Divisional Round Picks!

Hi, today I will be calling the divisional round match-ups and see who advances to the NFC and AFC Championships! Some quick news that Clemson upsets no. 1 undefeated Alabama in the National Championship college football. Here it is:

Texans @ Patriots: Patriots:
Everyone is saying this will be one of the Pats easiest match-ups all season, but it actually could be close. Even though the Pats are the best team in football, Tom Brady can't be perfect vs the no. 1 D in the league. Pro Bowl LB Jadeveon Clowney has been on fire lately and he played great on Tom Brady the last time the Texans played the Pats. The Texans O looked actually decent last week in their big win vs, the Raiders. Brock Osweiler didn't actually throw a pick and DeAndre Hopkins scored a TD! The Pats offense though is so good with top MVP candidate Tom Brady at the helm completing almost every pass. Michael Floyd looks like he could be good in the playoffs and Martellus Bennett is a great tight end. LeGarrette Blount is having an elite season and will play well. The Pats probably have the easy win unless their D shuts down Brady and the Texans O plays as well as it did last week and probably it would need to play even better.

Seahawks @ Falcons: Seahawks:
I don't care if the Falcons have home-field atvantage or MVP candidate Matt Ryan or top receiver Julio Jones. They won't win. The Falcons don't have the best home-field bonus by the way. If you look at team like the Seahawks who has one of the loudest stadiums if not the loudest in the league it is harder for teams to win there. The Hawks offense looked almost as good as the Falcons last week which is good for them because they were having some offensive struggles. Thomas Rawls broke out and the receivers and Jimmy Graham played well. This game will come down to the D. While the Falcons have one of the worst defenses in the league, the Hawks have one of the best. Making Atlanta's strength (their offense) need to work for it. Julio Jones will be tightly covered by the seasons best corner Richard Sherman while Mouhmaed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel will also be covered by breakout corners DeShawn Shead and Jeremy Lane. Kam Chancellor will do his job at safety and the Seahawks key is for Steven Terrell to play well so they don't get beat where Earl Thomas would be. If the Seahawks D struggles and lets the Falcons O make good plays, then it will be harder for the Hawks to win, but they are lucky the Falcons have such a bad D because that is what will get the Hawks the win. Sorry Falcons, this year isn't your year. #UPSETS!

Packers @ Cowboys: Packers:
Everyone says the Cowboys will win, but I don't think so. Did you see the Packers make a good team (the Giants) look like the Browns last week, exposing their top defense and shutting down their offense by covering Odell Beckham. The Packers are the real deal and they are the most dangerous team in the playoffs. Even though Jordy Nelson is out, it doesn't matter, Pack will still win. The pressure of the playoffs maybe too much for star rookies QB Dak Prescott and RB Zeke Elliott. It will be hard for the Boys' to stop the Packers long winning streak. This will be a battle of offenses but in the end, Pack will come away with the upset and move to the NFC championship. #UPSETS!

Steelers @ Chiefs: Steelers:
Even though the Chiefs have the home-field atvantage, the Steelers will win. The Steelers O has been unstoppable lately. Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown have been on fire and won't stop anytime soon. Big Ben is playing well and will be able to connect with all his receivers. The Chiefs do have a top D, but they don't have enough to fend off such a great offense. The Chiefs though have a great shot at winning. Their O has been pretty good too. Alex Smith has looked really good and rookie Tyreek Hill has been insane. He will need to have another big game for the Chiefs to punch themselves a ticket to the AFC Championship game. Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs pass catchers need to catch balls and Spencer Ware needs to expose the Steelers decent D. This will be a close, good game, but the dangerous Steelers will win.

If what happens happens, the championship games will be...NFC: Packers @ Seahawks, AFC: Steelers @ Patriots. The Super Bowl is near and these games will be crucial to what the Super Bowl will look like. Thanks for reading!
