NFC Playoff Predictions
Projected Seeding:
WildCard Round:
NO over SEA/DET
Notes – SEA would be a much better matchup to face this OP Saints Passing Offense. Hawks currently have 4th ranked Pass def while the lions have the 24th best. If dan plays DET I think its an easy win. If he Plays Lucky I think it has a potential to be an upset if lucky can keep the turnovers to 1 or less. All in all dan wins this first round more than likely.
SF loses to ARZ
Notes – While I think Ben will be victorious in their last regular season matchup, I believe cloud will come out on top in the playoffs. Clouds defense is one of, if not the best defense in the league. Ben has the worst pass def and Cloud has always been a gifted passer. It is probably the worst case scenario matchup for Ben in the wildcard.
CHI loses to CAR
Notes – If I am being honest with myself, I will more thank likely lose this game. This is a bad matchup for the Bears great but slow WRs against this speedy Defensive backfield in Carolina. These teams played earlier in the season which led to a CAR victory. Unless steel just plays awful on offense he should win this one based on the defense.
Divisional Round:
NYG over ARZ
Notes – Bad matchup for Cloud. He plays better against users who are relying on the pass and look to push the ball downfield. Daniel Jones has been extremely efficient and Saquon is going to get his yards. If cloud can match QB efficiency with Danny Dimes then he can keep it close but easier said then done. These two met earlier in the year which led to a 10 pt victory for the Giants
NO loses to CAR
Notes – Dan at this point has beaten Steel twice this season. It is incredibly hard to beat someone 3xs in one season. At this point steel will be as locked in as possible and based on what history has told me with steel in the playoffs against someone who has beaten him often, he will show up big.
NFC Championship:
NYG over CAR
Notes – Eventually Danny Dimes has to have a bad game right? This imo could be the time. Everytime I have counted Austin out this season he has found a way to win or be in the position to do so. Steel coming off the high of finally beating Dan, will be brought back to earth from the hangover.
