My 2018 NFL Predictions

With AFC and NFC championships tomorrow and Super Bowl right around the corner, I wanted to do a quick blog to share my predictions. Of course, sports are so unpredictable but its hard to not see the Pats in yet another super bowl considering they’ve won five. Despite his hand injury, it has been confirmed that Tom Brady will start tomorrow against the Jags. So with Brady, I’m pretty certain they will be able to pull off a win. With that being said I’m going with the Patriots beating the Jaguars for the AFC title. Picking who the Pats would face in Super Bowl was a little harder since the Vikings and Eagles both have the same record(14-3), and I think they are both capable of being Super Bowl contenders. The Eagles haven’t seen a Super Bowl game since 2004 and if the Vikings manage a win this will be their first Super Bowl in over 40 years. This NFC matchup between the two is the 5th one, with the last being in 2008. Even though the Vikings have lost 5 consecutive NFC championships, this will be their first with QB Case Keenum. We saw what the Vikings were capable of doing in the last seconds of the game against the Saints with Keenum’s 61-yard pass to Stefon Diggs. They were also ranked #1 in defense for points allowed per game (15.8) and yards given up per game (275.9). Not to sell backup QB Nick Foles short, who completed 23 out of 30 passes for a total of 246 yards against the Falcons, but having Carson Wentz out with a torn ACL is a disadvantage for the Eagles. If it wasn’t obvious I’m rooting for a Vikings win. So there you have it my Super Bowl 2018 prediction matchup is the Patriots and Vikings....

Guess we shall stay tuned to see how it plays out! 

Happy Football!!!
