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
