We’re in Week 12 now, and the playoff picture is taking shape. While the playoff predictions are simple(coming up), choosing the champion is tough and takes some luck. Of course, by now the top teams have emerged. So let’s get going!
Dallas Cowboys
Well, duh, right? Dallas has had 400 yards in 8 straight games, Elliott is on pace to reach 1700 and more, and Dak has a 108.6 rating. The defense isn’t stellar, but is getting the job done. They’re poised to reach at least 12-4, and maybe up to 15-1. Only the Seahawks stand a chance, but do they against the top team in the league?
Seattle Seahawks
Meanwhile, Seattle is back. Wilson is probably healthy again(look up the touchdown catch), and the offense is clicking. Rawls is back, Graham is back, and Kam Chancellor is back. The defense is dominant, and a battle against the high-flying Dallas offense is imminent in January.
New England Patriots
Tom Brady is playing out of his mind right now, with a crazy 123.3 rating. Like, whoa!! The Bills loss will hurt them, but this team is firing. Nothing can stop the offense, and the defense is still good. Cowboys…Patriots…Super Bowl LI!!!
Note: I apologize for my millennial slang. I am only 12, after all. ((Hint drop!)Why did I do that?)
Oakland Raiders
This team could be the only SB spoiler in the AFC. The offense is doing great, but penalties must be cleaned up. And the defense needs a lot of work if they want to stop Tom Brady. But there is hope for the Bay Area. Oh wait, they’re moving to Vegas! Ouch.
New York Giants
While this might surprise some, New York is on the rise. Winners of five straight, the Big Apple looks good. Manning has picked it up recently, and the defense is remarkable. They’ll need a bit of luck, but the Giants can make it to the NFL’s biggest stage.
My Prediction
I think the Cowboys will certainly win out, and make it to Houston. The Raiders make a strong case, but New England is just too strong, so they make it. I’m biased, but in a thriller Super Bowl, Elliott goes for 150 and a TD, Brady is shut down, and Dallas wins, 30-14.
Thanks, register, and look for more this fine Thanksgiving!
