SUPER BOWL BOLD PREDICTIONS

Finally, the Super Bowl is only 2 weeks away, with the Denver Broncos facing the Carolina Panthers. Both teams have a dynamic offense and defense, which means both teams will score a lot of points. The Carolina Panthers, led by their young quarterback Cam Newton, are soaring through the post season beating the Cardinals in the NFC Championship. The Panthers scored 49 points in that game, and if they can do that again against a tough Denver defense, they will win. Also, if his offensive linemen block correctly, then it will be easier for Cam to win. But, if not, the Denver Broncos defense may stop the Panthers offense completely, making them score no touchdowns. Now onto the other side, the Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning is getting close to retirement, but still has not given up on winning one more Super Bowl. If he plays one of his best games ever, he will have a chance to win. But, he needs to try not to get hit too much because he already is hurt. Against the Seahawks, two years ago, which is a team just like the Panthers, he got hit so much that he lost the game. If he can throw the ball well, and not get sacked by a tremendous Carolina defense, he can win the game. Two great offenses against two great defenses and only one team can win. Here is my pick for who wins Super Bowl 50.

                          PANTHERS WIN AGAINST THE BRONCOS 27-21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      

AFC and NFC Championships Preview

     Do you smell that. Thats the smell of sweet victory. 4 teams move on into the conference championships eliminating 4 other teams. Every game was close and just as entertaining. The weekend started Saturday afternoon with the Patriots and the Chiefs. The Patriots started dominating by scoring a touchdown in the first 3 quarters. 2 thrown the Gronk and one ran in by Tom Brady. Sadly for me, the Chiefs fumbled in a crucial point of the game losing 20-27. The next game was the best game this whole playoffs. The Packers were down by a touchdown and had the ball with 30 seconds left. At their own 3 yard line Aaron Rodgers bombed a throw down deep to Jeff Janis whole caught it with a 60 yard pickup. The clock was still running and the final play  was a hail mary right into the center of the end zone. From out of nowhere Jeff Janis catches yet again tying the game and sending it into overtime. The Packers had a chance to win against the very strong Cardinals. The Cardinals had a different idea and on their first play after getting the kickoff, Larry Fitzgerald got a 64 yard pickup making them almost 5 yards away from a victory. And, just like Jeff Janis, Larry Fitzgerald got shoveled the ball and ran it in for the game winning touchdown. The final score was 26-20 and a Cardinals win. That was the end of a very amusing Saturday but the playoffs were just getting good. On Sunday the games started in the morning with Carolina verses Seattle. The game started instantly with points on the board. The Panthers scored 31 points making the score 31-0. But the Seahawks were not done yet, the came back and scored 24 unanswered points getting very close to a win. Unfortunately, the Panthers ruined that by picking up the onside kick that could have gave the Seahawks a chance to make it to their third Super Bowl in a row. 31-24 was the final score. Lastly, was the Steelers and the Broncos. This was almost like the Patriots game with the Steelers fumbling and them losing the game 16-23. That was the end of the divisional round and giving each team that won one week to get ready for the conference championships. In the AFC its the Patriots verses the Broncos. Or how I see it, Brady verses Manning. This game is just a quarterback duel and whichever team's quarterback does better will win the game. The other game is the Cardinals and Panthers. In this game it will be which offensive team has a better game with both teams scoring a lot of points this year in every game they played. Both games will be very tight but here are my picks for the next week and the Super Bowl winner.

     PATRIOTS WIN!!!

      Super Bowl:                                      Patriots    vs         Cardinals

Playoff Picks, After the Wildcard Weekend

The Wildcard weekend just finished and I was very close to picking the winners of all four games. Sadly, I only picked 3 out of the four winners. The first game the Texans against my Chiefs. GO CHIEFS GO!!!!!! Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer was playing a really bad game forcing 5 turnovers and leading the Chiefs to win 30-0. I predicted this game right with only a little bit of bias towards the Chiefs. The second was a really great and close one between the Steelers and Bengals. The Bengals lost their starting quarterback Andy Dalton to injury a few weeks ago. So, instead of him the Bengals quarterback was AJ Mccarron who played college football at Alabama. With almost a minute left in the game the Bengals were up by one point. But unfortunately, with their running back fumbling the ball and a costly penalty letting the Steelers score a field goal ending the game with a final score of 18-16. This was one of the best games of the wildcard this year and another pick that I got right. Next up was the Sunday games which started with the Seahawks and Vikings. The Vikings needed a 27 yard field goal to win at the end of the game but missed badly losing the game 9-10. This was another game that I got right making me 3 for 3. Lastly, was the Packers and the Redskins Sunday night. I picked the Redskins to win after how good they were playing with Kirk Cousins as their quarterback. This left my picks with a total of 3 out of 4. Now is the divisional round then the Championships and Super Bowl. Here are my picks for those games:
