AFC:
Titans @ Patriots
After watching what Kelce did to the Titans defense before he was injured, Gronk should have no problem shredding the defense. Patriots don't make mistakes, Marituou (or whatever) does. I "like" the Patriots.
Jaguars @ Steelers
Blake Bortles is too bad to torch the Steelers mediocre defense?? Yeah, basically. Steelers are a tough out at home when they catch the ball ha.
NFC:
Falcons @ Eagles
Falcons aren't going to be able to handle Philadelphia's physicality in the cold. Atlanta is soft. I'm over the recency bias already. I like Philadelphia.
Saints @ Vikings
This should be a game as both teams play much better than they look on paper. But the Saints are a team on fire at home and will ultimately have to rely on their defense to win them the game... yeah... so I like the home-dome atmosphere and think the other Vikings' intangibles (e.g. swagger, and getting to a home super bowl) will be too much to handle. I do have some reservations.. Not the team we wanted to play this round and as long a Blair Walsh 2.0 is kicking i'll be on the edge of my seat.
I am rooting for every team I picked against (except the vikings' opponent) and am looking forward to an AFC South championship followed by Dirty bird hunting!
