odell Beckham. Irvin has great rookie RB Todd Gurley and breakout RB Devonta Freeman two great backs but then again Rice has got veteran and for sure hall of fame RB Adrian Peterson. Irvin has some great players but Rice has better one's. Rice is set for his pro bowl win and I think they won't dominate but they will win!

Superbowl Bound

Hi, I am sorry that I haven't posted in awhile, I have been caught up on other things. Today after a whole season of waiting we are finally going to see which two teams made Super Bowl 50! Without further waiting here is what happened!

Cardinals @ Panthers   My Predicted Winner: Panthers    Final Score: Panthers 49, Cardinals 15
What a blowout. I thought the Panthers would win but not by that much. The Panthers are the NFC representative in Super Bowl 50 and they had a great game. Everyone knew they would get far in the postseason after their 15-1 finish to the regular season. Cam Newton lead them to the Super Bowl but this game wasn't his finest, he threw only 2 TD's which is little for him and he even threw one interception. He hasn't thrown many this whole season. The Panthers deserved this Super Bowl spot and now you finally know the NFC representative for SB 50!

Patriots @ Broncos      My Predicted Winner: Patriots     Final Score: Patriots 18,   Broncos 20
What an upset! The Patriots won the super bowl last year and have been to the AFC championship the last 5 years in a row!!! Thats crazy. The Patriots were ranked very high on most power ranking lists. The Broncos on the other hand some how won. They started the season off 10 and I think 2 which is really good, most of the season was on Peyton Manning's hands, then they gave backup Brock Osweiler a chance. Osweiler played ok but they ended up putting Manning in again. Somehow the Broncos beat the hot Patriots. Peyton Manning didn't play very well but Von Miller and the rest of the Broncos D did. That is how they won. What an upset but the Broncos are going to the super bowl for the 2nd time in 3 years!

Panthers Vs. Broncos Super Bowl 50:
I think that the Panthers will win this super bowl. Cam Newton has been an amazing QB this year and I think he will have yet another great game in Super Bowl 50, though the Broncos D is the best in the league I think Cam Newton will be able to break it and score lots. The Broncos O is very shaky with Peyton Manning at QB, while the Panthers have rock solid D which is probably 2nd best in the league. If the Panthers O breaks the Broncos D, and the Panthers D breaks the Broncos O, the Panthers easily have won this game. Again I am favoring the Panthers to win the whole Super Bowl!

That is what happened today, and watch this Wednesday night to watch the Pro Bowl draft and then this upcoming Sunday for the Pro Bowl!

My Top Rookies of the Year

Hi, here are my top rookies who I think played best and stood out well this year!

Top 2:
Todd Gurley RB St. Louis/L.A. Rams Final Grade: A+
Drafted Round 1 10th Overall
Even though the Rams had a terrible year this year, one player stood out of their falling offense. Todd Gurley's rookie year was amazing. He ended up ranking as a top 5 RB in the whole NFL which is crazy for a rookie. Todd Gurley can easily go home with the offensive rookie of the year trophy in his hands. I am excited to watch Gurley's next season. Gurley also made the pro bowl which is a huge honor for him!

Marcus Peters CB Kansas City Chiefs Final Grade: A+
Drafted Round 1 18th Overall
Let me start off by saying Peters has the most interceptions of any player this season with a whopping 9! Star CB's like Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis had almost no interceptions this year. Marcus Peters and Eric Berry lead the Chiefs defense this year with all of their interceptions and tackles. Peters is easily the defensive rookie of the year. Peters already in his rookie year takes on top WR's on other teams like Giants' WR Odell Beckham Jr. or Steelers WR Antonio Brown. Peters is the crown of the outstanding Chiefs D and I will look at him next season to see if he has a good follow up to his amazing rookie year. Peters made the pro bowl this season also!

