NFL – 2014/2015 Playoff Predictions

After ending my regular season picks and predictions season I felt that a heavy weight was off my shoulders – but having seen how much I enjoy the playoffs this year, I’ve decided to give you my playoff prediction.

See, originally in my NFL 2014 Season Preview-post I called a lot of things wrong – though I still stand by the idea that Jay Cutler has had a great year, I did not see the Chicago-nosedive coming – and I definitely didn’t see the failure of the NFC South coming. Not at all.

In my season preview-post, however, I predicted that the Seattle Seahawks would defend their Super Bowl crown against last year’s opponent again – the Denver Broncos. Do I think that’s still possible? Yes. Is it my prediction? See below.

For the regular season picks and predictions, week-by-week, I ended up with a win-percentage of 61 (158-98). I’m actually very pleased with that, with the NFC South and Chicago-nosedives in mind.

Now, last week I went 2-2 in the playoff-prediction. I predicted that the Panthers & Ravens would lose – but that the Cowboys and Colts would defeat the Lions and Bengals respectively.

Here’s my prediction for the rest of the playoffs:

  Divisional Round:

  • New England Patriots over the Baltimore Ravens.
  • Seattle Seahawks over the Carolina Panthers.
  • Denver Broncos over the Indianapolis Colts.
  • Dallas Cowboys over the Green Bay Packers.

    Conference Round:

  • Denver Broncos over the New England Patriots.
  • Seattle Seahawks over the Dallas Cowboys.

    Super Bowl:

  • Seattle Seahawks over the Denver Broncos.

Enjoy the playoffs,

  • Cincinnati Bengals over the Carolina Panthers.

  • Good Start: I predict that Bill O’Brien will lead his new Houston Texans team to a week 1 win against the Gruden-led Redskins.

Pre-Season Notes – Chicago Bears – Game 3


Well, that didn’t go according to plan. In what was supposed to be a game about new beginnings, the Bears did little to fix their defensive reputation from last season. In fairness, though, these were the World Champions. Friday the Bears dropped to 2-1 in their Pre-Season schedule – which really isn’t all that important. Today, I’ve decided that the result itself did not warrant standouts to be mentioned. Firstly, there weren’t many – secondly, we had no chance to make anything standout really. David Fales, Jordan Lynch and Kyle Fuller did not appear, and their respective overall scores of -1, +2 & +4 do not change. The less said about this game, the better – so let’s get the scores out and over with.

  • #25 – Ka’Deem Carey: 2+ points, 1- point; Average Performance – [3 points].
  • #95 – Ego Ferguson: 1+ points, 1- point; Average Performance – [0 points].
  • #45 – Brock Vereen: 0+ point, 1- point; Below Average Performance – [-1 point].
  • #93 – Will Sutton: 1+ points, 1- point; Average Performance – [0 points].
  • #16 – Pat O’Donnell: 1+ points, 1- point; Average Performance – [3 points].
  • #57 – Jon Bostic: 2+ points, 1- points; Average Performance – [-1 point].
  • #50 – Shea McClellin: 1+ point, 1- point; Average Performance – [-4 points].

Rookie of the Game: Pat O’Donnell

Player of the Game: Willie Young
