First, I'll do the NFC
NFC South
Now, I love my boy Matty Ice, I think he can lead the Falcons deep into the playoffs, so I like Atlanta right now. Matty is cash dollars at home, 19-1 career, so if they get home field, watch out NFC, youre about to get fucked like a donkey show in Mexico.
New Orleans barely beat the Cowboys, and they are just looking flat, if they can get Reggie looking like the old Reggie in the next week, maybe they'll make a run, but I doubt it. Even Tampa Bay could work some magic, but I think they shot their wad. And Tampa plays Atlanta next week, I think Atlanta makes a statement.
Carolina doesn't even deserve mention.
Winner: Atlanta
might see this handsome face in the Superbowl kids |
NFC North
Green Bay is another contender, say what you want about Aaron Rogers, he is pretty nice and they have overcome more injuries than any team this year, it helps.
Chicago, they are a bust waiting to happen, their record is not indicative of their talent, they blow. And they play New England, the Jets, and at Green Bay to end the season. Good luck.
Minnesota and Detroit are non threats.
Winner: Green Bay
Underrated |
NFC East
This division is always interesting. You got the Giants, who at times look like the best in the NFC, and at times look like my butt. Hairy and useless. But, if Eli stops throwing picks and they clean up the turnovers I think they can be a solid team, that's a massive "if" though. Turnovers win NFL games, and the Giants give it up more than a high school cheerleader.
The Eagles, now here is an interesting team, you have Michael Vick, cooled down since his Monday Night Football messiah-like performance. But he is human, albeit a freak athlete. I think what will save the Eagles is their remaining schedule. They got Houston at home, then at Dallas and then at The Giants,then they go home for the Vikings and Dallas again. I think they can take four of those five with ease. That would give them the division.
Washington is not a team to be ignored, they play well, but they will be irrelevant come week 18.
The Cowboys are about as useless as a poopy-flavored lollipop. New coach or not.
Winner: Philly
Not just a professional dogfighter |
Now for the running joke in the NFL...
NFC West
This division is ugly as sin. Like, I can't even describe how awful this group of teams is. I'll skip the bullshit and just say I like the Rams, I refuse to pick the Seahawks.
Winner of Toilet Bowl: St Louis
Now for the two wild cards in the NFC
I think the Giants and Chicago have solid chances, but Chicago is going to sputter. New Orleans could get their shit together and have a shot at it easily.
Wild Cards: Giants, and New Orleans
So my predicted NFC playoff scheme looks a bit like this
Seed 1 Atlanta
Seed 2 Green Bay
Seed 3 Philly
Seed 4 St Louis
Wild Card 1 Giants
Wild Card 2 New Orleans
Wild Card Weekend
So the Giants play St Louis, at St Louis, sick draw for the Giants, rare easy playoff win for a wild card. Giants move on.
New Orleans Philly in Philly is a sick game. I think Michael Vick will do work but Drew Brees will have his boys ready for the playoffs.Vick in a shootout. Philly moves on.
Playoff Week 2
So the Giants would then play the #1 Seeded Falcons, in Atlanta, sorry G-men but Matty Ice might as well be Tom Brady at home. Falcons move on.
Philadelphia at Green Bay, I love this game. One quarterback getting no love, the other getting too much love. I think this will probably be the best game of the NFC Playoffs that doesn't involve Atlanta. I Think Vick in the cold on the road stumbles, and Green Bay moves on.
So Green Bay goes to Atlanta to play Matty Ice and the birds. In the regular season Atlanta squeaked by 20-17 at home versus the Pack, so it's a pretty close match-up. Again, I think at home the Falcons make a stand. Close game again, but Falcons move on to the Super Dance.
Now the AFC
AFC West
Kansas City is in the lead right now, but San Diego is sort of a hot team that just hasn't really stood out yet. They choked against the Pats, should have had that game. Kansas City is about to go 11-5, they have a vanilla schedule for the rest of the season besides the Chargers, a game I think they lose. Heres the thing, San Diego is going to win out, lookie here. They play Oakland, Kansas City, and San Francisco at home. Then at the dismal Bengals and at the Broncos to finish out. I bet they win out to go 4-2 in the division and 11-5 overall. Now it gets hairy, by beating Kansas City, the Chargers will drop them to 3-3 in the divison even if they win the rest of their games besides the San Diego game. Chargers take the division.
Broncos and Oakland, go fuck yourselves.
