Division Round Predictions

DIVISION ROUND PREDICTIONS

 

An entertaining wildcard weekend gives us a lot to look forward to in the division round. I went 3-1 in predictions last week as the only game I got wrong was the Lions very impressive handling of the 49ers. This week the games are a lot tougher to call as the field shrinks but let’s get right to it.  




 


 

(5) Ravens at (1) Browns


 

A division rival game in the playoffs is always fun. Both teams were top 5 in the AFC in most offensive and defensive categories and this should be a very good contest. The Ravens are coming off a 41-0 beating of the Raiders in the wildcard round and will be riding that momentum in another road game. Being a game between two closely matched division rivals, this gane could go either way, but I'm predicting the home team Browns get it done in the end and advance to the AFC Championship. 

 

Prediction: Browns defeat Ravens





 


 

(3) Colts at (2) Jets 

 

After a 35-23 win in the wildcard round, the Colts get a real challenge this week in the Jets. The Jets were 1st in the AFC in passing yards and 3rd in points per game.  The Colts were fifth and fourth, respectively. The Colts outperformed the Jets defensively in the regular season though, and the Jets defense has been suspect at times. I think this one will be a shootout and the Colts defense will make just enough plays to get a win and move to the AFC Championship.

 

Prediction: Colts defeat Jets




 


 

(3) Lions at (2) Cardinals

 

I had the Lions losing last week and they impressed with a 30-10 win over the 49ers. This team has the coaching to go all the way but the Cardinals seem like the obvious better team. A really close call but I see the Cardinals advancing to the NFC Championship.

 

Prediction: Cardinals defeat Lions





 


 

(4) Redskins at (1) Saints

 

The best game of Wildcard Weekend saw the Redskins beat the Falcons with a touchdown in the final minute. The Redskins look really good right now and are more than capable of upsetting the Saints on the road. I don’t think they will though. The top team in the NFC is coming off a week of rest and their home stadium is perhaps the toughest place to play. The Saints get it done and advance to the NFC Championship.

 

Predictions: Saints defeat Redskins
