NFL Play-offs 2020




We’re down to the last eight, and the Chiefs are in it!

My picks:  49ers to beat the Vikings (Viks were excellent but lightning doesn't strike twice - at least not in the NFL.  At San Fran, the home team wins. Shame, I’d love to have a Chiefs - Vikings Super Bowl again so we can humiliate them as we did in 1970.  49ers by 14.

Ravens to beat Titans:  I hate this pick cause I’d love the Chiefs to host the AFL Championship game, but my head says the Ravens will, again with home field advantage, be too strong for the “ground them into the dirt” Titans.  Ravens by a touchdown.

Packers lose to the Seahawks: again for sentimental reasons I’d like the Pack to win so we can beat them in the Super Bowl and avenge our only Super Bowl loss.  But, the Shitehawks are just too strong and even on the road should have enough defense to whop the Packers even with Aaron Rodgers. Seahawks by 10.

Chiefs mash the Texans.  I was at Arrowhead when we lost to them.  It was ugly, Mahomes was injured and the defense was having a hard time doing anything other than getting eleven healthy players on the field. This time Andy Reid has a week off to prepare and he will do a real number on Desean Watson.  A healthy Chiefs team could go all the way. We win and win big. Chiefs by 14.

Update 49ers won, Packers won, Titans upset the Ravens, Chiefs won a wild one v the Texans. 

The 49ers host the pack and the Chiefs host Tennessee in the championship games. 

My best guesses: the 49ers will beat the Packers at home, the Chiefs will be too good for the Titans at home. So the Super Bowl will be San Francisco v Kansas City.
