NEW ENGLAND over Pittsburgh ATLANTA over GREEN BAY
Pittsburgh or Kansas City vs Dallas (I would say New England, but that team always finds a way to not place in the SB, despite the awesome season it always has).
The Patriots will remain most likely on the No. 1 seed. I don't see them lose the game against the Dolphins and Oakland winning in Denver. Both things at the same time won't happen in my opinion. Behind them it's going to be really interesting between the Raiders and Chiefs. The Raiders have to play the Broncos, who are probably a harder opponent especially in Mile High, than the Chargers, who are the opponents of the Chiefs. I hope the Raiders will drop this game and the Chiefs can win the Divison and get that No. 2 seed to get the first round bye, which would be important, because i think the Chiefs are the most likeliest team to challenge the Patriots.
Looking at the playoff picture in the AFC, the Patriots are obviously the favourites to go to the Super Bowl. I don't see the Raiders to beat them, without Derek Carr. And even with him i don't think they would be able to beat them in Foxborough. The Steelers could have a shot, if they play a good game defensively and if their offense is on fire. Besides that the Chiefs are probably the most likeliest team to stop the Patriots. They have a great pass rush and overall defense, which gives them the advantage over the Raiders and Steelers in a matchup against the Patriots. In my eyes that's the key to beat the Patriots. The run defense can be critical, because Derrick Johnson is hurt and he was one of the 2 most important guys on the defense on that area, but we will see how they are doing without him and with Justin March, who came back from the IR. I can see the pass rush giving the Patriots some trouble. The offense just needs to put it together and play good. Since March came back from IR, we unfortunately won't see Jamaal Charles return in the playoffs, which could be a huge blow to the running game. But they have some playmakers on the offense and are probably the most complete team besides the Patriots in the AFC.
I don't think the Dolphins or Texans are able to beat the Patriots.
you are so americacentrist right now. Ever heard of the Irish NFL , or the South African NFL? These do not refer to the "American" football of yours but regular football. The stressed "American" is there to cause no confusion between both sports.
here are my rankings of the teams 1. Dallas 2. Atlanta 3. New England 4. Pittsburgh 5. Kansas City 6. Seattle 7. Green Bay 8. Miami 9. Detroit 10. Oakland 11. New York Giants 13. Houston
I'm totally biased, but I think the Giants will beat the Pack at Lambeau.
The Giants defense has been playing phenomenally this year, and is soon going to get JPP back from injury, making them a lot more dangerous. Although the Pack offense has been hot lately thanks to Aaron Rodgers getting back to how he plays, their loss against the Titans clearly shows that the way to beat Rodgers is by putting pressure up front. The Giants D-line will easily stop the Pack's rushing attack, with Olivier Vernon, Damon "Snacks" Harrison, Jonathan Hankins, and JPP if he gets back, this will force the Pack into a 1-dimensional offense and when that occurs, things get bad for the offense. Not only can the D-line stop the rush, but they can pressure the passer as well, even more so thanks to the stellar play of the secondary, with arguably the best triple of cornerbacks in the NFL and an up and rising safety in Landon Collins. The Giants D should hamper the Pack and allow the weaker Giants O to remain in the game. Rodgers best shot will be with short throws to exploit the Giant's relatively weak linebacker corps.
Thanks to the D, the Giant's offense won't need many points to win the game, and as things turn out, much of the Pack defense is injured, thus making it easier for the G-men to score. Even then though, the giants haven't been consistent on Offense, and will likely only have a few big plays in the game, just enough to get above the Pack in points.
