NFL Playoff Predictions (1 Viewer)

[packseasontix]

Texans over Bengals (Schaub + Johnson start things off then Foster finishes it)

Packers over Vikings (Ponder puts up a stinker after a masterful performance week 17)

Colts over Ravens (Luck gets a little lucky to catch the Ravens on a downward trend)

Redskins over Seahawks (RG3+Morris is just enough to let the Redskins squeak past the Hawks)

Colts over Denver (Denver stumbles with Manning wish he was back in the dome instead of the 10 degree wind chill)

Packers over 49ers (Rodgers has beautiful weather and another big playoff win)

Redskins over Falcons (full game of RG3 is too much for the Flacons)

Patriots over Texans (Brady shows why is wins so much in the playoffs)

Patriots over Colts (Brady strikes again while Luck has 1 to many turnovers)

Packers over Redskins (RG3 puts up a great game but Rodgers matches him + a TD)

Patriots over Packers (Brady strikes back for the Packers '96 Super Bowl win)

 

[jurb26]

I'll go;

Bengals over Texans - shocker early. I don't like the way Hou has looked recently and think the slide is all mental. Bengals take advantage.

Raven over Colts - wont be close. The Colts slipper comes off vs. a superior team.

Packers over Vikings - Winning in GB is a different story than winning in Minn.

Seahawks over Redskins - Seahawks will maul RG3 and smother the Skins run game.

Pats over Bengals - Brady chews up the Bengal D and simply proves too much.

Ravens over Broncos - dreams of the next edition of Brady Manning get shattered as Balt pulls a massive upset.

Seahawks over Falcons - Both #1s fall. Truth is, Seahawks are just better in.

49ers over GB - another classic pulled out by SF.

Pats over Ravens - Balt doesn't have enough offense.

Seahawks over 49ers - Seahawks D is too much for Keap and Sea pulls off a close one.

Seahawks over Pats - Seahawks force Brady into a few mistakes their D can't save them from.

 

[Donnybrook]

Colts over Ravens (Luck gets a little lucky to catch the Ravens on a downward trend)

I would be somewhat surprised.

Colts over Denver (Denver stumbles with Manning wish he was back in the dome instead of the 10 degree wind chill)

This would be utterly shocking to me.

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

Bengals over Texans. The free fall continues

Packers over Vikings. Don't believe that they can do it twice in a row

Ravens over Colts. Colts just played their best game

Seahawks over Redskins. RG3 not good enough to overcome the superior defense. This causes more mass craziness that Wilson deserved rookie of the year over RG3 which is of course ridiculous.

Denver over Bengals. Bengals not quite good enough to hand with the elite

Patriots over Ravens. Scary game for the Pats but they find a way

Seattle over Atlanta. #1 seed again and again bounced early

Packers over SF. Probably wrong here but CK blows it for the 49ers in this one

Patriots over Denver. B&B crush Manning in Denver 33-13

GB over Seattle. Home field advantage decides this contest. GB 23-20

Patriots over Packers. Another title for the Pats 33-27

OK I'll have a go:

Texans over Bengals

Colts over Ravens (by a feild goal)

Seahawks over Redskins (Seattle defense is the difference)

Denver over the Colts

49ers over the Packers (Packers defense can't stop the run. Kaepernick and Gore runs wild)

Falcons over the Seahawks (Seahawks lose in OT)

Patriots over Texans

Denver over the Pats (Pats secondary can't cover DT, Broncos DBs pick off Brady)

49ers over the Falcons (Turner totally stuffed by the 49ers D)

Denver over 49ers (Defense win championship but Mannings experience and a better FG kicker is the difference)

Oops, good catch.Broncos over BengalsPats over RavensBroncos over Pats, guess that Manning Brady matchup happens after all. Seahawks over Broncos.

