So far. I’m 75% for the playoffs. Pretty cool. Here’s what I have for Sunday. Hope they’re good games and hope you have fun watching them.

#3 Packers at #2 Seahawks Sun 1/18 1pm MT FOX

Seahawks: On offense, Seattle’s #7 passing game should be slowed by GB’s #8 pass defense. However, Seattle’s #1 running game should dominate GB’s #19 run defense.
Seattle’s #1 defense, which looks like one of Patton’s armored divisions, should be tough against both the #1 GB pass with weakened GB QB Aaron Rodgers, and GB’s mediocre #10 running game.
GB GB’s #1 offense leans heavily on their #1 passing game which is significantly weakened by QB Aaron Roger’s calf injury. GB’s #10 running game will have trouble against Seattle’s #2 run defense putting even more pressure on their weakened passing game.
On defense, GB’s #8 pass defense should slow the Seahawks #7 passing game. However, GB’s #19 run defense is in trouble against Seattle’s #1 running game.
Projected winner: Seahawks

#7 Indy Colts at #1 NE Patriots Sun 1/18 4:30pm MT CBS

NE NE looks like a strange duck on offense. They are #4 in the NFL in points scored, which is how games are won, but in the lower half of the NFL in yards per attempt, both run and pass.
On defense, NE is #8 in points against but weak in yardage against the pass at #14.
Colts On offense, the Colts are #6 in the NFL in points scored and #5 in the pass. They should at least move the ball against NE’s mediocre pass defense. The Colts weak #22 running game which was almost non-existent in the Divisional Playoffs, should also be stopped this week by NE’s #8 run defense.
On defense, the Colts, #19 ranking in points, sre vulnerable to NE’s #4 high-scoring offense. However, in terms of run/pass yardage, the Colts’ defense looks evenly matched against NE.
Could be a close game. Could come down to which QB performs better.
Projected winner: NE but the Colts have a good chance of an upset. May come down to who performs better: NE’s Brady and his #4 offense or the Colts’ Luck and his #5 passing game.