Other Skilled Rookies:
Thomas Rawls RB Seattle Seahawks  Final Grade: B+
Undrafted
Any team who passed up the chance of drafting Rawls was not very smart. When Rawls backed up for injured Marshawn Lynch he shined. Rawls had I think 2 200 yard games and by the end of his season he had more than 4 rushing TD's. A unique thing about Rawls is instead of running out of bounds or sliding down to avoid being tackled Rawls runs straight into defenses trying to get the most of each run. Rawls was a legitimate nominee for offensive rookie of the year but he got injured for the season in one of the Seahawks final games of the regular season. Rawls is a great RB and might be the true starter next year for the Seahawks.

Kwon Alexander OLB Buccaneers     Final Grade: B
Drafted Round 4 124th Overall
Just because Alexander was drafted later in the draft doesn't mean he wasn't going to be good. Alexander had amazing games this season by having lots of tackles and even an interception or two. Alexander had a couple of sacks also. Kwon Alexander had his breakout game against the Falcons where he had tackles I think an interception, and striped and recovered the ball from star Falcons WR Julio Jones. From then on Alexander kept having random good games. Alexander had a great rookie year but was suspended the last few games of the season which hurt the Buccaneers and helped them miss the playoffs which they were so close to making for the first time in forever. Alexander had a great random year and he should be watched as a threat next season.

Tyler Lockett WR/KR/PR Seahawks    Final Grade: A
Drafted Round 3 69th Overall
The Seahawks loved Lockett this season. In the preseason Tyler Lockett flashed his speed and ability by returning a kickoff for a TD and one WR TD. From then on the Seahawks knew Lockett was going to be special, everyone knew that he was one of the fastest players in the NFL already but Lockett showed everyone. By the end of the season Lockett had 2 returns for TD's and 4+ WR TD's. After Jimmy Graham got injured Lockett really shined because he got to play WR more often. Lockett had may 40+ yard returns that set the Seahawks up for big plays. Lockett had an amazing rookie season and made the pro bowl as a KR which is an honor! The Seahawks will look for his skill again next year.

Those are my first 5 rookies of the year who I think had great rookie seasons!

Top Players for the Pro Bowl

Hi, with the Pro Bowl and the Pro Bowl draft happening the week after this week you need to know the best players for the draft.

1. Panthers QB Cam Newton- Cam Newton most likely will be the first overall pick in this year's pro bowl. He is a very fast QB with great passing ability and can also run for a decent gain on each play. He could lead any of the teams to victory.

2. Jaguars WR Allen Robinson- Everyone was really mad when Robinson didn't make the pro bowl considering what a great season he had. Well today I learned that Calvin Johnson got injured and so he is out of the pro bowl and Robinson had the next most votes so he is. Robinson is a great WR and super fast. He will make a big impact on the Pro Bowl team he is on and I think he could have Pro Bowl MVP player in him. Robinson is a great underrated WR who will make an impact on his pro bowl team!

3. Panthers FB Mike Tolbert- Most people never talk about full backs because it is an underused position that just basically backs up the running back. With Mike Tolbert he has turned into basically a starting RB for the Panthers. Even though Jonathan Stewart is great, so is Tolbert. He can run fast and he is great because he can truck through a lot of people. This guy is a under the radar pro bowl star he might shine in the pro bowl if given the chance because like I said, the FB position is underused. 

4. Seahawks PR Tyler Lockett- Lockett's rookie year has been a great one. Lockett has had many memorable returns this year, I think even 2 for a TD and then some 50+ yard returns anyways what I am trying to say is he makes any return into a chance for a TD! He is probably one of the top 3 fastest players in the NFL right now! Lockett's pro bowl team will be loving him because he is a great return man and I think that all of his returns will make an impact on his pro bowl team. For example if Lockett has about a 30+ yard return it will make it easy for his offense to score. Lockett is a player who will impact his team in a underrated position.

5. Raiders S Charles Woodson- This is the last year of Woodson's career. He announced his retirement earlier in the season. Woodson arguably is the maybe the best safety in NFL history. Woodson had a pretty good finish to his career this year and I think he will be great for his pro bowl team. Woodson has made the Pro Bowl before and I think that this year might even be his best one. Since he knows that this will be his last game of his career he might step it up and try to make his last game, one of his best! Even if Woodson doesn't have an amazing last game he will still make it scary for the opposing QB to pass to his side of the field. Even if Woodson doesn't have a memorable last game he will still be remembered as one of the best safeties ever in NFL history!

