Houston Texans vs Cleveland Browns
Houston found a good one in CJ Stroud as he led the team back to the playoffs to take on the Browns this weekend. Both teams are coming off hot endings of the season as the browns were winners of 4 out of their last 5 games and the Texans winners of 3 out of 5 of their last games.
CJ Stroud proved he was ready for the moment and the Texans trusted him all season. He pass for 4108 yards and 23 touchdowns and 5 interceptions all year long, he could’ve broken the record for most yards by a rookie if he didn’t miss two games due to an injury. The Texans will be without rookie receiver Tank Dell who was having an incredible year until he broke his leg, but Nico Collins has been holding them together making big play after big play.
The Browns will be going out with Joe Flacco at the helm of things. Joe Flacco signed as Deshaun Watson was put out for the year again with yet another injury, and in his time he has looked like the Joe Flacco that everyone knows and loves, his veteran presence has been beneficial for the team as he will be calm minded going into another playoff game.
Score Prediction: Texans 27-Browns 17
Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins
Both teams are coming off an interesting year, where the Chiefs have looked off on the offensive side of the ball, and the Dolphins started out hot but quickly have cooled off these past few weeks. Both teams will be in for a freezing day at Arrowhead Stadium Saturday night with a weather reaching 8 degrees and windchill reaching -30.
How much gas does Mahomes have in the tank, he has played well all year but hasn’t been able to rely on the receivers including Travis Kelce as he has played well below his standards all year. If the Chiefs want to stay in this game they will need players to catch passes from Mahomes.
Tua and the Dolphins are coming off two straight losses and one being a blowout by the Ravens, the offense has seem to struggle recently and will need a wake up call on this frozen night tomorrow. Tua will need to play his best game of his career if they want to beat the Chiefs.
Score Prediction: Chiefs 17-Dolphins 28
Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers will be without TJ Watt this weekend and the Steelers team has to be one of if not the hardest team to watch right now as they don’t have much going for them. Josh Allen is finally playing the way he’s been expected to be playing. This matchup could get ugly quick and may be a long cold day for the Steelers
Josh Allen and company are 5-0 in their last 5 games and they have been the leagues hottest team since their loss to the Eagles. This will be a snowy and cold game and you’d have to expect with no TJ Watt on the defensive side for the Steelers the Bills will try to run the ball down the Steelers throat.
Pittsburgh needs a miracle simple as that. Mason Rudolph will be leading the Steelers Monday, if the Steelers want to win this game they will need to take risks, and control the time of possession in order to stay in this game.
Score Prediction: Bills 24-Steelers 10
Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers
Dak and company have been playing the some of the most complete football all year and they’re real contenders, if they can get over the hump of recent playoff struggles they could go far this year. Jordan Love finished the regular season as the full starter for the Packers and didn’t disappoint, he will be trying his hardest Sunday to help the Packers take down Dallas.
Ceedee Lamb broke Michael Irvin’s record in week 18 for the most receiving yards and receptions in a year by a Cowboy. Dallas will need a big game from Dak and Lamb to help take down the Packers. As they’ve done all year long look for the Cowboys defensive to take risks and jump passes in hope of turnovers.
Jordan Love will need a perfect game for them to keep up with the Cowboys. They will need him to keep the ball out of harms way as the Cowboys live off turning over the other team. Aaron Jones and if AJ Dillon play you’d have to imagine the run game will be relied on heavily in this game.
Score Prediction: Cowboys 31-Packers 14
Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford will be coming back to where it all began to take on the hungry Lions and Jared Goff will be taking on the team that gave up on him. This will be an entertaining game as Stafford looks to end the Lions season and Goff is looking to show the Rams that he may have been worth keeping.
Detroit has played some of the best football this year and it’s hard not to root for this team as they deserve to be here after a hard impressive season, Goff was second in the league in passing yards but at times made some questionable decisions, and St. Brown and Goff will look to torch the Rams Sunday night in a must see game.
Stafford has the opportunity to play spoiler for the Lions, he’s admitted saying he has love and respect for the city and the organization but Sunday night all that will be out the window and he will do everything in his power to keep his teams season alive.
Score Prediction Lions 35-Rams 21
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles
Baker may have found a home in Tampa Bay after an unorthodox start to his career in Cleveland he has made some impressive strides this year leading the Buccaneers to the playoffs. Jalen and the Eagles are in a predicament as they haven’t been able to win close games or close out games while winning this year. Something about this Eagles team has been off since starting 10-1 and potentially even before that.
Baker Mayfield will look to get his second playoff win of his career Monday night as he takes on the Eagles who have struggled to stop the run over the past few games, so the run game may be the most effective way to control time of possession and slow down the game.
Jalen Hurts has to play better if he wants to have another late playoff push again, AJ Brown is OUT on Monday with a knee injury but should add DaVonta Smith and Darius Slay back in the lineup, the team needs to rally around each-other to leave Tampa with a win.