 

[devouredbychaos]

Bengals over Texans (Green goes off for 200 rec yards and 2tds)

Colts over Ravens (Colts want this more than Balt, Luck has a good game and Ballard gashes the Ravens for 150 and a td)

Vikings over Packers (The upset of the playoffs. Somehow Ponder gets it done and AP runs again for 200 against the Packs awful run D. Walsh kicks a long fg for the win as time expires)

Redskins over Seattle (In the best game of the weekend, the Skins pull of a huge win and RG3 shows why he is the Rookie of the Year and the #2 pick. Morris has another huge day, and the Skins pull out a win in the final minutes)

Pats over Colts (Reminiscent of their game vs Denver last year in the playoffs, the Colts D crumbles vs Brady)

Denver over Bengals (Bengals keep it close but Forehead leads a game winning drive in the last 2 min to win)

Falcons over Vikings (Julio and Roddy are too much to handle and Ponder reverts back to his old self)

49ers over Redskins (49ers D smothers RG3 for most of the game and Kap has a big day against the Skins secondary)

Pats over Broncos (Brady and BB own Del Rio, and make it 4 wins in the past 2 seasons vs Denver)

Falcons over 49ers (Ryan barely squeaks by, leading a comeback in the 4th quarter to finally put Atlanta in the SB)

Pats over Falcons (Brady has too many weapons and everyone is healthy at the right time. Pats shut down the passing game and Turner/Rodgers just can't get it going. Gronk wins MVP, with 175 rec yards and 2 tds)

 

[RBM]

Texans big over Bengals

Ravens by a late FG over Colts

Packers just get by Vikes

Seahawks over Skins in a wild one

Pats smack around Texans again

Broncos dismantle Ravens

Seahawks nip Falcons

Niners handle Pack

Broncos in a classic over Pats. Miller and Dumervill disruptive enough

Niners physically dominate Seahawks in a statement game.

Niners-Broncos is a tough one to call. Looks awesome on paper. Right now I might be leaning to Denver with Kaepernick playing well but making a couple of key mistakes.

 

[butcher boy]

Texans over Bengals - Bengals are just happy to be here.

Packers over Vikings - Rodgers outplays ADP

Colts over Ravens - they can beat cancer, they can beat the ravens.

Redskins over Seahawks - karma for how insufferable seahawk fans have been recently.

Denver over Colts - they can beat cancer, but not manning.

49ers over Packers - packers can't stop the running combo of Gore/LMJ/Kaep

Falcons over Redskins - Ryan outduels Vick Jr.

Patriots over Texans - coinflip

Patriots over Denver - Brady is too handsome and his wife too hot for him to lose this game.

Falcons over 49ers - 49ers injuries become apparent in this game. Ryan throws for 450 yards.

Patriots over Falcons - Evil empire reigns supreme.

 

[pizzatyme]

The cancer shtick is poor form.

 

[David Yudkin]

Denver may be a very good team, but I just don't see them winning 14 games in a row.

 

[pizzatyme]

Denver may be a very good team, but I just don't see them winning 14 games in a row.

Did you see them winning 11 in a row?How many other teams won 11 in a row this year?

 

[David Yudkin]

Denver may be a very good team, but I just don't see them winning 14 games in a row.

Did you see them winning 11 in a row?How many other teams won 11 in a row this year?

Winning the next 3 in a row will be a lot harder than winning 11 in a row against the teams they had to face. The combined record of the teams they beat in their current winning streak is 68-108.I would be really surprised if the Broncos won out.It will be interesting if Peyton has another quick playoff exit (the Colts lost in the playoffs 7 times in one and done fashion).

 

[Chazzhawk]

The Bengals defense shuts down a struggling offense and the Bengals win 24 - 16

The Packers get some revenge for missing on the bye and Ponder doesn't play nearly as well in the weather as he did at in the dome 31 - 19

The Seahawks are really good, last weeks game was a trap game against an underrated Rams team and they still won, plus RG3 isn't 100 percent 20 - 13

I have went back and forth on this game 3 times since the match was set after the Ravens lost, with the return of

Ray Lewis and the fact Flacco plays so much better at home I am going to go with the Ravens in a tight one 21 - 20

Round 2

Packers go into San Fran and beat the 49ers 34 - 17, Kaepernick struggles, and we have an Alex Smith sighting

Seahawks beat the Falcons in the dome 24 - 23 on a late touchdown, the Falcons lead the entire game but the Seahawks defense forces field goals when Atlanta gets into the red zone and Wilson leads a late touchdown drive for the vicotry

Broncos beat the Bengals 41 - 17, the Bengals are just too beat up from a very physical game the week before at Houston.

The Patriots beat the Ravens 35 - 13, the Pats defense has been good lately, minus the 49ers game. Flacco continues to struggle on the road.

Title games

Seahawks beat the Packers 16 - 14 in another physical game Lynch goes beast mode and carries the Seahawks to victory with 200 yards rushing, the Packers have bad field position all day and only score 2 touchdowns on 2 80+ yard drives.

