Apolo Playoffs Predictions and Awards

Special to primetime-football.com

I should be working on the game vs Packers, but simmed 3 games last night and we lost ugly the 3, I already said it on discord, but Im willing to bet in the next 5 seasons there won’t be another seed #6 as good as Packers, they have the best QB of the 12 teams, and talented players in almost all positions, they were my pick for win last SB, and they could’ve been there if didn’t lose Favre by injury, so yeah I can cry about facing them being #3, or work for win it, I’ll choose the first one, lets cry! I’m doing this article with that sole purpose, don’t let the title fool you, this article name should be, Dallas get #3 and face Favre as reward... Nah being serious, definitely sucks and would be lying if say is not disappointing to face the Packers on wildcard round, but that’s the game, and for win it all have to best any team is ahead. So yeah introduction aside, lets start!



AFC

Patriots vs Ravens

The Patriots doesn’t have Tom Brady for this one, that is definetily not good when facing one of the best league defenses, but Garrard have been decent and they have running game, defense have improved and face a rookie QB.

Patriots win


Jaguars vs Raiders

Rematch from week 17? The Raiders took that one, and secured the playoffs after surprising indi lost, Im happy for Tim, he have been very active and deserve it, the Jaguars are a hard to predict team for me, but I think Fred Taylor will have a great game

Jaguars Win



Jaguars vs Chargers

The Chargers are one of my favorite teams to win it all, and I don’t think they will suffer much on this round, they have McNair, LT, Burress and a defense force sacks

Chargers win


Patriots vs Bills

I think this is lowkey one of the league rivalries, at least for now, I really like what Tom doing, but soon they should enter a rebuild process, yeah, they can keep bringing vet QB and sometimes will work, sometimes wont, Brady is guaranteed multiple years ahead of the division, and I think this start on this game.

Patriots Win


Patriots vs Chargers

This would be a fantastic conference game, at some degree both teams have endured their QB injuries, I think the Chargers are the favorites on this matchup, but my gut tells me Brady will be on fire.

Patriots win AFC


NFC

Packers vs Cowboys

My luck.... Packers win


Panthers vs Rams

With all the respect to both GM and team, I somehow share Tom thoughts, this is the weakest matchup on the playoffs, because this is a league QB, Volek and Bulger are not top QB even if rest of team are great. On a defensive matchup give me Peppers and friends

Panthers win


Packers vs Vikings

The Vikings suffer the same as Cowboys, the #1 becomes a disvantadge as have to play the Packers, I’ve been saying all the season that Vikings are my SB pick, if Im consistent I should pick Vikings, but I have a feeling about Packers getting hot on playoffs, this is the matchup of the playoffs.

Vikings win


Bucs vs Panthers

Divisional games are always complicated, but I think the bucs should win this one.

Bucs Win


Bucs vs Vikings

Tremendous season by Bucs, but if I had to pick a rival to beat Vikings, had to be divisional rivals lead by Favre, and I had vikings advancing so...

Vikings win NFC


Superbowl

2 great teams got here, Brady vs Culpepper, McGahee vs Portis, good players in most positions, but I’ll be consistent for once in my life.

Vikings win SB




Awards


MVP QB Kerry Collins (Bills)

I think he has the stats, has the position, and with all due respect to Bills, they’re not a stacked team, if take away Collins, they’re not better than Dolphins or Jets on the division. Collins managed to win division ahead Brady


OPOY HB Clinton Portis (Vikings)

Rich get richer, they hit a home run getting Portis from Broncos, he had an inmediate impact, lead league on rushing yards and key on Vikings success


DPOY CB Ray Buchanan (Cowboys)

Yeah, call me biased but I’ll take my player, he have performed great with 10 Int, 2 TD, and 25-25 ctha/dfl ratio. The stats are similar to Woodson which Madden gave it, I just think Buchanan faced better WR, and send them to an island.


OROY WR Bernard Berrian (Bills)

Easy pick


DROY FS Sean Taylor (Lions)

Idk how but Lions safeties gets an absurd amount of tackles always, It’s probably something of scheme, and front 7 not stopping the plays, whatever, hard to argue with those stats
