The Minnesota Vikings broke the hearts of New Orleans Saints fans yet again, winning 26-20 in overtime. Devyn predicted a Saints win, 30-27, and I also predicted a Saints win, 33-15. While both of our predictions were off, Devyn was happy that his Packers wouldn’t have to play New Orleans in the playoffs.While the Buffalo Bills were favored over the Houston Texans, Devyn and I both picked the Texans to win. After a slow start, Houston came back to win the game. While many expected the Patriots to beat the Titans in Foxborough, Devyn predicted the Titans to win 17-13, and I predicted Tennessee to pull out the victory, 20-10. The Titans did pull off the upset, soundly beating the Patriots, 20-13.
The final Wild Card game was the Seattle Seahawks against the Philadelphia Eagles, with the Seahawks favored to win in Philly. Lester ‘s prediction was 25-14 Seahawks and Devyn predicted the Seahawks to win, 27-20. Ultimately, Seattle did pull out the victory, 17-9.
The Chiefs look like a Superbowl team after finishing the season 12-4 and winning their conference. They were playing extremely well by finishing the season with a six-game winning streak, but on Sunday January 12th they played very bad offense in the first quarter and were trailing 24-0 early. With this Texans fans and commentators talking about Kansas City looking like they were going to lose, the Chiefs’ offense and defense dug deep and came back with 41 unanswered points and a huge win with the final score being 51-31, Chiefs. My prediction for this game was a Chiefs win, 42-25. Devyn ‘s prediction was a Chiefs win, 38-24.
Later that night there was a Packers-Seahawks game, and my prediction was a Seahawks win 30-28. Devyn’s prediction was 28-21, Seahawks. On Saturday, the Ravens play the Titans, with a majority proposing the Ravens will win because the Ravens are also playing at home. Devyn´ s prediction was 38-21, Ravens and my prediction was a Titans win, 28-10, but after a terrible game, the Ravens were devastated by a big loss.
Next week, on Saturday January 19th, the 49ers play the Packers. The 49ers are playing at home, so a win from the 49ers is expected. I predict a 49ers win 40-15. Devyn ‘s prediction is a 49ers victory, 38-21. The Chiefs and Titans play the early game, and I expect the Chiefs to win, 29-13, while Devyn ´s prediction is a Chiefs win, 45-24.