Winner: Chargers
My eyes say "Oh fuck, but my arm says FIRE!" |
AFC North
The Ravens and Steelers have a pretty neck-and-neck race going on in the North. I think the Ravens go 11-5, with games against the Steelers, Saints, and a spoiler Cleveland team, I think they give up two of those three. The Steelers are sitting at 8-3 also right now, I think they will lose the division some way, they just haven't been too sharp, losing a game to the Patriots when most people thought they would win pretty handily. They've already lost to Baltimore, and this week they are at the Ravens.
Cleveland could be a spoiler for some teams with playoffs hopes, they could fuck with the bracket, that's about it, as for TO and Ocho in Cincinnati, they'll be golfing real soon.
Winner: Ravens
Yeah I stabbed two peole, what of it? |
AFC South
Now at first glance the AFC South is the most wide open in the league at this moment. The Jaguars and Colts are sitting at 6-5 with Tennessee and Houston at 5-6. Now all these teams play well versus one another, so I think the Jags will stumble towards the end of the season. On the other hand I think Indy gets the kinks out and tromps through the rest of their schedule, with the Titans having QB drama and Houston being just plain mediocre, I think the norm of the AFC South will continue.
Winner: Colts
Pyah! |
AFC East
Saved the best for last. With Buffalo and Miami out of contention, we have the biggest two horse race in the league coming to a head. New England is finding a way to work a new system, two young tight-ends and Deon Branch and a midget in the slot. With the law firm trying to pretend like the Pats have a running game. And The Jets, pre-season shit-talkers and the Sanchize and Rex Ryan and Revis Island. Now, don't say I'm completely biased to the Pats, I'll walk through this part of the prediction slow, and make logical assertions.
The Jets are 9-2 right now and play: Monday Night at New England,home against Miami, at Pittsburgh and then at Chicago, then a home lollipop versus the Bills.
New England is 9-2 and play: The Jets Monday Night, at Chicago, home versus Green Bay, at Buffalo and home versus Miami.
I think the Monday Night Football game is close, one of the best fought games of the year, but it goes to New England. They aren't going to lose to the Jets at home after losing to them Week 2. Tom Brady, at home, is cash dollars. Then I think the Pats win every game except maybe the Green Bay game. I think the Jets only potential loss after that is Pittsburgh away. That game could go either way, if the good Steelers show up, I like them at home, but the Sanchize is tricky beyond his years. Either way, if the Jets lose to the Pats and Steelers and Pats lose to the Pack, Pats take the division. If the Jets lose to the Pats but beat Pitt, and the Pats lose to Green Bay, Pats get the division. If the Jets beat the Pats at home on Monday Night, then they get the division. I think I'll go with my team, yeah yeah yeah I hear you all talking about me having my Pats glasses on, but it is what it is.
Winner: New England
Hows your face bro |
Wild Cards:
Obviously whoever loses the AFC East
1 Jets
Whoever loses the AFC North
2 Steelers
So the AFC Playoff picture is like this:
1 Seed Patriots
2 Seed Baltimore
3 Seed Colts
4 Seed San Diego
Wild card 1 Jets
Wild Card 2 Steelers
Wild Card Weekend
Jets at San Diego, I think the Jets will easily be the best wild card team in the NFL, and i think they show why. Jets move on.
Steelers at Colts. Indy is pretty good in Indy, but Peyton has proven this year good defensive schemes can best him. The Steelers have that in spades, and an offense that can handle the Colts defense. Steelers advance.
Week 2
Pats play the Steelers in New England. Great playoff rivalry here. Tight game the whole way. Pats pull it out in the end if their defense shows maturity. Pats move on.
Ravens get the Jets at home. Another tough match, remember the week 1 10-9 match? I Think this game is tough to call, but I'll say Jets, just to create the potential awesome grudge match of the year. Jets move on.
Now the Pats play the Jets in Gillette for the AFC crown. Hard to beat a team twice times in a season, but the home-field advantage and hatred of Tom Brady will decide this one. Pats move on.
Super Game Thing
Matty Ice, Tom Brady. Two sick quarterbacks, one entering the prime of his career, the other fairly far into his prime. Now they didn't play during the regular season. So there is no comparison directly. I think this Superbowl would be an offensive gunshow. On Atlanta you have Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Michael Jenkins, and Michael Turner running the rock. The young defense of the Pats will have confidence after getting this far, but this is the big dance. On the other side, Brady is throwing to Welker, Branch, and two young tight-ends who cannot be guarded by linebackers or defensive backs really. I anticipate a firing squad for these defenses. And the Pats get Brady his fourth Ring. I know I know but come on, they do look fucking good this year, and they've beaten the Colts, Steelers, and Jets already.
