G-Man's NFL AFC/NFC Championship Plays

G-Man

Pretty much a regular
The teams that backed in should be of concern,
Turnovers allowed teams to get here that were gifted the chance to the main event.

Buffalo had the best QB in the playoffs and outgained Denevr by 110 yds but had five turnovers to blow the game, even when leding 27-24 late in the 4th,

Seattle somehow put up 41 points off 3 SF turnovers - but had only 108 yds passing while it was a 2nd low on the season. They also had only 94 passing yds against Minnesota in a game where the Vikings had FIVE turnovers?
Seattle was the lowest passing yds of all four playoff teams and the weather was the best of the 4 games?

Houston found a way to have back-to-back games with at least 5 turnovers in each. They still outgained New England and held them to 13 first downs - but choked.
The coach had QB Mills on the bench who won starts when Stroud was injured, but f'd up and went home a loser. That coach LOST that game all on his own for not making a change.
Patriots were held to the season low in yardage...248.

The Rams again, failed to cover the spread in the last 2 minutes up by 7 thanks to McVey again going to the prevent after getting a 7point lead in the 4th.
On 4th and 4 from the 42 yd line, he allowed a scrambling bomb in the end zone with 18 seconds on the clock.
He only pressed with the defense in Overtime and was lucky to get the int to stop the Bears,. He's another F-up. who has failed to cover late spreads.

So no matter what this all looks like - not one team played anywhere near their potontial in any game?
Chicago had yardage but gave the Rams three ints.
Regardless of the scores and who won..., no one played well.

And IMO no one really deserves to be here this week.

I'll post my plays later this week when I see the injury reports...

Current lines
New England -5.5 at Denver.
Seattle - 3 vs Rams

Nobody deserves to be here this week is funny! How about the teams who aren’t here? Lol
Point differential both these teams are most deserving. Is there anyone who doesn’t think these 2 teams weren’t the best 2 NFC all season? Just throwing this out there for debate.

I said that because not one team played up to the season averages in any of the games. Nearly every game was decided by turnovers and poor play below what got them here,
 
New England -4 over Denver 15 units

First off - Stidham is no Nick Foles. He's also Not Gary Danielson or Frank Reich. All were established quarterbacks with great records. Stidham doesnt have that.
Denver faced one playoff team that New England faced. The Chargers. LAC was the second worst team in the playoffs,.
Denver was 1-1 while New England was 1-0.
In the two games Denver had, the Chargers had 2 turnovers in each game. Both gams were low scoring.

New England's was a low scoring game @ 16-3 but the Pats had 2 turnovers and 1 for the Chargers.
While NE did have a soft schedule thats exactly what they are facing again in this game. Denver without Nix is just that - a weak opponent.

Rams +3 (-130) over Seattle. 15 units.
While I belive that McVey is the detriment to the Rams, Stafford is more likely to out play Darnold.
Stafford in the last game vs Seattle passed for 457 yds on Seattle. That doesnt sound anywhere near what a good defense would give up.
Seattle is ranked number 1 on defense, but not when facing the Rams.
Rams need to improve their run defense. Thats the one area where Seattle has the edge.
For this game, the Rams have a key component back, Devonte Adams who was out in the last game with Seattle.
