Wild Card Weekend Predictions

By the time this posts, we'll all know how close my predictions came.

In under an hour from the time of this writing, the first NFL playoff game of this season will kick off in Kansas City. I like to make game predictions, and I figured I'd give the four Wild Card games a shot for my weekly post. I'm going with some edgy scorelines, so maybe this article will be laughable by the time it posts. We shall just have to see.


Tennessee @ Kansas City

Edge: Kansas City 62%

The Chiefs looked rough for a good stretch toward the middle of the season, but they'll get everything clicking in a 31-24 victory over the Titans.

Atlanta @ Los Angeles

Edge: Atlanta 53%

The Rams have had a miraculous season, and I would like to see them win, but I think the Falcons have the right blend of experience and fire to roast themselves some mutton. Atlanta 24-21 Los Angeles.

Buffalo @ Jacksonville

Edge: Buffalo 51%

This is almost definitely the most controversial pick on this list. Jacksonville's defense has been smothering, while Buffalo only leaked into the playoffs after a 4th and 12 conversion by Andy Dalton against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17 of the Regular Season. Still, I think Buffalo can fly themselves to a nail-biting 21-20 win over Jacksonville.

Carolina @ New Orleans

Edge: Carolina 51%

The Saints will come marching in, but they won't be marching out quite so confidently. Cam Newton had 754 rushing yards across 139 attempts in the Regular Season, and he'll have 70+ yards with his feet on Sunday in a shocking 24-23 win over New Orleans.


These predictions are all pretty nondescript, but I think that's fine. The games will speak for themselves. I don't know much about how the scorelines will align in my favor over the next day plus change, but I like how they sound, and if I've turned out to be terribly wrong come Monday, we can all have a nice laugh over it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
