vikings and redskins ded
>>64712991
Who wins steelers or bengals
So we all Agree Seattle @ Green Bay is by far the pick of the round right?
>>64713043
Seattle and Minnesota
GB
SEA
KC
CIN
>>64713007
I have no idea. I feel it could go either way but if I had to pick a team I'd pick the Steelers because the Bengals can't win a playoff game.
How does /sp/ think the Redskins Packers game goes. I'm picking the Skins because this Green Bay team doesn't look good.
>>64713063
WAS
SEA
PIT
KC
>Jest fan
>10-6 this year after planning on a terrible season with QB issues
>still didn't make the playoffs
It's like it's all just been an allegory for my life.
Besides that, KC is my dark horse pick for the wild card matchups, they'll clean house against Houston.
Bungles shut the Steeler Nation up for once in a close game.
Minnesota surprises everyone by blowing out the Seahawks then get dominated next round
Packers gonna send them damn injuns packing.
steelers win off of a big ben come from behind td drive.
texans meme their way to a victory, kc fans proceed to OD on their memes.
redskins win in a blowout.
seattle gets a cheeky fg to force ogretime, but lose after vikings get a td on their first drive.
What are the odds that the Chiefs can actually beat the Texans? 5%? Max 10%?
>win a close game on the road to take the division
>earn a match up with the best team in the NFC
Doesn't get much more Minnesota than this
>>64713375
you guys have the cold weather advantage tho. it'll be close but i think minnesota wins
>>64713253
5%. They should be happy tho because that's a higher chance of winning than the Vikings have against the Seahawks.
>>64713398
>implying either team is used to playing in below freezing temperatures.
>0 degrees fahrenheit expected at kickoff
Who are your Super Bowl 50 champions and why aren't they the Carolina Panthers?
Cap it, niggers
Deadskins and chefs will win one playoff and then lose
>>64713513
Houston Texans
>best defense in the league
>best receiver in the league
>smartest offense in the league
>most determination in the league
>most heart in the league
Literally unstoppable desu
>>64713558
>smartest offense
>3rd and 20
>George "better run it up the middle cos our qb can't thow a football" Godsey lol
KC > Texans
Bengals > Steelers
Hawks > Vikings
Skins > Packers
>>64713558
KC Blows them out and then beats up an injured patriots to blow out Manning for the second time in the championships this season to lose in the World series.
I think the biggest issue with KC was not losing to the raiders.
Now they literally have to go 14-0 to win the superbowl.
>>64713597
To world in the superb owl.
Goddamn I'm tired asf-. Called it the world series tf- am I thinking.
>>64713540
>chefs get btfo in denver
Pls yes

>Bengals winning a playoff game
No disrespect anon.

I'm not making any predictions on the Vikes/Seahawks
>>64713631
Love the name anon, good picks btw.
Hopefully the weather makes the Vikes/Hawks more of a ground and pound game.
Latest weather reports say the air temp will be between 1°F to -1°F (-17 to -18°C) with a windchill of -15°F to -19°F (-26 to -28°C)
>>64713668
wew
>>64713626
>implying Dalton will play
>>64713668
Cool, a second reason for Vikings fans not to show up.
>>64713657
Thanks, I can't bet on the bungles and Captain Kirk has been too good to be stopped now by a shit tier pucker D
>>64713668
Is there potential for it to be an actual snow game? That would be fucking based.
>>64713702
True.
>>64713668
Sounds like a very interesting scenario for a game. I'd go to it, I work in conditions that cold some days
Who memes their way into the bowl hawks or panthers?
LETS GET THIS SHIT STRAIGHT
>Primetime Bengals
>>64713467
The scheduling also makes the game really early for Seattle, about 10am I think.
>>64713708
highly unlikely. It rarely ever snows when it gets that cold.
weather.com has a 10% chance of precipitation but even that seems high.
>>64713745
They start practice at that time. Apparently they've done it all season so it shouldn't be a problem.
Frankly, I still can't believe the Redskins won the division and have a place in the playoffs this year.
Don't think they'll beat Green Bay, but I do think they'll give them a good fight and keep it close. May even have the lead at some point during the game, but the Redskins roster has too little experience in these post-season games.
I think they're on the right path, though. Damn, it feels good to have a real GM running the show. If the team stays on this path, I think at least one NFC Championship in the next five years is a reasonable expectation.
>>64713772
Have hope. From what I've heard and seen the Skins are unbeatable at home and their offense is on fire. Don't know much about the defense though.
>>64713139
Redskins are still shaky. Resilient, but they've only played one complete game all season (against New Orelans). Damn near every other game, they fall apart for at least one quarter.
Packers also have a roster full of guys that are accustomed to this. Redskins are still green when it comes to post season play. Should be close, but I'd put money on the Packers. Redskins aren't ready for prime time but they should be in the next few years, if they keep this up.
>>64713766
It will be a problem, not the time but the vikings will beat them. Can't wait.
>>64713772
Just like the texans their divisions a joke and the packers have tumbled into the playoffs so yeah they have a chance .your not the cowboys so that's a plus.
>>64713821
If AP and their D shows up it's theirs
>>64713558
I can see 5 teams winning the Afc. None of them are the team that went 8 and 8 against that. Fucking. Schedule.
>>64713772
>Don't think they'll beat Green Bay
If Bakhtiari is out, it's a guaranteed Redskins win.
>>64713809
Defense is alright, though it's weak against the run. Pass rushing is definitely its strength (never thought I'd say that about a Redskins team) and the secondary has stepped up at crucial times during the season.
Packers would be wise to gash the line early and often before going to the air and catching the secondary off-guard.
Team's been solid as a rock at home, but this team is still too young and inexperienced in big games like this. I'm guessing it'll be a shoot out with the Packers just barely coming out on top.
>>64713857
When will the Packers get their shit together? Not that I really want them to but...
>>64713838
If AP runs OVER sherman or chancellor it will make my day.
>>64713849
They actually went 9-7, 7-2 in the last 9 weeks
OPINON DISCARDED
>>64713885
Next season
>>64713597
>KC winning
>couldn't even win its division against mediocre and injured teams
>having Andy Reid as coach
>>64713885
next season when the offensive line is worked on and Davante Adams is sacrificed to the football gods
>Chefsfags unironically think they're going to win a playoff game
You guys are cursed desu

