NFL Predicitions

Everyone else is making predictions so why not?

Saturday:

Ravens vs Broncos:
What a sad day it will be throughout the NFL when Ray Lewis plays his last game in a Raven uniform. Unfortunately, I think that day will be Saturday. The Bronco offense led by hall of fame QB Peyton Manning is too much for this banged up Ravens defense, I think the Broncos pull it off.

Packers vs 49ers
The 49ers look better and better every time they suit up for game day. Towards the end of the second half of the Viking Packer game last Saturday, the Packers did not perform as well as they should have. Also, the Packers hasn't faced a DE as athletic as Aldon Smith since J.J. Watt, and he will tear up this Packer offensive line. Smith will have a huge game with the help from colleague Justin Smith.

Sunday:

Seahawks vs Falcons
The Falcons looked great in the first 12 games of the season, going 11-1 in that span. But down the stretch they lost to a struggling Panthers team and at home against a Tampa Bay team who finished 7-9.  That is not a great way to head into the playoffs. On the other hand, the Seahawks have won 6 in a row, over that time beating San Fran and the Redskins. I think the Seahawks will pick off Matt Ryan 3 times, sending Ryan's playoff record to 0-4.

Texans vs Patriots
The Houston Texans were sleep walking on December 10th, letting up 42 points opposed to the measly 14 points they managed to put up on the board. This game won't be that lopsided, because I believe that the Texans will be ready. But they have one issue, Tom Brady. With Gronkowski coming back from the broken arm, he will chew up this Texans secondary, ranked 29th in the league against the pass

NFC Conference Championship

Seahawks vs 49ers
The classic division game. What else can you ask for in a conference championship. Two stingy defenses going up against each other. The 49ers defense had 9 guys on their roster that played over 90% of the snaps over the course of the season. I think that this game that will catch up to them and the Seahawks offensive line keeps the San Fran defensive line in check. Marshawn Lynch will have over 150 yards, and the Seahawks will pull of the upset.

AFC Conference Championship

Patriots vs Broncos
The Broncos have a very good pass attack, along with a balanced running attack. But the Patriots have the same combination as well. This match up between two hall of fame QB's is one of the best playoff games we will ever witness. Although these quarterbacks will both have stellar performances, the RB match-up will be the one to watch. That will be the decisive match-up to see who wins the game. I predict that Steven Ridley will have the better game, carrying the Patriots to the Super Bowl.

SUPER BOWL
Seahawks vs Patriots
This stellar rematch from the regular season has a classic super bowl for the ages. The Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson and future Canton, Ohio statue Tom Brady.  Russell Wilson is a rookie QB, therefore making it his first super bowl. The Patriots are lead by a veteran coach who knows how to win. Sorry, but the Wisconsin grad will not win this year.
