NFL Playoff Predictions Contest - Wildcard Week

[milani]

I shouldn’t have underestimated Houston. They just shellacked LA. The only thing I like about it is I don’t like the Harbaugh Brothers. At least 1 is eliminated.

The Texans are all over the place this year. I can’t figure them out. They get crushed by the Vikings 7-34 but then Beat the Bills 2 weeks later. Then get beat by the Jets. Then finish losing 2 of the last 3 including being humbled by the 3-14 Titans in Houston, followed by the Ravens 2-31. Then they come out and wallop a good 11-6 Chargers team? What in the world.

And they should have beaten Detroit if Koo kicked like he did against most every other team.

Houston surprised most of us. Congrats to those who picked the Bolts.

It is a new season, and past performance is no indicator blah, blah, blah.

Apparently most of us misunderstood Houston. A part of why predicting the NFL based upon logic can be so frustrating.

Yeah and it wasn't even close. Houston didn't do a lot that was special on offense but they didn't have to. They avoided mistakes and capitalized on Herbert's INTs. Now I wonder how good this team is. They have impact players on both sides of the ball.

It's all about C.J. Stroud. If he has a hot hand, he's about as good as it gets. If he has a cold hand, they die in the first quarter. With their shortage of WRs, they rely on his ability to create completions with his feet. He's in the same category as Mahomes in that area of the game. Then there's his running ability. He ate the Chargers up on the ground on one particular play and it pretty much killed the Chargers.
