NFL Playoff Predictions

Seahawks vs. Falcons

Matt Ryan still has no playoff wins in his career and he will have a very tough time winning today against the red hot Seattle Seahawks.  The Falcons should be prepared for today's game after having a bye last week, but Seattle's physical cornerbacks and running game will be very tough to beat.  If the Falcons want to win this game their defense needs to step up and be able to stop Marshawn Lynch.  The Seattle Seahawks will win this game 35-24 because the Seahawks running game will be to much for the Falcons' defense and Matt Ryan will have trouble throwing the ball down field to his receivers.

Texans vs. Patriots

These two teams met in Week 14 and the Patriots complete destroyed the Texans, winning 42-14.  This game will be more competitive and physical, but it is really hard to pick against the Patriots at home.  The Patriots have the best offense in football, and their passing game will be just to much to handle for the Texans.  Tom Brady will have a great day throwing for over 300 yards and he will lead the Patriots to a 34-24 victory over the Texans.

NFL Playoff Predictions

Colts vs. Ravens 

The Colts and Ravens are both equal in talent, but experience and home field advantage will be the difference in this game.  If Andrew Luck and the Colts want to win, they have to play smart and they can't turn the ball over in key situations.  The Colts' defense also has to be able to control Ray Rice and force Joe Flacco to throw the ball down field.  In Ray Lewis' final home game as a Raven, the Ravens will beat the Colts in a close and physical game.

Seahawks vs. Redskins 

The Seahawks and Redskins are both very similar because their offense is focused around running the ball, down the opponent's throat.  These two teams also have defenses that are physical and tough to beat.  This game will come down to how Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III are able handle the playoff pressure, and how they perform late in the game.  Today's game will be close and exciting, but the home field advantage will be the main reason why the Redskins are able to win this game.
