Hi, today I thought with the playoffs coming, I would write a post about which teams I think will be fighting for the Super Bowl in the 2nd most important games of the year. Some quick crazy news that future hall of fame Colts player Robert Mathis announces retirement after the last game of the season. Here it is:
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION:
Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots:
The Pats and Steelers are going to be on a course to play each other. The Steelers will likely take on the shoe in Dolphins in Pittsburgh for their wildcard game which should be an easy win for them. They would then go on the road to play either the Raiders or the Chiefs but most likely the Chiefs who will probably steal the 2nd BYE spot from the Raiders who now having their starting QB a undrafted backup who can't probably win many games. The Chiefs are good and even though they are at home, they aren't good enough to beat one of the scariest teams in the league. The Steelers would then advance to the AFC championship game to play the Patriots who would only have to win 1 game vs. either the trash Texans who took an easy division down or yet again the Raiders with a backup QB in New England. They should easily win and play the Steelers in the AFC Championship. The Steelers have an insane offense. The best RB in the league Le'Veon Bell, the best receiver in the league Antonio Brown, and one of the best QB's in the league Ben Roethlisberger who is experienced in the post-season. Their D is good enough. The Patriots have maybe the best offense in the league if its not the Steelers O or Falcons O. They have the best QB ever Tom Brady, a great running back in LeGarrette Blount. They have decent receivers with Julian Edleman, Malcom Mitchell, and Chris Hogan and a top 5 tight end in Martellus Bennett. Their D is also good enough. It will be a battle of offenses but it will be truly hard for the Steelers to come in to New England and beat a great offense and a better D then what they have. This will be a fun game to watch and a close one but the Pats will go back to the Super Bowl. PREDICTED SCORE: Patriots 35, Steelers 28!
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION: (ITS SURPRISING :) )
Green Bay Packers @ Seattle Seahawks:
Most people are shaking their heads saying where are the Cowboys and Falcons. No way! Both of these teams will start out wildcard teams but 1 will actually end up being in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks will start out in 3rd seed and play either the Redskins or the Lions but I think its more likely the Redskins. At home vs. a trash shoe in playoff team, the Seahawks will easily win. They will then travel to Atlanta which will be really hard. The Falcons though don't have a huge home field advantage because its not super loud or super cold so the Seahawks will be able to beat the Falcons who they beat earlier this season and make it back to the NFC championship. The Packers I think will start 4th seed and play the Giants at home. The homefield advantage is what will give the win because if it were in New York, the Giants would win but in the cold green bay, the Packers will take down the Giants star powered team. The Packers would then advance to what may be the game of the year in Dallas. With 2 high powered offenses playing and 2 bad defenses playing, the Packers could pull off the win I think and advance in the NFC championship leaving the Cowboys stunned. Then the teams would take on each other. The Seahawks have a good offense with Russell Wilson, Thomas Rawls, Doug Baldwin, and Jimmy Graham. The Packers have the best QB this season, Aaron Rodgers has been on fire lately and will continue using Jordy Nelson as a huge weapon. The Seahawks have a huge edge over the Packers D which is decent but killed Russell Wilson earlier this season. At home though, the Packers won't have enough to be able to sink the Seahawks who have won all but 1 game at home this season including the Falcons who they beat at home. It could easily go to Green Bay, but the Seahawks and Patriots will rematch in the Super Bowl. PREDICTED SCORE: Seahawks 24, Packers 21 OVERTIME!
Thanks for reading.
