A giants-patriots superbowl would be a dream come true, nothing I get more enjoyment out of than watching boston teams go down

WSJ reports of a math model that gives the Packers a 68% chance of winning the fixture this weekend:

Each week, Cade Massey, from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, and Rufus Peabody, a Las Vegas sports analyst, predict the week’s playoff games based off a mathematical model that takes only on-field performance into account. In other words, the model is purely objective and ignores outside factors like personnel, coaching and motivation.

The professor and the gambling-sharp focus on four statistics to evaluate offenses and defenses—rushing, passing, scoring and how effectively the ball is advanced relative to down and distance. The data is adjusted for home field and game situation, and weighted by predictive ability. Full report: http://www.wsj.com/articles/nfl-wild...97674?mod=e2tw

2nd Wild Card Game Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks is on now.

ps: Amoo Adessy supports seahawks for complicated Adesorian reasons.

YESSSS!!!

Detriot Lions 6 Seattle Seahawks 26

Seahawks will face Falcons or Cowboys in Divisional Playoffs.

Hopefully they face the Cowboys… IMO the Seahawks and the Falcons are the two best chances for the Cowboys to go down.

What are your predictions for the rest of the playoffs guys?

I think it will be Cowboys v Falcons / Patriots v Steelers

Cowboys v Patriots?

[Paradigm]

we won in green bay back in 2012 we can play in cold weather its not a huge edge for GB. Eli also plays his best football in the play offs so I'm not too worried about him it will be a close game that can go either way

Final score: Packers 38 - Giants 13

[Iranianarsenal11]

Hopefully the Packers can knock off the Cowboys… I don't care what else happens lol

[Ghermez Agha]

Final score: Packers 38 - Giants 13

Well the score line I certainly predicted wrong but the other part of my prediction was spot on - Eli did great, better than he did all season. OBJ and sterling took the wind out of the offense with those 3-4 dropped passes in the first two drives, 2 of which were in the end zone. No consistency as a unit....when one important part/member of the team is having a great day the other isn't even able to pull it's own weight. That's been the problem all seaso and it really never got fixed.

I would personally love a Falcons/Chiefs Super Bowl because of high octane offense vs punishing defense. But my gut says Packers vs Patriots
