NFL playoffs prediction Whose hoppin on the wagon with me?!

Peyton2MarvinN06 · 12-23-2007, 05:57 PM

Well last year I had a crazy prediction of both the Patriots and the Colts going on the road in the divisional rounds and both winning their games... It came true and we beat New England @ home, then we all know what happened from there...

P2M predicts:

The Jacksonville Jaguars will roll the Steelers in the wild card round... The Chargers will roll the Browns... My crazy prediction is that Jacksonville will go to New England on January 12th/13th and beat the Patriots to ruin their perfect season! The Colts will beat the Bolts in the dome to get revenge and setup a 3rd meeting between themselves and Jags @ the RCA Dome on January 20th! I'm telling you guys, this Jaguars team is for real... Look at teams that have run the ball well on New England(i.e. Colts and Baltimore)... Philly and AJ Feeley just threw all over them and that was another story... Anyways, I really think that the Jags are tough enough to be able to keep up offensively and their defense can definitely step up to the plate and keep Brady in check! Then, after they beat New England, they will be talking all big and bad about how they will finally beat the Colts and they will come in here on the Jan 20th and get their clocks cleaned! Thats my story and I'm stickin to it! Everyone thought I was crazy last year! Let's see how crazy ya'll think I am this year!

Assuming the playoff and wild card rounds play out to seeding, how much do you think New England will be favored by over Jacksonville in the divisional round? 7, 8??? More??? I'll be all over Jacksonville and the points whatever they are getting!

Who else is hoppin on this train with me!?

Jags beating the Patriots. I dunno. The Patriots are firing on all cylinders and playing excellent football. If the Jags do beat the Patriots, that would be a jaw dropper. It's too soon to say, but I can't imagine the linesmaker will have the Jags as an underdog by 20+ points against the Patriots. That would be ridiculous.

At last check, Pats were -11 vs. Indy if that matchup happened, so my guess is that they would be -13 to -13.5 over Jax.

LT Profits · 12-23-2007, 07:49 PM

Oh and let me add that I am probably joining you with Jax at +10.5 or more, which it will be.

nobodies gonna beat brady this year PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LT Profits · 12-23-2007, 07:57 PM

I agree that NE wins it all, but I think Jax is the only team in the NFL capable of staying within single-digits.

The Colts had their chance at Indy. and I don't think a rematch at NE will be as close. I'm not that concerned with the Pats' lethargic play as of late, as they know they could beat these teams blindfolded, and the one time since the Colts game that they faced a team percieved to be a threat, they blew out Pittsburgh.

That said, the Jags running game looks unstoppable right now, and at the very least, I think Jax will be able to shorten the game by controlling the clock.

pats -11 on the colts in the playoffs?

that is f*ckin g nuts, i'd take the colts as my best bet there

i think the line should be -3 pats pending some injury updates

colts can beat pats even without freeney and marvin but hope the weather isn't too bad

That is absolutely insane! If Jacksonville is getting more than 10, than I am GONNA BE TAKING OUT A LOAN! Taylor and Jones-Drew can and will effectively run the ball on New England's defense! LT, I can see where you are coming from about the Patriots, but I honestly think the Jags will beat the Patriots up if not BEAT THEM and then the Colts will take care of them the following week! If my boys are getting double digits against the Pats, then I will definitely be taking out a loan! The Patriots haven't exactly lit the world on fire in their last 4 or 5 games! They can be beaten and they WILL BE BEATEN! Harrison will be back and Manning has looked pretty sharp the last few weeks... This may be destiny for the Patriots to go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl, but I happen to think that the Jags or the Colts will have their number!

I'm not sure it's quite that cut and dry. Jags are becoming a very public team and they're running attack fits right into NE's weakness of stopping the run, while they're aggressive defense is capable of turning NE's offense over, a necessity for beating the Pats in Foxboro.

10/10.5 would be my guess, and I'd think JAX would be a public dog.

-3?

NE was -5 at Indy. I don't think you'll see this one in single digits.

Therein lies the problem... it will be.

The Jags are better suited than Indy of winning a playoff game in Foxboro.

Packers beat the Pats in the SB. Mark it down.

Destroyer · 12-23-2007, 09:51 PM

The Patriots are undefeated after week 16. That's impressive. If the Patriots haven't lit the world on fire, what NFL team has?

i won't believe the colts double digit dogs until i see it

i am saying the line for me is pats -3 not what the books will put it at (what they think the public will split on)

if the line was colts +3.5 then i would take colts

that said i can't see the books giving the colts over 10. hell even over 7 is crazy imo. colts got the speed to beat the pats.

Peyton,

I don't necessarily disagree with you, as I bet Jacksonville at 20-1 to win the Super Bowl! I was just responding to what the line would be, using NE -11 over Indy as a base.

rjt,

Excellent point on Jax strength vs. NE weakness, and that is actually main reason I bet Jax as 20-1, as I think they are the only team NE won't beat by double-digits (sorry Peyton, that means Indy too in Foxboro). However, a lot of linemaking is perception, so do you realy think the NE line vs. Jax will be exactly the same as vs. Indy? Granted, I personally think Jax has the better cjance to beat NE, but the public square may move the line closer to 13.

goldengoat,

NE -11 over Indy was already posted in Vegas a few weeks ago. I must say that I have been searching for a revised LVSC number, but with no success so far.

LT,

If the Jags are getting more than 10, than I'm gonna have to take out a loan... Just like RJT and yourself pointed out, the Jags can run Taylor and Jones-Drew and keep Brady off the field... Also, if the weather is bad, their running game is stout and can put points on the board for them... Maroney/Faulk vs. Jags run D is questionable!? The Patriots line would have to do some serious work because the Jags D has been on a mission lately! These playoffs could end up getting pretty crazy! There sure will be some really intense games! If JAX @ NE is +10.5 or more I will take it for a few thousand if possible! If I were to put up something @ Matchbook, what would be a good line for me to offer if I want Jacksonville ML vs. New England when the time comes around? Thanks in advance!

I don't think Jacksonville could smell the Pats or the Colts. I believe that NE and Indy are a step above everyone.

Also believe SD is better than Jacksonville as well. We'll see good call last season though.
