NFL Playoff Predictions - Round 1

http://www.sportsbettingacumen.com/fantasy/nfl/office-football-nfl-playoff-bracket

The NFL playoffs are a ways off, but I wanted to make some early predictions based on what I think. 

The number one seed in the AFC will be the Chiefs because they have a pretty good quarterback, Alex Smith.   They possibly have the best runningback in the league which is Jamaal Charles.  Both are pretty fast and make the offense tough to defend.

I think the number two seed in the AFC will be the Patriots.  The Patriots have Tom Brady on offense and have Rob Gronkowski as a tight end.  Between the two of them, it is hard to stop them from getting in the endzone.

The number three seed would go to the Steelers (yes, I said the Steelers). This decision is based on the fact they have Le'Veon Bell and Big Ben. Le'Veon Bell is perhaps the best player in the league.  

Ben Roethlisberger has a pretty good arm so he can throw to Antonio Brown who can catch the ball well.

I think the Texans will be number four despite their first two losses.  They struggle on offense but they have  JJ Watt leading the defense. As they say, defense wins championships...or at least get them into the playoffs.

The number five team for the AFC will be the Broncos.  They have Peyton Manning - enough said.

The last spot is still up in the air, as I don't think any of the rest of the AFC teams deserve it. These teams struggle to put up points on the scoreboard.  

Now for the NFC - I have big hopes for these guys!

I believe...As a Bears fan, I can't believe I am actually going to say this, but the Packers have to be number one.   They have Aaron Rodgers on offense and the flowing blonde hair of Clay Matthews on defense.  

The number two team is the Seahawks, despite their losses their first two games.  They have Russell Wilson as their quarterback and Marshawn Lynch as a running back which allows them to run the ball down the field. Russell also has a good tight-end, Jimmy Graham, who can catch the ball well. 

Now, the Cowboys have a chance to be the number three team, even though they lost Tony Romo and Dez Bryant which are their two best players.  Somehow, I think they can still make it to the playoffs with the number three spot.

In my opinion, the Falcons are number four for the NFC because they have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones on offense. Anyone with the real name of Quintorris Lopez, better known as Julio Jones, can catch the ball.  Matt Ryan is also an offensive threat because he can run the ball too.

The fifth team in the NFC playoffs will be the Bears. #YEA Even though they lost Jay Cutler, I think he will come back in a couple of weeks.  Even if he doesn't, they still have Matt Forte who can run the ball and he is super fast.

The final team for the NFC playoffs will be the Rams.  Despite the fact that they have been terrible the last couple of seasons, I think this will be their breakout year because 1) they have already beat the Seahawks which is the number two seed in the NFC and 2) they beat the Seahawks 34-31 and I have never seen the Rams score so many points.

These are my thoughts for the first round of the NFL playoffs.  What are your thoughts?

NFL Playoffs

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.

ISU vs. TCU Football

This weekend, I went to the Iowa State game.  They played TCU in Ames. During the game, Iowa State played very well, but they lost.  My favorite part of the game was when Texas Christian kicked and Iowa State ran the ball back for a touchdown.  It was right in front of our seats. My sister also got her picture up on the jumbo-tron.

The game was awesome but having our whole family there made it extra special. Our family got together and I was able to see my uncle from New York.  He surprised my other uncle and grandpa by flying in for their birthdays.

Before the game, we tailgated next to the stadium.  It was packed.  My cousin and I got our picture taken with Cy.  Yahoo!!!After the game, we played football where we were tailgating.  I think it is cool how sports brings families together.

First Post

I'm a second grade student who loves sports.  My favorite sport is baseball, but I love watching and playing other sports too.  My favorite football team is the Chicago Bears and my favorite baseball team is the St. Louis Cardinals.

This blog is going to be about my thoughts on sports.

Today, I am going to talk about NFL football.  The question is who is going to win between the Rams and the 49'ers? I think the Rams will win but I want the 49'ers to win because they went to the Super Bowl last year.  Colin Kaepernick, the 49'ers quarterback, is probably one of the top quarterbacks out of all the quarterbacks from every team.  Sam Bradford, quarterback for the Rams, seems to be struggling but their team is doing well.  It should be a good game.
