NFL Conference Championship Game Picks
NFL Conference Championship Game Picks Last week my picks were 3 of 4 YAY! ! ! Overview: Both of these games should be very competitive and fun watch. Both games are rematches and are fairly evenly matched. 4 teams have potentially explosive offenses. But baby its cold outside. And while weather has the potential make a difference in both outcomes they have cold weather experience. NFC Championship: Tampa Buccaneers (5th seed 11 – 5) at Green Bay Packers (1st seed – 3) 3:05 p.m. ET Fox They played earlier this year but both teams have changed significantly so that doesn’t seem matter much. And Pack has been just barely winning games. This should be a much closer game than in October where Pack was turned fudge. 2 very experienced QBs, perhaps 2 best in league. Overall they are fairly similar statistically. Points / game G B 31.8 (1st) Bucs 30.8 (3nd) Points allowed / game G B 23.1 (th) Bucs 22.2 (8th) Takeaway Differential G B +7 (7th) Bucs +8 (6th) Pass yds allowed / game G B 221 (7th) Bucs 246 (21st) Rush yds allowed / game G B 1 (th) Bucs 90 (1st) Game time conditions: Possible snow on tundra prior game. Cloudy with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees before kickoff. Prediction: Packers ----------------------------------- AFC Championship: Buffalo Bills (2nd seed, – 3) at Kansas City Chiefs (1st seed, – 2) 6:40 p.m. ET CBS If there's one area the Chiefs might be able exploit against Bills, 's ground game. Buffalo finished NFL's regular season ranked th vs. run. Opponents rushed for nearly 2,000 yards and 21 scores for an average of over yards per carry. They also allowed 5 rushing first downs season. Back in Week 6, they allowed the Chiefs rush for nearly 250 yards and lost 26-. But health-wise things will be different in this game, Bills now their D in good shape. Last week the Bills held a run-first Baltimore Ravens team 0 yards rushing in divisional round of playoffs. 2 relatively young QBs. Chiefs must contain Bills' QB Josh Allen. One area where he has been excellent this season is handling extra pressure. He recorded 19 passing touchdowns and 1,850 passing yards against blitz this season. Those numbers are good for most by any QB in NFL. Chiefs blitz at a rate of 35%, which 7th most in league. They also have a penchant for running zero blitzes, leaving their secondary players on an island in man coverage. If the Chiefs can't get pressure with four against Buffalo and are forced blitz at their usual r Allen could be in for a big day. But we’ve all seen Mahomes in action, I think going be guy in this game. Game time conditions: Cloudy with temperatures hovering around 36 degrees before kickoff. Possible rain near end of game. Prediction: Chiefs When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. |
