Down to 8 teams now.
Indy vs Houston - Indy moves on. Houston still needs something,cant put my finger on it. Ahem....RB....TE
Cowboys vs Seahawks - Boys were lucky to get out alive as R Wilson is a magician with the football. TD saving tackle on Lockett was the difference. Seattle surprised me this year,,didnt think they would make the playoffs.
Chargers vs Ravens - Chargers almost blew it. Field goals aint gonna cut it next week.
Eagles vs Bears - Heartbreaker for the Bears. Still glad they won. Dont like the Bears. Nick Foles keeps the mojo working. Lucky?
Divisional Round
Dallas travels to LA to meet the Rams.
Keys to game for Dallas - Zeke and defense. Keep the ball out of Goff's hands.
Keys to game for LA - Get Gurley back on track and protect Goff.
My prediction - Rams def is way overrated and Zeke will have a field day against their def. Dallas def underrated and will keep the Rams at bay.
I say Dallas wins a close game
Eagles travel to dreaded New Orleans loud ass stadium. They got demolished last time they played NO.
Keys to game for Saints - Run Kamara and Ingram,set up play action and burn them for long pass gains.
Keys to game for Eagles - Run the ball and shorten game. Cept eagles cant run the ball and certainly wont against top rated run def. Foles will have to play his ass literally off.
My prediction - Saints win in a blowout - No way they travel for 2 weeks straight and beat NO.
Indy travels to Kansas City - P Mahomes vs A Luck
Keys to game for Indy - Exploit their secondary. Balanced attack as KC def is pretty bad. Play great def.
Keys to game for KC - Find ways to get Hill and Kelce open. Defense needs to make stops. I dont think they can.
My prediction - Kansas City wins in a shootout. Very high scoring affair. Colts def is playing great right now but not enough to stop KC and KC wont stop them either.
Chargers travels to New England - Going to be very hard to travel for two weeks for the Chargers while New England has rested.
Keys to game for New England - Protect Brady. Get the ball to Gronk and Edelman. Play good run def.
Keys to game for Chargers - Run the ball. Run the ball. Key on Gronk,get pressure,and run the ball on offense. The key for the Chargers is Melvin Gordon and getting him going.
My prediction - 3 point game could go either way. I think it will be medium scoring and very close within 3-6 points. I give a slight edge to NE being at home and well rested.
My prediction for Championship week.
Kansas City vs New England
New Orleans vs Dallas
Playoff Challenge
As you all probably know by now I have put all my eggs into KC and NO with the exception of Zeke,who I will replace with Ingram once Dallas loses.
Hahaha. I got this.

The Chargers are undefeated this year when out of LA. They went to Tenn, Cleveland, and London three weeks in a row and won them all. Rivers wants revenge for the last time he played in NE playoff. AFC championship game. Our defense is playing better. Seven sacks of Jackson today. They started a stupid prevent to let Ravens back in it. It's going to be fun cuz Marlene has adopted NE as her team as of last year. NE defense is not Baltimore defense and we should pick it up on offense. I see our defense as killing Brady. haha.
Chargers 27 New England 10

I have all NO players except Gordon and Keenan. So it depends on if KC or San Diego got to the final game. It will be Chargers. I predicted Charger / N.O. superbowl at the beginning.

Well the word around here is if Indy wins on Saturday the Chargers have no chance. Goodall and the refs won't allow it. Not going to be a championship game played in Stub Hub and the Colts would have to come to LA.

Not going to be a championship game played in Stub Hub and the Colts would have to come to LA. I think the Chargers have the best team around Rivers that he has ever had. This is his chance to beat a Pats team that looks old and weak in key areas. I think the Colts Defense could limit KC enough and the Colts offense could put up some huge numbers vs the KC Defense. That will be a very entertaining game!!!!! I sure hope that the league stays out of picking a side in the game. I think it would be great to see the Chargers advance to the AFC final, Rivers has been a very good QB for a long time and maybe this will finally be his year. He could take his place among the other SB winning QB's in his draft class. In reality I don't see many teams being able to slow down the Saints, they are the most complete team in football.

The Bolts have the big MO going for 'em, and have for quite sometime. Guess you can say the same about the Colts, but slight edge to the home team, and better defense. I can see either team beating the Pats. Whoever said Rust Never Sleeps (Neil Young?) was on to something. Now.... neither defense is as bad as KC, and they've suffered without Kareem Hunt, if you disagree, you're just wrong. lol What they have going for them is HFA. I honestly think it's anybody's game in the AFC, aside from the Pats. Sadly, I know the Eagle's unlikely win streak will end on Sunday. They won't get beat up like week 11 (?), but no way they can keep up with Drew Brees and his 8 weekly targets. You'd never imagine how NO wound up w/the #1 run D, it's sick. The Eagles almost lost the game last week by trying to run the ball a little too often, and they never gained more than 3 yds or so, total waste of a down. So if they think they're gonna keep doing it in the dome, they are doomed early. Anyway, if the Eagles got past this week, I'd say they had a very good shot at the Rams, who they already beat mid Dec. I'm way more afraid of the Saints at home.

The Eagles will be playing catch up all game so it will be Foles throwing the ball a lot!!! I dont think they will win in a shootout and I dont think they have the D that can stop that NO juggernaut of an offense. Cowboys underrated Defense could hold their own vs the Rams offense and if Gurley does not have a monster performance I think the Cowboys win the game. Rams have not looked the same over the past few weeks. I am not totally objective regarding the Colts but they have a very good Defense and like you mentioned, KC has not been the same since Hunt went Hunting.....ugggg...anyways...Andrew Luck is a big game player and I like how Mack is running the ball. A very well rounded team playing great football. Pats are old and Chargers are the second best AFC team that has beat some top teams in a lot of different ways. They have depth in skill positions and some big play makers. Saints vs Cowboys in NFC Championship Chargers vs Colts in AFC Championship

Gurley with a month's worth of fresh legs. A lot of time to prepare. Supposedly there is no HFA, they might have more Cowboy fans than Rams. I'm fully buying Bolts and Colts though.

Hahaha. I got this.
Really nice work here. Agree with every last thing. If I could notate just one minor exception, and that's getting the ball to Gronk. He's had 18 catches since the week 11 bye, so 6 games. If you take out the Fins game, where he had 8 catches for 107, then he's got 5 games, 10 catches for a tot @ 125 yds, and 1 TD vs. Jets. So IDK if he's hurt and/or how bad. I'm surprised you don't hear more talk about it on NFL Network. But there are a diff team without him. And with Brandin Cooks and Amendola gone, Chris Hogan hit or miss (as are all their other WRs and RBs, with the exception of Edelman and rookie Sony Michel), Brady also looks worse. It's taking longer to progress through his reads, because his options are either covered or are not where he expects them to be. You'd expect the week off could fix some of that. He's to hoping not. haha

Rams give up more yards per carry than any other team in the league, Zeke is the top Rusher in the league. Cowboys will Control the clock with Zeke and play good defense. Things to consider
