nice breakdown, Heidi. i think Green Bay can beat Dallas. Rodgers is on a roll. the Cowboys inexperience is going to hurt them. they're not invincible and we will see that in round two.

True, but the Cowboys already beat GB in Lambeau. So, even with the hotstreak I think the Cowboys will still win.

If it weren't for DT saying that quote I wouldn't be here, so that is why it has importance to me for those wondering.
Kinda hoping the Texans lose so O'Brien gets fired. His play-calling is TERRIBLE. He also brought in Brock who sucks, so getting a new coach would be nice.

Even though Oakland is on their third string QB, I think they will beat Houston in the first game.
It'll be tough, especially with a backup/3rd string QB. Houston's been known to win sloppy games, even with the disaster at the QB position.
I wouldn't be shocked to see Kansas City run the table and get to the Super Bowl. They're a quiet underdog in this year's playoffs I think.
Connor Cook IMO should have been a first round pick. He was really good at Michigan State. The Texans have faced a third stringer early this year Jacoby Brisset. The Texans were blown out 27-0. I remember being like "man the Texans are gonna beat the Pats and be 3-0 and things will be great" nope. The defense is 1 though so if any team should be able to beat the Raiders it would be the Texans. If the Texans do lose O'Brien will get canned www.battleredblog.com/2017/1/4/14165642/houston-texans-rumors-bill-obrien-texans-agreeing-to-part-ways which IMO wouldn't be bad for the Texans as IMO O'Brien is not a good coach. I used to think he was but his play-calling is terrible.
On a side note I can see KC making the AFC title game but not SB. The only team that I think has a shot of winning a playoff game in Foxborough is the Steelers and I wouldn't even give them a great shot.

Kansas City could make things interetesting in the AFC. It would be fun to see their defense go up against New England's offense.
As I said AFC title game for KC is realistic, but Andy Reid got that far with the Eagles many times and only made the SB once. 1-4 record in conference title games.

None of the games turned out to be as close as I thought they would. I like the matchups for this week's round though. My predictions are Kansas City over Pittsburgh; Green Bay over Dallas; Seattle over Atlanta; and New England over Houston.

I'll go Atlanta over Seattle, KC over Pittsburgh, Dallas over GB, and NE over Houston. So that would make the conference title games Atlanta vs Dallas and Pittsburgh vs NE. Those should be some good games.

Only two games in and I'm 1-1. Congratulations to Atlanta for proving me wrong!
