NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND WAS PREDICTABLE!
This weekend wasn't really full of surprises considering the outcome of the games but it sure did have some highlights worth mentioning. First we would like to start in Green Bay where the weather wasn't as warm as it was in Florida. Odell Beckam and a "few" New York Giants made headlines all over the country with their trip to Miami on an team off day. By the looks of the Giants and Packers game, it looks like they continued their off day through Sunday afternoon. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers completely dominated the Giants in every aspect and quarter of the game. We're looking for a good game this week in Dallas against the red hot Cowboys.
Speaking of Miami, there's another story down there as the Pittsburgh Steelers traveled south to prove why the Dolphins shouldn't have even been in the playoffs at all. I personally didn't really appreciate the Dolphin players kneeling during the National Anthem but they got embarrassed immediately after like they didn't belong there. I look for the Steelers to continue on the winning streak right past the Kansas City Chiefs. One thing that is worth mentioning here is Ben Roethlisberger sprained his ankle on the second to last play of the game. Without Big Ben, I'm not sure the Steelers are even half as good as they are with him healthy.
Quarterbacks are one of the most important positions on the NFL football field and this game between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans absolutely proved that point. With Derek Carr on injured reserve, the Raiders didn't stand a chance against the Texans defense. The Raiders struggled to get out of their own way on offense while the Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler made some good plays with great field position. Yes the Texans looked like they could actually do something in the playoffs but they don't stand a chance against the New England Patriots what so ever!
Lastly, the Seattle Seahawks also dominated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night leaving no doubt that they Lions need to be watching the playoff on TV. Matthew Stafford did lead the league with 8 come from behind wins while loosing the last 4 games leading up to the post season. Limping into the playoffs on crutches they were symbolically teed up for the ceremonial practice game against the Seahawks. Everyone looked good in Seattle but I think Matty Ice will have something to cool them off! We pick the Atlanta Falcons this weekend against the Seahawks but admit that it's going to be a close game!
Does it look like Bill Belichick is worried about his upcoming game with the Houston Texans?
