2014 NFL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS:
This was a little tricky. Last years numbers and predictions didn't quite make sense. This year, it seems easier for us to make out the frauds and legit contenders. Although Denver has a league best yards over opponent, they are flat on turnover margin with the easiest schedule of all NFL teams. I have to say, think the NFL scheduling was thinking about Manning this year? Sorry Manning...not this year. Cincinnati is the only other team left with positive yards over opponent. They lead the AFC in defensive scores with 6 with a solid special teams. In the NFC Seattle appears to run away with an impressive 65.4 yards over opponent and +20 in turnover margin. Also helping is 5th in special teams and 4 defensive scores. Although saints lead in yardage, they lack the takeaway ratio to make them contenders. They are the ONLY NFL team with no defensive scores, and near last in special teams.
Here are my predictions based on system:
AFC FRAUDS: KC, IND, SD
NFC FRAUDS: NO, GB
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP:
CINCINNATI vs DENVER
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP:
CAROLINA vs SEATTLE
SUPER BOWL MATCHUP:
Cincinnati vs Seattle (+1500)
SUPER BOWL WINNER:
Seattle (+260)
