Predict the AFC/NFC Championship games

I got

Bears vs. Packers rematch

I know everyone is on the Detroit hype train, but it's the same thing every year with these "up and comer" teams(ie Buccaneers last year). they start off hot, but in the end falter while the teams that have been doing this for years. Bears are getting hot at the right time and I think this Bears/Lions game coming up will ultimately decide who gets the first wild card in the NFC.

Texans(GASP!) vs. Jets

I know I know, Texans making the playoffs? Their defense has taken a complete 180 from previous years and is #1 in total yards, and most importantly #3 in points per game. They've also been without Andre Johnson, arguably the best receiver in the NFL, for weeks now. They've got a cake division and will probably clinch a division title & playoff spot long before the season ends. The Jets, as much as I hate Mark Sanchez, are still a great football team when they stick to their run game and defense. I've bet against them the past two years and I'm not going to this year. Their defense is too good in January. I think the Patriots reign over the AFC East is officially over.

Well isn't that a shocker

What's the problem with my pick?

Atlanta has started playing well as of late, namely the defense has played lights out. I'm not impressed with either the Giants or 49ers. The Bears or Lions could pose a problem, but we already beat the Lions and the Bears have regressed lately. The Saints are too up and down, beating the Colts like a drum then losing to the Rams, honestly I'm not sure if they will even make the play-offs with their recent injuries.

So yeah, I think Atlanta has as good a shot as anyone to lose to the Packers in the NFCCG.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
