Divisional Round Playoffs Thread

I got:

Bills over Broncos. I think it will be close but Sean Payton notoriously chokes in the playoffs and I don’t think anyone wants to play Josh Allen. 24-21

 

Seahawks over 49ers. I think it’s close and Darnold is likely injured but the defense wins it. 20-17

Texans over Patriots. Patriots had one of if not the easiest schedule this year. They struggled with LAs defense which is nowhere near what Houston has. Probably low scoring. 17-13

Bears over Rams: Rams think our home field advantage is bad. They are about to play in Chicago, with single digit temperatures, high wind, and flurries. 30-21

Darnold not playing will be a net positive for the Seahawks.

Honestly it might be simply because they're likely to keep it conservative on offense. Feels like the only way they lose to this banged up Niners team is to beat themselves.

Which is extremely possible with Darnold back there. 

Saleh has done a good job of shutting down their offense. They have to get Purdy off the ground and cooking without hurting them with TO's. CMC will not be a factor in the run game at all but he can bridge that massive gap that Kittle being lost created by exploiting LB and S mismatches.

I hate the 49ers so much I'll even pull for Darnold and the Seahawks.
