Playoff Preview

Before you say anything, yes all my that I made predictions at the start of the season are wrong. I am currently in my fallout bunker waiting for Cowboys fans to start crying about losing in divisional round of the playoffs... again. Anyway here is your playoff preview.

AFC Playoff Teams

Titans:How you are the 1 seed? Don't get me wrong you're a good team, but seriously?! Be thankful that you got the 1 seed because Derek Henry is coming back. Ryan Tannehill is fine but for a Super Bowl appearance you will need AJ Brown to show up on every play and not just in garbage time. You could also use another receiver but only if you could have traded for someone before the season that actually played well.

Chiefs: This season has been interesting for the Chiefs. At the start of the season they looked to be suffering a hangover after getting dominated by the Bucs in the Super Bowl. Then they slowly got their momentum back and earned the 2 seed. Patrick Mahomes has been solid and helped my dad win his fantasy league! Tyreek Hill is fast and Travis Kelce is the headmaster at Tight End University! The defense is still descent I guess but who cares its all about the offense for the Chiefs!

Bills: You almost let the Patriots win the division. You did well in all but what happened. Josh Allen was still good but you had no help from any of your running backs.Stefon Diggs was himself but besides that everyone else just had a down year. Good luck in the playoffs I guess. The table destroyers are still out here destroying tables and won't stop until they reach the Super Bowl. The problem for them is that besides Allen they have no running backs. That can make their game one dimensional.

Bengals: We all thought the Bengals were gonna come last In the division.Joe Burrow is really good and he has a good running back in Joe Mixon. The offensive line isn't as bad as last years. The defense is solid I think but the person that deserves credit is Jamar Chase.The chemistry he and Burrow have is insane. Chase has given the offense a true #1 weapon and now they have a chance to win a playoff game. But this is the Bengals and they can never have nice things. They will probably blow it again in the wild card round and lose because someone head hunts someone.

Raiders: How are you here? Your head coach got fired for... well reasons that I could explain but that's not what this article is about. Your best receiver is in or heading to jail, John Madden died(Rest In Peace) you didn't even tie the Chargers so they could also get in. Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs, and Darren Waller. The 3 best players on the team. This is Carr's first playoff game so hopefully he can win it. Also Vegas fans need to stop saying their defense is elite when it certainly is not.

Patriots: HOW! You traded your best defensive player for a third round pick. What playoff team does that? Mac Jones looks to be the best Rookie QB in the league and your defense is still good. The offense is not far behind which has me wondering where this was last year. America wants you to lose but still you can never underestimate them.

Steelers: This is Ben Roethlisberger's retirement game and nothing else. But if it’s close in the last five minutes, all bets are off, and Kansas City sometimes has problems when it gets bored and doesn’t put teams away. This team has more lives than a cat. If they beat the Chiefs I will be impressed, but also mad because I made a bet and the punishment is I have to wear a Steelers jersey.

Game predictions for AFC

Patriots vs Bills: This is the one wildcard game that I can't decide on. These are the two defenses that have let up the least amount of points. Bill Belichick will come in with a plan and I trust him over Sean Mcdermott. But I trust Josh Allen over Mac Jones. Bills win in a nail biter.

Bills:17 Patriots:15

Steelers vs Chiefs: To be clear the Steelers defense is good but it can't make up for the lack of offense. The Chiefs will win like they did earlier in the season.

Chiefs 27 Steelers 10

Raiders Vs Bengals

I should pick the Bengals but whenever they are in the playoffs they do something to screw up.I could pick the Raiders but they will also probably get in their own way. I'm gonna pick the Bengals because Jamar Chase was a fantasy god for me.

Bengals 22 Raiders 16

NFC

Packers: You are just a lame copy of the last dance. Enjoy your week off and eventual conference championship loss. If you don't make the super bowl expect Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and even Matt Lafleur gone.

Bucs: Same team as last year besides that wide receiver who ran off shirtless. Tom Brady is still himself with the best offensive line and Mike Evans. If you lose to the Eagles then I will hate you even more

Cowboys: Dak Prescott is back! He and Ezekiel Elliott are helping Dallas get back to the playoffs. Tony Pollard is emerging to take Elliotts starting spot and Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael "never getting drafted again by me in fantasy" Gallup are all doing well.The defense is led by Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons. They also have Anthony "pass interference" Brown. The Cowboys haven't made it past the divisional round since before I was born. Hopefully that continues.

Rams: This is some all in push. Matthew Stafford was fine but I think a lot of people expected more from you. Still the offensive fire power is insane with guys like Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Odell Beckham Jr. The defense just has guys like Aaron Donald and Von Miller to sack the QB and even Jalen Ramsey to intercept every pass. If you lose then it was because you did too much.

Cardinals: Kyler Murray is the only reason you made it here isn't it? All of your offensive weapons besides him are injured and that same statement could be applied to the defense. If you beat the Rams then you will just lose to the Packers.

49ers:Jimmy Garoppolo is starting even though it’s obvious Trey Lance is the quarterback of the future. The defense is still amazing but the offense has been lackluster. Still, any offense with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle can cause problems. Please just beat the Cowboys.You actually can with Nick Bosa attacking Dak Prescott all game long.

Eagles: You're only here to get destroyed by the Bucs. Yet Jalen Hurts will probably find a way to beat the Bucs and somehow find a way for you to have a deep playoff run. The only thing this season accomplished was saving Howie Roseman's job.

Game Predictions for NFC

Eagles Vs Bucs: Here is how the Eagles win: pass rush. The Bucs o line is good but if Fletcher Cox and the Eagles can make Brady uncomfortable they will win. But the problem the Eagles have had all year is consistency. They could win especially with the Bucs problems at wide receiver. Still I'm gonna say Bucs.

Bucs:23 Eagles 10

Cardinals vs Rams

This is a interesting matchup. The Rams have a lot riding on this game. If they win they can focus on Green Bay. If they lose then everyone will say its because they added too many pieces and most of them will probably leave in the offseason. To be honest I think they won't have to worry about that. The Cardinals are just too injured and don't have enough to beat the Rams. Stafford will finally get his playoff win.

Rams: 17 Cardinals:7

49ers vs Cowboys

This matchup will be closer than you think. The Cowboys are the far better team don't get me wrong but the 49ers have the better coach. I simply don't trust Mike McCarthy in this game. Not to say I trust Kyle Shanahan either but I trust him more that I do McCarthy. I also think the 49ers defense will eat away at that Cowboys o-line. The 49ers however have no offense so that's the other problem. Ultimately in a defensive battle the 49ers pull off the upset.

49ers: 10 Cowboys 9

Super Bowl Prediction

It will depend on the first game.If the Chiefs win then it will be Chiefs vs Rams. If the Steelers find a way to win then based on the NFL season with all of the comebacks and upsets it will be Steelers vs Eagles(my worst nightmare).
