The 2013-2014 playoffs are coming along. At first, I wanted to the Bears to win the playoffs and go to the Superbowl, but the Packers beat them with a questionable call. Now, I either want the Seattle Seahawks or the Indianapolis Colts to win.
Last week, in the Wild Card race the Saints beat the Eagles. The 49ers beat the Packers to complete the NFC side of the bracket. The AFC winners of the wild card race were the Colts and the Chargers. The Colts beat the Chiefs and the Chargers beat the Bengals.
This week will be the second round of the playoffs, the divisional round. On the NFC side, Saints will take on the Seahawks. Go Seahawks! I think the Seahawks will win because they are 11-1. Russell Wilson, the Seahawks quarterback, is playing well. I think he will lead the Seahawks to victory with their good wide receivers too.
Also, the Panthers will take on the 49ers. I think the Panthers will win this game because they have been undefeated in the last twelve weeks. They started the season 0-4 but figured out a way to win and have kept that winning mindset since.
And now to the AFC...
The Colts beat the Chiefs last week in the wild card race and the Chargers beat the Bengals. This week, the Chargers will face the Broncos. This will be a tough game but I do think the Chargers will pull off a victory. This season, the Chiefs were undefeated until they faced the Chargers. The Chargers beat them both games so I think the Chargers can do the same thing to the Broncos.
The Patriots and Colts also play to finish off the AFC side of the bracket. I think the Colts will win because Tom Brady's is struggling this season compared to other seasons. The passing yards are down, he has had six fumbles compared to last year's one fumble, he has thrown more interceptions (11), and his rushing yards have been almost cut in half compared to last year's stats.
For the Colts, their quarterback, Andrew Luck, has shown much improvement this year. He has a higher passing completion percentage and has cut his interceptions and fumbles in half compared to last year. On the rushing side, Luck has ran 100 more yards than last year. Although Luck is a young quarterback, only in his second year, he has shown a lot of improvement and has the ability to lead his team to victory.