6. Panthers TE Greg Olsen- Olsen has had one of his best seasons this season. Olsen had found ways to get pretty much all wide open when he plays against other teams no matter how good the defense. Tight ends have always been one of the hardest positions to guard and so when you have a good tight end it pays off. Olsen is a great target and also fights for extra yards. Rob Gronkowski is very overrated and I think Olsen is actually better. With Olsen amazing skills he should be able to be a great pro bowl player and could sneak away with the pro bowl MVP trophy if he plays as well as he usually does.

Those are my 6 players to watch out for in this year's pro bowl and it will be a fun game to tune into. Be sure to watch it. There are other players of course who made the pro bowl but these are some of the best. Watch WR Odell Beckham Jr. in this game also because he is really great!

Is this the End of Marshawn Lynch?

Some people said that if the Seahawks lost to the Panthers, Marshawn Lynch would retire. This is probably true because this season Marshawn has dealt with a lot of tough injuries and I think he could easily get badly injured again if he plays next season. Lynch's contract is running out with Seattle and I think that Seattle won't re sign him and he will either retire next season or get traded to another team desperate for a RB. The Seahawks probably won't re sign him because their undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls had an amazing season backing up Lynch before he got injured and I think that the Seahawks will get him back next season and try to use him as a weapon on offense. I don't know if he will retire or if the Seahawks will trade him but I am pretty sure that next year Marshawn Lynch won't be with Seattle.

NFL Playoffs Divisional Outcomes!

Hi, this weekend was crazy and I am going to talk about each game and who won, not all of my predictions were right and so I will have to say who I think wins each of the next games.

1. Chiefs @ Patriots My Predicted Winner: Chiefs    Final Score: Patriots 27 Chiefs 20
I predicted that the Chiefs were going to go all the way to the Super Bowl and my prediction was wrong. The game was pretty close the whole time. Everyone thought the Chiefs might win because of their hot O and D but their whole team slowed down. On D the Chiefs gave up a ton of yardage and on O the team couldn't drive the ball like they usually do. This was a big problem for them because the Patriots O and D played great despite losing a lot of their last games. With Julian Edleman back, the Patriots are better than they ever could be. Hopefully the Chiefs can get on another roll next season and make the playoffs again because they are a fun team to watch and they are great. But for the 5th year in a row the Patriots are going back to the AFC championship game.

2. Packers @ Cardinals MPW: Cardinals   Final Score: Cardinals 27 Packers 20
What a close game. The Cardinals were favored all the way in this game but it was much closer than fans would have liked. The game started with the Cardinals up but then the Packers scored and got the lead. A while into the game the score was Packers 13 Cardinals 10. The Cardinals stepped it up by scoring a field goal and a TD. It was the 4th quarter with 10 seconds left on the clock. The score was Cardinals 20 Packers 13. They needed a TD to win it, Aaron Rodgers got the snap and broke out of a tackle, 5 seconds left. Rodgers just randomly chucked the ball super high into the end zone and it was CAUGHT BY PACKERS JEFF JANIS FOR THE TD! What a play, the Packers kicked the extra point and the game went into overtime. On 1st down the Cardinals threw a short pass to star WR Larry Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald turned the catch into a 50 something yard gain by breaking at least 3 tackles, he was finally brought down at the goal line. Then the Cardinals scored and kicked the extra point. The Cardinals had won the game and are advancing to the NFC championship!

3. Steelers @ Broncos MPW: Steelers  Final Score: Steelers 16 Broncos 23
This was probably the biggest upset of the day, the Steelers were favored to win because the Broncos made the mistake of starting old QB Peyton Manning. Wrong! Manning had a pretty decent game, scoring a TD or two and leading the Broncos to a win against the favored Steelers. The Steelers were missing RB DeAngelo Williams and WR Antonio Brown two of their best players but 3rd string RB Fitzgerald Toussaint is pretty good also. The Steelers had multiple chances to keep scoring but they somehow let them pass. The Steelers gave up a win that could have been theirs and so there is not much else to say about this game.

