As much as I want the Buffalo Bills to win a Super Bowl, going into DEN and pulling off a win will be challenging. Josh Allen should make this game interesting and fun but the Bills weak run defense may be the difference in the game. I am reluctantly picking DEN.
The HOU-NE game, this could realistically be a 13-10 final. If CJ Stroud has a game like last week this game will be over early. This game will probably come down to turnovers and I am picking NE.
The SF-SEA game could be a replay of week 18 match up where the Seahawks won 13-3. Brock Purdy is missing George Kittle hampering their offense. Sam Darnold has an oblique injury which could play into the outcome. From what I have seen of the Seahawk defense is why I am picking SEA.
The LAR-CHI game could be the most entertaining game of the week. Two mid level defenses and two highly ranked offenses could put up sixty or more combined points. This pick basically comes down to one person, Matthew Stafford, and why I am picking LAR.
