The wild-card weekend is here and the NFL playoffs are about to begin! The 2015 NFL playoff picture is an interesting one on the road to Superbowl XLIX. Here is a breakdown of this weekends games. Let’s start with the AFC.
Baltimore Raves @ Pittsburgh Steelers (Saturday 6:15 pm MST)
The Ravens are one of those Any-Given-Sunday type of teams for sure but something tells me they will not have enough Flacco-mojo to pull this one off. Steelers will rely on Big Ben making big plays in the absence of break-out running back Le’veon Bell. Steelers win 30-24
Cincinatti Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts (Sunday 11:05 am MST)
This game is interesting because the Colts dominated the Bengals in their last meeting 27-0 but that was in week 7, things are different now and this is playoff football. Speaking of which Andy Dalton is 0-3 in the playoffs and his win-less streak should continue with #1 WR A.J. Green listed as doubtful. Colts win 31-20
The Patriots and Broncos have earned a bye week and will be facing the winners of the Ravens vs. Steelers and Bengals vs. Colts games. Which team would you rather have visit Denver for next weeks NFL divisional playoff round?
Which Team Would You Rather the Broncos Play
Here is the NFL playoff picture for the NFC.
Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers (Saturday 2:35 pm MST)
It would be easy to sit here and say Cardinals win considering the Panthers squeaked into the playoffs with a 7-8-1 record and the Cards are 11-5. However, it’s the Panthers who are peaking at the right time while the Cards have lost their last two games struggling with the loss of quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton. But I like that Arizona defense and think they can be krytonite to Cam Newton. Cardinals win 23-17
Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys (Sunday 2:40 pm MST)
Forget home field advantage. The Cowboys are 4-4 at home while boasting a perfect record of 8-0 on the road. The Lions will be looking to pounce on Murray and Romo but in the end it will be Dallas moving on. Cowboys win 27-21