4. (GAME OF THE WEEK) Seahawks @ Panthers MPW: Seahawks  Final Score: Seahawks 24 Panthers 31
What a game. This to me was the game of the week. It was such a close game, that left fans of both teams very nervous. The Panthers started the game off by getting the kickoff and they had an ok return. On 1st down pro bowl RB Jonathan Stewart ran 50 yards to the goal line, then the Panthers scored. The Seahawks got the ball and RB Marshawn Lynch got the ball and got tackled down almost for a safety. Then on 3rd down Russell Wilson threw a pick 6 to Panthers pro bowl star Luke Kuechly. Then the Seahawks got the ball back with the score 14-0 Panthers, on 1st down Russell Wilson threw another pick. Then the Panthers O scored. 21-0 Panthers. By halftime the score was 31-0. In the second half the Seahawks made a huge comeback, they scored 3 TD's and a field goal. The score was 31-24 Panthers and the Seahawks were only down one TD. One minute left in the game and the Seahawks kicked an onside kick. The Panthers got it. The Panthers ended the Seahawks season by kneeling down and running out the clock. The Seahawks did lose but TE Luke Willson shined and now I know how underrated he is. There were a few long passes that Seahawks WR's didn't catch that would have won them the game. But for the first time in 2 years the Seahawks won't be going to the NFC Championship!

What a crazy divisional weekend! Next week the AFC championship is Patriots @ Broncos and the NFC championship is Cardinals @ Panthers.
Patriots @ Broncos MPW: Patriots      Cardinals @ Panthers MPW: Panthers
Super Bowl Panthers vs. Patriots MPW: Panthers
According to my predictions, I predict the Panthers win it all!

Lynch in, Brown Out

Hi, today I learned some news about two players who have been ruled to play and not to play in this important weekend of divisional playoffs. Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch has been out almost all season fighting a sports hernia injury and for the first time in many weeks, Lynch is supposed to play this week! He could give the Seahawks a big boost for their tough match up against the Carolina Panthers. But when one good player is in, someone else is not. Steelers #1 WR Antonio Brown has been ruled out with a concussion for the Steelers upcoming playoff game against the Denver Broncos. I have favored the Steelers to win this game but without Antonio Brown it will be harder I still favoring them because the Broncos made the mistake of putting Peyton Manning in at starter. Antonio Brown is a big part of the Steelers O and will be missed by the Steelers as they clash the Broncos for a very tough match up. So, those are two players who have been ruled in and out.

******** I just wanted to tell you the news that today is the final day to vote on my Winners of the Year post and tommorow or Sunday I will be revealing the winners! ********

Three more Coaches are hired!

Today three head coaches were hired on to teams looking for coaches. The 49ers hired ex Eagles coach Chip Kelly, I think he will either give the 49ers a great season or a really bad one. The Eagles hired Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson and I think he will give the Eagles a great season since right now the Chiefs offense is on such a roll that he will lead the Eagles to maybe the playoffs! The Buccaneers promoted offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter to head coach and I am not sure about him because Lovie Smith was a great coach who the Bucs didn't give time to so I think that the Buccaneers won't have a great season and Koetter will most likely be fired after the season ends. Those are 3 bigs coaching changes that happened today and I wanted to inform you!

Browns and Giants make Big Coaching Decisions

What a big day for the Browns and Giants. Both teams today hired new head coaches to replace their old head coaches. The Browns fired ex head coach Mike Pettine for a terrible season and the Giants ex head coach Tom Coughlin resigned after 12 seasons with the Giants. The Browns hired old Bengals offensive coach Hue Jackson who many teams have looked at. He was one of the best people available for coach and many teams had strong interest in him. The Giants promoted offensive coach Ben Mcadoo to head coach and should be a good fit for them. I have heard that the Eagles interest in him pushed them to promote them. I think both teams might have a better season next year. By the way the next couple days are the last days to vote on my winners of the year post and I think I will be revealing winners over the weekend so make sure to get your last votes in so you have a say on who wins each category.

