AFC Playoffs
Wild Card Round
- 3. Kansas City Chiefs (13) – 6. New York Jets (24)
- 4. New England Patriots (24) – 5. Houston Texans (27)
A matchup of Bill Belichick and Bill O’Brien could be a very interesting one. And perhaps, if the New England Patriots go into the playoffs without a solid defense, they’ll lose like they’ve done so many times prior to 2015.
The Jets sneaking into the playoffs is a very bold prediction. In fact, both AFC Wild Card selections are bold considering each’s quarterback situation. While the Chiefs do have Alex Smith, anything could happen during Wild Card Weekend.
Divisional Round
- 1. Indianapolis Colts (31) – 6. New York Jets (24)
- 2. Baltimore Ravens (23) – 5. Houston Texans (21)
Everybody loves the Colts in 2015. So much so that many have them winning the Super Bowl. I simply don’t see it. The offensive line and defense is not championship caliber. Andrew Luck, though, will once again mask those deficiencies and win them a playoff game.
The Ravens are so battle tested in January that not even a hot Texans team can stop them.
AFC Championship Game
- 1. Indianapolis Colts (20) – 2. Baltimore Ravens (24)
Joe Flacco and John Harbaugh do it again. They’ll expose the Colts for what they are: A team who has the best player in the world, but deals with major flaws that don’t show until the postseason comes. Luck will truly become the next version of John Elway. He’ll be a guy who always pushes his average team to new heights – places they really have no business being.
