Useless predictions: 2021 Conference Championship weekend

    Corrected the year of these playoff games, my bad. Two mistakes, betting over in a snow day in Lambeau and not trusting my Super Bowl pick in the Rams to get it done, still managed to get one right. It worked, Ryan Tannehill threw for 3 picks and it was enough to sunk the Titans ship even with cyborg version Derrick Henry running the ball. Thank you Robbie Gould for ending the Packers empire who just could not fix their special teams all season and came to put the last nail in the coffin, the offense doing close to nothing for three and a half quarter didn't help either. Tom Brady almost pulled another super comeback but was missing dark lord Bill Belichick to complete the task, you just cant stop playing defense at this stage. Speaking of defense, what the hell Bills you were the #1 ranked defense and did squat to plunge golden boy Josh Allen to the championship, this is why every team prefers to go all in on offense, its just too hard to build an elite defensive unit and too painful to watch it go down because of a bad offensive unit that cant score. On to next week.

Divisional round: 1-3

Playoffs record: 4-6 (40%)


Cincinnati (+7) at Kansas City     O54.5

   The Bengals could be considered a similar team as the Bills, they can score in any given moment and they play though defense. Therefore this could be another shootout, Joe Burrow isn't as athletic as Josh Allen and the Bengals OL is weaker, he will need the help of his vast arsenal of skilled teammates. If the Chiefs defense snoozes like they did against the Bills they will pay for it once again. The Chiefs have been here before and just might be a bit to much offensively for the newcomers. The 7 points are a bad take, half a point either way would make me decide which team I would pick.


San Francisco at LA Rams (-3.5)    O45.5

   The Rams are to loaded but still are so inconsistent that you cant be sure about them, they almost Falconed the previous game but ended wining it as easily as they played the first 3 qtrs of the game. The 49ers survived the potent Packers offense and got lucky with their bad special team play who saved their offenses behind, still the 49ers big weapons they have did show up but they sure looked like they were banged up at the end of the game, Trent Williams status in the air is concerning, this will be a defensive showdown to see who cracks first or more often, if it weren't for Jimmy Garoppolo's iffy injured hand I would be sure the OVER will hit, this game wont be played in the tundra this time but in sunny California and in a dome, well something that resembles a dome.
