AFC Divisional Round
2. Kansas City Chiefs vs &. Pittsburgh Steelers
This matchup would feature Mahomes vs Duck Hodges and should be a one-sided affair. The Steelers are weakened at this point after losing 3 straight and just can not get over the hump.
My Prediction: KC 41 PIT 27
Simulator: KC 35 PIT 32
3. New England Patriots vs 6. Tennessee Titans
When we saw the winner of this matchup we were shocked, but it is not entirely impossible to see a repeat of this. The Titans played great defense and took down the Patriots by game planning and playing D. I see a possible repeat here.
My Prediction: NE 17 TEN 21
Simulator: NE 17 TEN 29
4. Houston Texans vs & 5. Buffalo Bills
Watson will lead the Texans into a matchup with the Bills and Josh Allen. The first time this matchup happened we saw a lot of defense and I believe this game will have more scoring. Allen scores the game winning touchdown to John Brown.
My Prediction: HOU 28 BUF 34
Simulator: HOU 31 BUF 24
NFC Divisional Round
2. Green Bay Packers vs & 7. Los Angles Rams
The Packers play a game against the Rams, although the Rams are a much lesser team then they were the year before. Ultimately I think the prediction here is a no brainer and the Packers pull out with the win
My Prediction: GB 37 LAR 31
Simulator: GB 34 LAR 21
3. New Orleans Saints vs 6. Minnesota Vikings
When we saw this matchup in the playoffs it was one that was very exciting. This turns into a high scoring affair this time around as the Vikings find a hole in the Saints defense and vice versa. Both QBs have great stat lines and throw 4 TDs each.
My Prediction: NO 48 MIN 47
Simulator: NO 26 MIN 33
4. Philidelphia Eagles vs & 5. Seattle Seahawks
The Eagles once again don’t catch a break in the QB game and Wentz goes down once again. McCown is able to move threw it this time and even throws for a touchdown. Although the Seahawks are able to pull it out with better offense.
My Prediction: PHI 20 SEA 28
Simulator: PHI 21 SEA 27
AFC Divisional Round