Last time the Packers were this injury riddled going into the playoffs they did great things... of course it isn't the same team but I have hope
>inb4 Rodgers in 2013
>>64713884
So could Eddie Lacy tear them up? Not a pack fan but this is easily the most entertaining game of the wild card round.
>>64713896
I want to see AD do this to Chancellor
>>64713822
>>64713857
We'll see.
If nothing else, I fully expect this game to be among the best of the afternoon, but the winner will run into a buzzsaw in the next round.
I respect the Packers, their history, and the culture around the team and fan base. I hope the Redskins win, obviously, but I'm not going to be devastated if they don' (so long as they have a good showing).
>>64712991
KC beats HOU
PIT beats CIN
MIN surprises everyone and barely beats SEA
WAS surprises everyone and beats GB
>>64713896
That went great for them last time.
>>64713945
This except Houston because the chefs choke when it matters.
>>64713945
I predicted after last season that the Vikings would go to the SB in the next four years
Would be cool to see it happen but highly doubt it for this season
>>64713939
That would be the reel of all reels
>>64713954
lol
>18 yards from AP
>31 yards total from team
>>64713973
They're on fire. Idk I didn't think HOU was that great of a team and I still don't
>>64713375
>Best team in the NFC
>Not Camrolina...
kek
>>64713939
Who's AD?
>>64713926
Possible. Very possible. 'Skins have the second worst run defense in the league (opponents average nearly 5 yards per carry) 'Skins are extremely vulnerable against the run.
If the Packers are smart, they'll keep the ball on the ground and wear out the Redskins defense. If they do, they'll be too tired to lay a hand on Rodgers and he'll be able to carve them up with his arm.
>>64714024
Exposed
>>64714024
Andy Dalton
>>64714022
Nice meme.
>>64713990
>implying this game will turn out just like the last one or even similar
They're not going to take this game lying down like last time.
>>64714024
Bruh, cmon really? All Day has been called AD since high school, long before everyone started using the AP moniker. AD is what he prefers
>>64714044
It won't if their D is healty unlike last time
Will tge viqueens break 50 yards?
>>64714085
Barring any setbacks from what happened to Ellis and Josephs pending return, they should be at full strength
>>64714122
Hopefully
Pete's petty beef with Lynch will be the reason the Seahawks lose. Its going to be a cold bowl 0 fucking degrees with wind chills that'll make it feel like negative -11. There will be no dragons, only ground and pound and defense. I'll take AP over whoever the backup RB for the Hawks is anyday
>Viqueens o-line
>>64714253
>18 yards
>>64714266
>>64714281
See>>64714044
You must be denser than a neutron star if you think AD will only get a handful of yards.
>>64714329
>Doubting the Seahawks defense.
>>64714362
I'm not doubting them on the whole. I'm doubting they'll hold AD to under 50 yards. I don't see that happening. Norv could stop it if he doesn't give him his carries, but as long as he touches the ball, he'll get his
>>64713196
My nigga.
holy shit 4F high in Minneapolis on Sunday
how many concussions are we gonna see because of a frozen solid field?