Patriots beat the Broncos 41 - 38 the defenses have played well lately but they might as well stay home in this one. Brady and Manning go up and down the field but Brady has the ball last and drives them into field goal range as the game is ending.

Super Bowl

Patriots beat the Seahawks 37 - 31, both teams light up the Super Dome with points. Seahawks kick a field goal with about 4 minutes left to make it a one score game but don't get the ball back until there is less than 1 minute left, no timeouts and they are inside their own 15. They never get to mid field and Wilson's hail mary gets caught but they are still at the Pats 25 yard line as time expires.

[dewmass]

Bengals over Texans - Texans look a tired team to me, Bengals D and AJ will be the difference

Ravens over Colts - Ravens are the better team, first of many postseason games for Luck isn't close

Seahawks over Redskins - toughest game of WC weekend to call. Ill take the hawks d over a not fully fit RG3

Packers over Vikings - cant see how this will be close. Packers will be up big early and coast

Packers over 49ers - Coin flip but I'll take Rodgers over Kaep

Falcons over Seahawks - Won't be close, one road game too far for Wilson

Broncos over Bengals - Close low scoring game, two good Defenses but can't see Dalton putting up more than Manning

Patriots over Ravens - Typical epic game between these two, but Patrits do enough in a close one

Falcons over Packers - Falcons do enough to stop Rodgers late on and win by 4

Patriots over Broncos - The running game will be the difference here, Pats will control the clock by 60-40 and win it on a late INT

Patriots over Falcons - Patriots, Brady and Bill aren't losing another SB

 

[devouredbychaos]

Loving all these Pats SB predictions

The bye week is huge for them. With a healthy Gronk, and also Talib and Dennard I think they have an excellent shot. Nink appears to have only a minor injury too, so hopefully he'll be ready to go. Not sold on the Broncos, as BB and Brady have pretty much owned Del Rio every time they play.

New England / Denver would most likely be the most exciting game of the year. I'd probably go with NE if their secondary were better - and I'm one of the few Talib fans.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

(6) Bengals (3) Texans - Bengals. Total gut hunch.

(5) Colts (4) Ravens - Ravens. One more run for Ray Lewis.

(6) Bengals (1) Broncos - Broncos. Blow out.

(4) Ravens (2) Patriots - Ray Lewis parade continues.

(4) Ravens (1) Broncos - All the makings of a classic AFCCG. I'm gonna ride Ray Lewis's retirement.

(6) Vikings (3) Packers - Packers. At the end of the day, I'm just going with the better QB here in the playoffs.

(5) Seahawks (4) Redskins - Seahawks. I'm gonna be rooting for Seattle all the way through. And I can't enjoy playoff football that includes the Redskins.

(5) Seahawks (1) Falcons - Seahawks. Really like the Falcons, but I'm gonna buy into the "they can't do it hype" and continue to root for the other birds.

(3) Packers (2) 49ers - 49ers. I think this team is going to be scary in the playoffs.

(5) Seahawks (2) 49ers - Want to see the Seahawks do it, but I can't see the 49ers not getting there. Should be a fun ugly old time NFCCG style game with a probable 10-7 score. 49ers move on.

Super Bowl - Ravens v. 49ers. Brother v. Brother. The stories will be endless. Ray Lewis. The Harbaugh's. Rookie QB v. Flacco. I'll lay like $5 on the 49ers and just sit back and enjoy the game.

I can't stand either of the Harbaughs and I was worried about this happening last season. I don't see it this year though -- the Ravens just aren't good enough IMO.

It's interesting to me that so many people think the Bengals can win the first game, but not Denver. I think they will either win both or neither.

Why not...

[johnadams]

Bengals over Texans with AJ Green beasting.

Ravens over Indy. Ray ray gets it done one more time.

Redskins over Seahawks. SEA is a cool story, iffy road team.

Pack over Minny. Just can't see this going the other way.

Bengals over Broncos. Somehow, everyone seems to forget that Peyton reverts to mediocrity when it counts the most.

Patriots over Ravens. Just can't see this going the other way.

Niners over Pack. A truly healthy GB might win, but they are too dinged up. Getting Justin Smith back will be huge for SF.

Redskins over Falcons. I'm just not a believer in ATL I guess.

Bengals over Patriots. My upset shocker. Pass rush is always been the key to slowing Brady and Cincy can bring it with the best of them.

Niners over Redskins. It's just time for Washington to go.

SB: Niners over Bengals.
