The silence on this board is absolutely killing me!
So even though it's not exactly fantasy related, was wondering if anyone else cared to share their thoughts on the playoffs..if it helps make you feel better we can say it's related to the playoff challenge we have going as to the consecutive games bonuses.
Seahawks over the Saints-
I know the Saints defense has played very well, especially down the stretch, but I don't see them winning this game. Seattle is one of the few teams in the league that can take out virtually all of the Saints recieving weapons one on one, leaving the pass rush free to target Brees. And that defense won't be so stellar after being pounded on by Lynch for 4 quarters.
Patriots over Colts-
Not sure why the Colts are the favorites in this game. Had KC not took a bathroom break that lasted the entire second half, or if they could've avoided half the team getting injured in the same game, the Colts wouldn't even be here. The Hoodie and Brady are not Reid and Smith. Sure Luck has a decent enough chance to carve up the Pat's secondary, but the Colts won't find the same kind of ease when they go on defense. I expect a fairly high scoring game here, and Brady wins in the clutch.
Panthers over 49er's-
this is just more of a hunch than anything else, but I do think Cam and the Panthers defense matchup favorably to SF's strengths.
Chargers over the Broncos-
Is this what I think will happen, or just what I WANT to happen? I don't know, but SD did beat Denver, at home, earlier, so it's not like it's a pipe dream that could never happen. Forecast is low 40's and windy. Wish it was low 30's and windy, Manning stats and rating have a very defined drop once the temp drops below 40. Guess I'm just hoping for Captain 1 and done to do it once more, and bring his playoff record to a paltry 9-12 with nine one and done's. Besides, it's not like the Denver defense is scary at all without Miller and Chump Bailey being scared of the shadow of his former self.
Conference title games-
Carolina over Seattle-
Russel Wilson's inexperience shows, and the lack of playmakers on offense finally takes it's toll. Cam elevates his game, and status as an elite QB, single handedly scoring the winng TD in the final 2 minutes.
Chargers over Patriots-
Got a strong feeling SD is taking that NY Giants approach of getting hot at the right time and following through, even if it means taking down the Hoodie along the way.
Super Bowl-
Chargers over Panthers-
Cam's performance in the Conference title game goes to his head, and he falls flat on his face on the big stage. Rivers, when asked "you've just one the Super Bowl, what are you going to do?" says, "I'm going to tell every one of my haters to suck it!" Leading to an off-season long rumor mill as to whether the Chargers will trade him for Kirk Cousins or Mike Vick, and they also draft Johnny Manziel, thinking surely he'll be different.
Anyone else?
