2016 NFL Wildcard Weekend: Analysis & Viewing Sheet

Sons of Constitutional Liberty ^ | 1/6/17 | SCL

Numbers represent overall and specific NFL rankings by points except pass/run ranked by yardage. Depending on who has the ball, compare offense/defense strengths in pass/run yardage to anticipate best game plan.

Saturday, Jan 7, 2:35 PM MT ESPN ABC #11 Raiders at #26 Texans

Raiders Offense #7: 20 Pass 7 Run Texans Offense #28: 32 Pass 19 Run

Texans Defense #11: 2 Pass 11 Run Raiders Defense #20: 30 Pass 25 Run

Best part of the game is when the Raiders have the ball. The Raiders should run a lot. If they pass too much, Houston’s 2nd best pass defense could kill them. When the Texans have the ball we’re seeing lousy offense & defense with the Raiders having the edge. Texans could move the ball if they mostly run. Key to the Raider’s winning is mostly running the ball. Houston could win if the Raiders pass too much. Winner: Raiders.

Saturday, Jan 7, 6:15 PM MT NBC #21 Lions at #6 Seahawks

Seahawks Offense #18: 5 Pass 24 Run Lions Offense #20: 13 Pass 27 Run

Lions Defense #13: 25 Pass 20 Run Seahawks Defense #3: 18 Pass 1 Run

The Seahawks 5th best passing game should beat the Lion’s low-ranking pass defense. The Seahawks should mostly pass. The Lions should also mostly pass. The Seahawks #1 rush defense should stop the Lions low-ranking rush cold. Winner: Seahawks.

Sunday, Jan 8, 11:05 PM MT CBS #24 Dolphins at #5 Steelers

Steelers Offense #10: 13 Pass 15 Run Dolphins Offense #17: 5 Pass 8 Run

Dolphins Defense #18: 14 Pass 31 Run Steelers Defense #10: 15 Pass 19 Run

In points scored, the key measure of team strength, the Steelers come out much better than the Dolphins in overall ranking as well as in offense and defense. But in yardage detail on offense and defense, the Dolphins offense looks much better than the Steeler’s defense. Go figure. Maybe the Steelers have a deciding edge in special teams or field-goal scoring or maybe a significant turnover difference. Maybe Miami has a red-zone problem. Nevertheless, anytime the better scoring team is not the better yardage team there is a great possibility of an upset. The Steelers should run mostly against the Dolphins’ second-worst run defense. Yardage-wise, the Dolphins look good on both the pass and the run, and yet points wise, the Steelers defense should stop them. Winner: Steelers.

Sunday, Jan 8, 2:40 PM MT FOX #12 Giants at #8 Packers

Packers Offense #4: 15 Pass 7 Run Giants Offense #26: 24 Pass 30 Run

Giants Defense #2: 7 Pass 2 Run Packers Defense #21: 32 Pass 14 Run

Here’s another game where one team, the Packers, ranks higher in points but not in yards, so this one could be an upset. It will probably come down to how well Rogers will play against a tough Giant’s pass defense. Giants should mostly run. Winner: Packers.

The Giants scare me. They could go on another one of those runs.

[TheTimeOfMan]

Boycott the NFL.

Screw those pukes.

Can't wait for the Giants-Packers on Sunday. Go Giants!

Sunday, Jan 8, 2:40 PM MT FOX: #12 Giants at #8 Packers

I gave up the NFL this year when they gave up respecting the anthem and flag of the nation they claim to be the football league of.

[Gay State Conservative]

Texans
Lions
Dolphins
Packers

[Puppage]

Amen brother!

[Dr. Sivana]

Article doesn’t even mention that Raider QB Carr is out. That’s a big deal.

Giants WRs went partying with Johnny Manziel and Justin Bieber and Chloe Kardashian this week. Can you think of ANYbody worse for your WRs to spend their time with? Packers by a lot. And I like both teams.

[Sales Rep]

Boycott the NFL. Screw those pukes.

We have some great games to watch. Good times with friends and family.

[M Kehoe]

Go Phins!

Packers. (I think the Giant’s girl might be dead)

[ETL]

Naah, she’s just resting up for the big game Sunday. :)

[Jim W N]

The Raiders still look good against the generally weak Texans IMO even without QB Carr.

[hsmomx3]

GO STEELERS!!!!

[StoneWall Brigade]

I’m pulling for the Packers to beat the Giants if they do that then our Cowboys have a one way ticket to the Superbowl

[I-ambush]

Aaron Rodgers will “run the table.”

[TaMoDee]

Amen Brother, Amen!
