Ticket King Green Bay brings you our version of the "Wild Card Weekend Preview."
The 2020 NFL Playoffs are upon us. Let’s dive right in and
preview Wild Card Weekend. We tried to figure out how or why each team will or will not win their game. We hope you enjoy our educated guesses.
AFC
(3)Patriots vs. (6)Titans
Why the Titans will win- The Titans will win because the
Patriots defense can’t stop Derek Henery. Ryan Tannehill continues his
impressive play over the second half with a three-touchdown performance. The
Patriots have been exposed this season, and for the first time in as long as we
can remember will lose as playoff home game.
Why the Patriots will win- The Patriots will win because
they have lulled everyone into a false sense of security. “Oh, the Patriots are
dead now,” they all say. Well, the Patriots are about to come to life and show
us that they are still the “Evil Empire.”
Final score: 34-24 Patriots.
(4)Texans vs. (5)Bills
Why the Bills will win- The Bills are back in the playoffs.
This is the more legitimate team in almost two decades. That defense is for
real, and the offense led by Josh Allen makes enough plays to pull off a tough
playoff road victory.
Why the Texans will win- The Texans have one of the most
dynamic young quarterbacks in the game in DeShaun Watson. He will terrorize the
Bills defense with his ability to run and pass. Carlos Hyde rushes for 120
yards, and the Texans advance to Baltimore.
Final Score: 31-20 Texans
NFC
(3)Saints vs. (6)Vikings
Why the Vikings will win- It’s going to take a miracle for
the boys in purple to pull this one off, and they do just that. Kirk Cousins
has the game of his life, throwing for four touchdown passes. Dalvin Cook
returns for injury to add 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns of his own on the ground.
Why the Saints will win- Ladies and gentlemen, the Saints
are not just winning. They are pillaging, plundering, and taking no prisoners.
They are firing on all cylinders and they roll on into round two, one more win
away from an epic rematch with the 49ers.
Final Score: 45-24 Saints, with a late junk touchdown by the
Vikings. As I said, it’s going to take a miracle for the Vikings to pull this
one off.
(4)Eagles vs. (5) Seahawks
Why the Seahawks will win- Right now Seattle is down for the
count. Their top two running backs on the depth chart right now weren’t on the
roster all season, and they are down to four healthy receivers. But there’s
something that smells of playoff run about this team. I don’t know what it is,
all I know is I can smell it.
Why the Eagles will win- The suddenly hot Eagles won the NFC
East at the buzzer from the Cowboys, and now enter the playoffs on a little bit
of a streak. The playoffs are where Doug Pederson is making his magic work, and
he does it yet again.
