Wildcard Predictions

PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS - WILDCARD ROUND

 

The most exciting time in football is here, the playoffs! The Wildcard round is stacked this year with several potential upsets that could shake up the rest of the playoffs. My predictions are based on overall records, team overalls, and offensive and defensive performance during the regular season. (Note: this is assuming a Colts win in a late week 17 matchup.)



 

 

(6) 49ers at (3) Lions

 

Both teams boast top 4 offense and both teams have key injuries on defense that should contribute to a high scoring affair. The Lions are coming off a huge 41-3 win in week 17 against the Vikings. Despite that they are still the Lions, and with 49ers play improving under new ownership I wouldn't be surprised to see a shocking upset.  In the first upset of the playoffs, the 49ers get the win and advance. 

 

Prediction: 49ers defeat Lions.



 

 

 

 

(5) Falcons at (4) Redskins

 

Of all the games on wildcard weekend, this is perhaps the hardest matchup to predict. The Falcons were 3rd in sacks while the Redskins were 4th in interceptions. Redskins were 6th in PPG and 4th in rushing touchdowns, though, so that should put them over the top. Redskins advance. 

 

Prediction: Redskins defeat Falcons.



 

 

 

 

(6) Chiefs at (3) Colts

 

Chiefs are coming off a loss to close the season, losing the division in the process. That alone would kill most team’s morale at the time of year they need it most. Especially a wild card team on the road.  Despite losing all momentum heading into the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes always gives the Chiefs a chance, and they may come out with more fight than most are expecting.  Still, the Colts are coming off a huge 28-3 win in week 17 and have established themselves as a threat in the AFC. The Colts will protect home field and advance. 

 

Prediction: Colts defeat Chiefs.




 

 


 

 

(5) Ravens at (4) Raiders

 

The Raiders clinched the division in week 17 with a big win over the Chiefs. Their prize? A wildcard matchup against Lamar Jackson and the 12-4 Ravens. The momentum and home crowd will provide a boost for the Raiders, but the Ravens prove too much to handle and get a road win to advance. 

 

Prediction: Ravens defeat Raiders