Does the NFL still make those movie trailer promos for games? If so they should call the Hawks Vikings one "Return of the Dragon".

>>64713813
this is the story of the skins for the past 20 years, its usually the 3rd quarter they fall asleep in.
>>64713772
its all on Kirk and the offense desu senpai, if they can keep scoring, keep the ball out of Rodgers and the village peoples hands then we will win
>>64712991
My predictions for playoffs:
WILDCARD:
Seahawks def. Vikings
Redskins def. Packers
Chiefs def. Texans
Steelers def. Bengals
DIVISIONAL:
Broncos def. Steelers
Chiefs def. Patriots
Redskins def. Panthers
Cardinals def. Seahawks
CHAMPIONSHIPS:
Cardinals def. Redskins
Chiefs def. Broncos
THE OWL:
Cardinals def. Chiefs
>>64720172
wut
Where did all of these Vikings, Packers, and Washington fans come from?
>>64713772
it's like a 90% redskins win
only chance the packers have is if the defense goes full capers and does some crazy shit
Who /giantsfanbutwillberootingforchiefs/ here?
>>64714637
Why do Kpop girls love the Chiefs so much??
>>64713708
Snow and fucking freezing cold temperatures never really happen at the same time
>>64714281
>>64714329
>>64714362
Yeah there is just no way a good coach like Zimmer lets his squad get routed twice by the same team.
The Vikings will be healthier, they will make adjustments, come out with a gameplan and they will play more competitively.
Not saying the Vikings will win, but Seahawks fans excepting an easy win are in for a better game than they expected.
>>64720278
yeah, ok 'tard
>>64720319
Seriously, you dumb.
>The Chiefs have not lost since the Royals won the World Series.
>Kansas City will once again BTFO the city of Houston
>The Chiefs will go to the Super Bowl
I don't think you are ready for the shit posting, /sp/
Really hoping the second string Patriots team beats the Chiefs this weekend.
>>64714535
what dome?
KC
PIT

SEA
SEA/MIN is gonna be the best game but I feel like The R-Words are gonna put up a hell of a game too
as someone who lives in texas and its currently 60 degrees...is it even possible to play in these temperatures?
>>64720467
isn't game In a dome?
>>64720172
>Cardinals Seahawks 2nd round
Look at the retard and laugh
>>64720498
it's outdoors, their first outdoors playoff game there since 76.
>>64720498
No.
Seattle wants nothing to do with a 10am PST start in frigid conditions.
Vikings win 17-14
>>64720172
>Chiefs beat Patriots
???
>>64713467
Nigger you know that the Vikings have been playing and practicing outside for years now right?
>>64712991
I wanted the Eagles to be in the playoffs.
max comfy pls
>>64714022
>Best team in the NFC
>Lose to Falcons
Pick one, and only one
>>64713708
>>64713668
Doesn't seem likely that it will snow. Cold and dry is fine for the passing game.
>>64721464
It happened without a wide receiver. The Chiefs have several now alongside Kelce for the offensive attack, plus an elite rookie cornerback and a veteran cornerback on the wideouts with Ron Parker playing Nickel and slot DB. With the elite Houston and Hali back, plus big boy Poe, the Patriots have no chance. 49-0 blowout if the Chiefs beat the Texans
I'm nervous about it but I think the seahawks are going to win against the vikes this week, although it will certainly be closer and not the blowout from week 13. I just think the vikings do not match up well against seattle (their weakness right now is explosive pass plays/TEs and they crush running teams).
24-14 seahawks
>Also:
>KC > Hou

>>64714417
Why is that so hard to believe though? They did it just a few weeks ago
>>64720541
The time actually isnt really an issue. They have done fine in other games at that time this season.
The weather remains to be seen whether (hehe) it affects them or not.
>>64714617
No it isn't.
>>64722998
Yes it is. Part of the upgrades paid for by the Vikings when they agreed to play in TCF.
http://m.startribune.com/tcf-bank-stadium-getting-6-6m-upgrade-to-prepare-for-vikings/255262241/
>>64713849
the funny part about this argument is they actually performed worse against the "easy" part of the schedule and began playing really well when teams with winning records started showing up
I hope KC gets to play the Pats again.
How bout them..... CHIEEEEEEEEFS