Guess who's moving back to L.A.?

After lots of talk and consideration the St. Louis Rams are going to move back to L.A. . They used to be in L.A. in the 1900s. Next season they will play in a temporary stadium for 3 years until the new L.A. stadium is ready. The Chargers and the Raiders did have a chance to move but the Rams in the end are the team moving. The Chargers and the Raiders will earn $100 million dollars for not moving. So this is a big deal and I wanted to tell you about it so you would know that there will be no St. Louis team next season! By the way I am sorry to keep reminding you but be sure to get your last votes in for my Winners of the Year post because I will be revealing the winners soon.

What Happened in this crazy Wildcard Weekend!

Hi, before I tell you what happened in this first week of playoffs let me remind you to vote in the comments section on my players of the year post to have a say on who wins what!

Hi, what a playoff weekend and I am about to talk about all of it.

1. Chiefs @ Texans My Predicted winner was the Chiefs    Final Score: Chiefs 30, Texans 0.
The Houston Texans lost this home game against the Chiefs and it was just sad, the Chiefs dominated the whole game and the Texans had a few chances to out score the Chiefs but it never happened, Brian Hoyer was the one person to blame for this loss, he had a terrible game having almost no complete passes and at least 3 interceptions. On the Chiefs side, they played amazingly, the first play of the game when the Texans kicked off to the Chiefs, Chiefs kick returner Knile Davis returned the kick for the TD, thats when you knew what kind of game this was going to be. I favored the Chiefs to win and they did, they will be playing the Patriots in New England next week and I am favoring the Chiefs again to win it.

2. Steelers @ Bengals MPW was the Steelers     Final Score: Steelers 18, Bengals 16
Another away team with the win, the Steelers barely won this close game. The Bengals played slow the first 3 quarters while the Steelers showed flares a little bit each quarter. The Steelers lost Big Ben to an injury but then he came back to lead the Steelers to the win. The Steelers O and D played amazingly while the Bengals O and D struggled, with backup QB AJ McCaron in as the starter, the Bengals didn't have much of a chance to win. Even with the Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams out for the game, backup RB Fitzgerald Toussaint played very well and is a great replacement for DeAngelo when needed. Overall the Steelers were the better team and played to the last minute for the win. Next week the Steelers will be playing the Broncos in Denver and I am favoring the Steelers to win against a Broncos team which is starting washed up QB Peyton Manning.

3. Seahawks @ Vikings MPW was the Seahawks    Final Score: Seahawks 10 Vikings 9
WOW, what a crazy game! The Seahawks were favored to win this one by far but in the end it turned out to be SUPER close. The first 3 quarters the Seahawks didn't score at all, by that time the Vikings kicker Blair Walsh had scored 3 fields goals which added up to 9 points. At the start of the 4th quarter the score was Vikings 9 Seahawks 0 but as the 4th quarter pressed on the Seahawks finally scored the first TD of the day on a pass to Doug Baldwin. The score was then 9-7 Vikings. Then the Vikings had a drive and punted it to Seattle, the Seahawks ended up scoring a field goal to finally put them up 10 to 9. With a minute left, Teddy Bridgewater lead the Vikings to the Seahawks 25 yard line. If they had tried harder they could have scored a TD since they were so close to the end zone. Instead they let 4th down creep up on them. Seahawks fans were sad because the Vikings were in field goal range on 4th and there was only 25 seconds left in the game. Vikings fans were going crazy. Blair Walsh kicked the ball and... it missed! The Seahawks barely won it with a crazy win. Next week they will be playing the Panthers in Carolina and I am favoring the Seahawks to win.

