The Az Sports Guru brings you a guest post from Pablo Abeytia Jr. and Justin LaFoley. As we approach the end of the first quarter of the NFL season they tackle the tough task of predicting this seasons play off teams.
… How Embarrassing! (Premature
Playoff Projections)
The NFL is now 4 weeks in with still seven franchises yet to
lose. With the first quarter of the season almost complete, we can begin to
prophesize which teams have what it takes to win the Lombardi Trophy. We will
be going over our play-off predictions and giving you key insights to watch out
for as you watch the 2019 season come to an end.
NFC Playoff Picture-
With week 4 approaching, we are starting to see both the AFC
and NFC divisions start settling down and begin taking shape… or at least
attempting to. The NFC, so far this year, is already looking like it will be a
tough division to conquer; with divisions like the NFC South and North with
multiple tied records, NFC East with a single dominating force, and the Wild
Wild NFC West where anything goes and anything can happen.
NFC East: Cowboys
Now, I am most definitely the furthest thing from a Cowboys
fan but there is no denying the powerhouse of a team that Jerry Jones and Co.
were able to pump out this season. I know, I know, they have come across some
pretty “easy” rivals thus far but this has to be the hardest I have seen The
Cowboys play in the last decade.
NFC West: Rams
This division is always fun to try and call because of just
how unpredictable and how much potential
to be TERRIBLE the entire cast has. It is always the hardest NFC division
to predict. With that being said, they also happen to produce some fantastic
playoff teams in what seems to be very random off years. I see Rams remaining
the most consistent in this division; they have 3 wins under their belt, they
mostly ALWAYS pop off in divisional games, and (to many) have the most
talent-filled team in the division at the moment.
NFC North: Packers
The North looks to have a lot of
potential most seasons but tends to peter out a good way through the season.
Therefore, creating a decently clear playoff picture most seasons. I think the
Packers are off to a good start and will give Aaron Rodgers some time to come
to his senses and start playing hard. The Packers defense is also looking pretty
good and this could be key in keeping them in the #1 spot in the North.
NFC South: Saints
This division has a lot of surprise
competitors within itself. Though this season, I can see Saints being a
dominating force even with Brees out. In this division, the Saint’s biggest
worry will probably end up being the Falcons. Even then, I think the Saint’s
will have no problem trailing away to the playoffs.
Wild Card: Seahawks
Russell Wilson has been playing with
a lot of fire this season! When Russell Wilson wants to win he finds a way to
make it happen. If you could be a one man band in the NFL, it would be him. The
team seems to be working really well together and making plays when it matters.
Wilson also plays the hardest of any QB come like week 10 of the season and
makes a terrific effort to clutch that Wild Card spot.
Wild Card: Eagles
The Eagles have been off to a pretty
rough start already. With most of their offense injured they have started off
(1-2). Once the offense starts trickling back in, I think the Eagles will have
just enough to finish off strong for a playoff run. It is no doubt the Eagles
have the talent on their roster and since these injuries were so early on there
is a good chance key players will be back just in time for the end of the
season grind to get a Wild Card spot.
