BOYCOTT BY TRUE AMERICANS.
AFC: #5 Tennessee[X] at #4 Kansas City
NFC: #6 Atlanta at #3 L.A. Rams[X]
AFC: #6 Buffalo at #3 Jacksonville[X]
NFC: #5 Carolina at #4 New Orleans[X]
I am glad my KC Chiefs got a playoff home game and wish for the best. I still refuse to buy any NFL merchandise until they get rid of Goodell and this whole SJW commie garbage.
I still like pro football. I am prepared to move on to another pro league if the NFL doesn’t straighten up. The NFL’s commie management is sooo stupid, their huge blunder has created an opportunity for another pro football league.
That being said, here is my playoff picks:
My Chiefs over the Titans
Bills over the Jaguars
Falcons over the Rams
Saints over the Panthers

AFC: #16 Tennessee at #10 Kansas City 2:35pm ESPN/ABC
Overall rank scoring rank ydg rank
#10 KC Offense #6: 2 Pass 1 Run
#16 Tenn Defense #17: 12 Pass 4 Run
#16 Tenn Offense #19: 18 Pass 14 Run
#10 KC Defense #15: 19 Pass 23 Run
KC outranks Tenn 10 to 16 in overall scoring strength. KC’s mediocre defense should slow Tenn’s mediocre offense. KC’s strong, balanced offense should score enough to win, especially in the pass. Winner: KC.
NFC: #11 Atlanta at #3 L.A. Rams 6:15pm NBC
Overall rank scoring rank ydg rank
#3 Rams Offense #1: 4 Pass 7 Run
#11 Atl Defense #8: 8 Pass 16 Run
#11 Atl Offense #15: 4 Pass 7 Run
#3 Rams Defense #12: 12 Pass 30 Run
The Rams outrank Atlanta 3 to 11 in overall scoring strength as well as in offensive and defensive scoring. However, Atlanta beats the Rams in overall yardage rankings mainly because of the Ram’s terrible defense against the run. When a team ranks higher in points but not yards, it can signal an impending upset. This could be an upset by Atlanta. The Ram’s excellent passing game will be slowed down by Atlanta’s strong pass defense but they should score with the help of a strong rung game. On the other hand, Atlanta’s excellent passing game should move the ball against a mediocre pass defense and their strong running game has little opposition against a very weak run defense. Both teams should run mostly. A squeaker, but I pick the Rams by a nose (or a horn). Winner: Rams.

AFC: #21 Buffalo at #3 Jacksonville 11:05am CBS
Overall rank scoring rank ydg rank
#3 Jags Offense #5: 13 Pass 7 Run
#21 Bills Defense #18: 8 Pass 23 Run
#21 Bills Offense #22: 25 Pass 14 Run
#3 Jags Defense #2: 1 Pass 23 Run
This game could be the least entertaining of the bunch but what might be lots of one-sided interceptions could liven things up a bit. The Jags outrank the Bills 3 to 21 in overall scoring strength as well as in offensive and defensive scoring. The Jags strong running game should move the ball and score against the Bills weak running defense. The Bills should also mostly run. If the Bills try to pass much, the top-notch Jags pass defense will swallow them up and almost certainly get some turnovers and possibly a defense score or two. Except for some possible Jag defensive TD’s, looks like a low-scoring running game. Winner: Jags.
NFC: #6 Carolina at #12 New Orleans 2:40pm FOX
Overall rank scoring rank ydg rank
#6 Saints Offense #4: 1 Pass 1 Run
#12 Carolina Defense #11: 19 Pass 10 Run
#12 Carolina Offense #12: 22 Pass 7 Run
#6 Saints Defense #10: 16 Pass 27 Run
The Saints outrank Carolina 6 to 12 in overall scoring strength as well as in offensive and defensive scoring. The Saints should pass and score against Carolina’s mediocre pass defense. Carolina’s best bet offensively is to run against a very weak Saint’s running defense. The Saints will go ahead and never look back. Winner: Saints.

National College Championship Alabama vs. Georgia 5pm ESPN
Current rank scoring rank ydg rank
#3 Georgia Offense #23: 9 Pass 8 Run
#4 Alabama Defense #1: 1 Pass 1 Run
#4 Alabama Offense #9: 13 Pass 5 Run
#3 Georgia Defense #3: 2 Pass 20 Run
This is why we have the top-four playoffs. The bottom two were the best and the best of the best is #4 Alabama who they almost did not get put back in the top four because the Tide lost a game late in the season. Not sure why losing a game late in the season makes you worse that a team that loses one or two games early in the season. Some of this ranking system looks a little like how they judge a prizefight by remembering the latter rounds better than the early rounds.
This will be a well-played, low-scoring, knock-down drag out defensive battle extraordinaire all the way. The best part of the game will be when Georgia has the ball. Alabama’s top scoring defense in the country and top pass and run yardage defensive in the country will slow down Georgia’s excellent offense in both run and pass. ‘Bama’s excellent run game should score against Georgia’s run defense. Alabama will have to be careful in their passing game against Georgia’s #2 pass defense in the country. Winner: Alabama.