4. Packers @ Redskins MPW was the Redskins      Final Score: Redskins 18 Packers 35
The first upset of my predictions this week. The Redskins were favored to win by me and it didn't work out. The Packers played amazingly with Aaron Rodgers finally shining for the first time in a while and Eddie Lacy and James Starks both ran amazingly for the Packers running game. The Redskins started the game off strong and ended poorly. They started by getting a safety on Aaron Rodgers and then a field goal, then they scored a TD to make the game 11-0 them. From then on the Packers made a comeback and dominated the rest of the game. A great comeback for Aaron Rodgers and his Packers. Next week the Packers will be playing the Cardinals in Arizona and I am favoring the Cardinals to win it!

SO, that is what happened this wild card weekend and next week
Steelers @ Broncos MPW: Steelers  Chiefs @ Patriots MPW: Chiefs  Seahawks @ Panthers MPW: Seahawks  Packers @ Cardinals MPW: Cardinals

Breaking News for Buccaneers

The Buccaneers announced yesterday that they were firing head coach Lovie Smith. Most people were surprised because Lovie was a pretty good coach but the Buccaneers ended up not keeping him. Buccaneers players were tweeting what they thought about the team firing Lovie. Most of them were either mad, surprised, sad, or all three. The Buccaneers have had multiple coaches in the last 5 seasons and I think that they should actually give their coaches a chance because this season, Lovie Smith was a great coach and they barely missed the playoffs, only because they lost the last 4 games. I think the Buccaneers should have given Lovie Smith at least one more season to prove himself because Lovie helped the Buccaneers draft Jameis Winston and Kwon Alexander who both made amazing impacts on the Buccaneers O and D.

Here are some other teams who need coaches:

Giants coach Tom Couglin resigned so the Giants need a coach

Browns coach Mike Pettine was fired so they are looking for a coach

Eagles coach Chip Kelly was fired

49ers coach Jim Tomsula was fired

Dolphins fired head coach Dan Campbell

So, those are all of the teams looking for coaches, I hope you liked it!

Playoff Predictions Part 2 AFC

Hi, here are my AFC Playoff predictions:

Wildcard Round

Chiefs @ Texans My Predicted Winner: Chiefs
The Texans are of course a one and done team, they barely won their division with their 3rd string QB and they don't stand a chance against the red hot Chiefs. The Chiefs have been on a 10 game winning streak after starting the season 1-5, they are on fire right now while the Texans have been on and off. The Chiefs will most likely run right over the crumbling Texans with WR Jeremy Maclin who is great and becoming a star and the amazing Chiefs D lead by amazing pro bowl rookie CB Marcus Peters. The Texans again are a one and done team.

Steelers @ Bengals MPW: Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers barely made the playoffs, their win against the Browns this past week gave them the final spot. The Bengals started the season off 8-0 but lately they have not been playing so well. Their amazing star QB Andy Dalton broke his thumb and is out for the rest of the season so ok backup QB AJ McCaaron has been starting these last few games and he has been ok. The last time the Steelers faced the Bengals, the Steelers won and I predict that will happen again even if DeAngelo Williams doesn't play.

Round 2

Chiefs @ Patriots MPW: Chiefs
Like I said earlier, the Chiefs have been on fire lately, mean while the past super bowl winners The Patriots have been stumbling. The Pats started the season off strong with amazing QB Tom Brady playing very well. The Patriots started 11-0 but then won only 1 more game and lost 4. 2 of the teams they lost to were the Eagles and the Dolphins who both suck. The Patriots have been dealing with so many injuries lately and Tom Brady has been playing terribly while the Chiefs have been on a tear and they are 11-5 while the Patriots are 12-4, even if a lot of people think that the Patriots will make the Super Bowl again this year because they won last year doesn't mean that they will, I think the Chiefs will beat them with their red hot team.

Steelers @ Broncos MPW: Steelers
The Broncos made a bad choice last week. After weeks of benching, star QB Peyton Manning was put back into starter after leading the Broncos to one puny win against the sucky Chargers (who they almost lost to anyways). Backup QB Brock Osweiler is much better and Manning is old and tired and can barely throw the ball now, with the young Steelers team, I think that the Steelers will dominate the Manning starting Broncos. The Broncos were better with Osweiler at starter and this choice won't help them in the playoffs against a good Steelers D.

