PLAYOFFS--2020--WHATCHA THINK??

HERE, In order of appearance are the upcoming games (First Round..) and my picks (Guesses really..)

Saturday Jan 11, 2020

4:35 PM
Minnesota Vikings (10-6)  at  San Francisco 49ers (13-3)    Pick= 49ers 
With the upsets we have already seen this year, it won't be easy to pick these games. However, I DO believe the 49ers have too much for the Vikings. 49ers by 6.. 

8:15 PM 
Tennessee Titans (9-7)  at  Baltimore Ravens (14-2)    Pick= Ravens 
Tennessee has played pretty solid ball recently. They will give the Ravens a battle. Still, its just a tuneup game. Ravens by 10.. 

Sunday Jan 12, 2020 

3:05 PM 
Houston Texans (10-6)  at  Kansas City Chiefs (12-4)   Pick= Chiefs 
This will be a closer game on the field than it looks to be on paper. Houston gives KC all they can handle in this one. Chiefs by 3.. 

6:40 PM 
Seattle Seahawks (11-5)  at  Green Bay Packers (13-3)   Pick= Seahawks 
Weather could be a BIG factor in this game. If it snows, all bets are off. Still, a good game and a close one. I think the Seahawks pull this one out at the end. Maybe OT.  Seahawks by 1.. 


Well, there you have it.!!!  My crystal ball prognostications. Admittedly, my visual perception organs are not as clear as they once were.  Hmmm....maybe I need glasses.

What say you.????

Minnesota over the 49ers by 3.

Titans over the Ravens by 8.

Chiefs over the Texans by 13.

Seattle over the Packers by 2.

Chiefs and Vikings in the SB which Andy and the guys win 35-21.

WOW.!!!

Maybe I DO need glasses.!!   The first two listed surprise me... Home team DISadvantage.??  Playing in warmer climates.??
Hmmm...... Maybe so..!! 
I already admitted I used a fractured crystal ball, so what do I know.!!

I can’t afford crystal so I used my magic 8 ball.

LOL... 

Well.... So I guess we'll split the first two.  Still CANNOT believe Tennessee beat the Ravens that badly.  I figured it would be "close", but the Titans beat 'em like a drum.!! This was a perfect example of stats not showing the whole story.!!  Titans came up BIG when they needed to and controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage. Ravens had lots of yards, but not much else.!!  Derrick Henry and ball-control offense along with stout interior defense made the difference.

I WANTED the Titans to win, but I didn't think they had it in 'em.! Boy, was I wrong.!!

So NOW.... Tomorrow (Sunday) sets up the other half of the Conference Championship games.  Gonna be interesting.!!

Well, my picks were not perfect, to say the least.  

Absolutely could NOT see the Titans destroying the Ravens like that. The other one I missed.... I actually thought Seattle would win that game in the closing minutes. Green Bay managed to pull it out, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for a GB domination the rest of the way.

But then again..... What do I know.??


So, I guess I'll start over with the championship round.....