AFC Championship
Steelers vs. Chiefs MPW: Chiefs
This would be a really fun game to watch, two young and great teams facing off for the super bowl. I think that the Chiefs would win this because of their recent winning streak, the Steelers have some great offensive and defensive players on their team, but so do the Chiefs. The Chiefs O and D have been a lot better lately. This is a really hard choice but I feel that the Chiefs would win this one because of their recent wins and their hard work. The Steelers are just pretty overrated but they could easily win this one if they really tried, but it would be hard because the Chiefs are also a really great team!

My Predicted AFC Winner: Chiefs
My Final Super Bowl 50 Prediction: Seahawks vs. Chiefs

That is my AFC Predictions and I hope you liked them, if you want you could write comments about who you think will make the Super Bowl. I might post who I think would win in the Seahawks vs. Chiefs but I don't think I will.

NFL My Playoff Predictions Part 1 NFC

Hi, here are some of my playoff predictions for this year, part 2 AFC is coming soon

NFC
Wildcard Week Predictions

Seahawks @ Vikings My Predicted Winner: Seahawks
The Vikings have had a great season but lately the Seahawks have had a better one, the Seahawks creamed the amazing Cardinals last week 36-6 and the Seahawks played great, even though they won't be at home field for this playoff game, they will win it because earlier this season the Seahawks played the Vikings in Minnesota and beat them 35-7. Teddy Bridgewater can barely throw a deep pass and Adrian Peterson is pretty much the only good player on the Vikings, they are done for after this week.

Packers @ Redskins MPW: Redskins
The Packers have had a down season, Aaron Rodgers hasn't played like his true MVP self and Eddie Lacy has had a terrible year, the Packers lost the division to the Vikings and Jordy Nelson has been out for the season. Not a great year for them, they barely made the playoffs, while the Redskins have had a great year, with Kirk Cousins becoming a star QB and DeSean Jackson and Jordan Reed becoming his top targets, the Redskins have played beastly at home field this year and they have home field advantage for this game. The Redskins also just recently signed CB Cary Williams who was previously a pretty good corner for Seattle, with all of their weapons they should beat the Packers in a home tilt.

NFC Week 2 (predicted)

Seahawks @ Panthers MPW: Seahawks
You might say "your only picking the seahawks because you like them", well for this case that is untrue, the Panthers and the Seahawks faced each other in Seattle earlier this season and the Panthers barely won, since then the Panthers have had a great season, but so have the Seahawks. Even though the Panthers have the best record of any team the Seahawks are rated the most dangerous team in the NFC, with the Seahawks having such a great streak lately I have to give this one to them, but they wouldn't win by much, it would be a close game.

Redskins @ Cardinals MPW: Cardinals
This is the first time the Redskins will be playing an actual good team, the Redskins have had easy match ups the whole season but they will finally be tested with a real hard match up against the hot Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals did have a blowout loss to Seattle this past week but Carson Palmer and his Cardinals can easily out run the Redskins who have barely made their way into the playoffs through a crumbling NFC East division. The Cardinals will use all of their offensive and defensive weapons to beat the Redskins in a playoff game.

NFC Championship (predicted)

Seahawks @ Cardinals MPW: Seahawks (not just because I like them)
This would be a great gam, two teams in the same division fighting for the super bowl. I say the Seahawks win and it is not just because I like them but I truly think they would win this. The Seahawks and the Cardinals have played twice this year already, one game in Seattle in the middle of the season when the Cardinals won and one game last week in Arizona where the Seahawks won. First of all when the Cardinals beat the Seahawks it was by barely anything 39-32 but last week the Seahawks didn't just win, they dominated. 36-6 was the final score and Carson Palmer even threw a pick. Since what happened latest I say the Seahawks win since they have also been on more of a tear lately the Cardinals. This would be a very close game though.

NFC Final Winner: Seattle Seahawks

That is my NFC playoff predictions and I will be posting my AFC post soon, hope you liked it, bye
