2022 NFL Week 20 Predictions: Divisional Round
Jags +9 over Chiefs, 27-31
-I wish I had the guts to pick a full upset, but having the underdog to cover is as far as I am willing to go. The Jags can score and move the ball and the Chiefs, while still the Chiefs, haven’t quite been at that elite level this year.
Eagles -7.5 over Giants, 30-22
-I honestly don’t know what to do with this game. Any more points, and I’d probably take the Giants. One of two things could happen. The Eagles could be flat, injured, and still rusty from the bye week and lose this game. However, I think it’s more likely that they’re healthy and closer to the team that they were for the first 12 weeks of the season.
Bengals +5.5 over Bills, 27-30
-I honestly don’t know who wins, so the score prediction is a toss up. I am taking the Bengals and the 5.5 for a couple of reasons. First, they are the reigning AFC champions, with Joe Burrow, and have honestly looked like a better team than the Bills over the past 2 months. Second, I have no idea what to make of the Bills. The combination of Allen’s performance since his elbow injury and the general weirdness of their past 2 months makes it kind of impossible to predict whether this (admittedly more talented team) will win or by enough.
49ers -4 over Cowboys, 31-20
-I truly think the Cowboys are fake. What happened to Tampa was sad, because it really wasn’t against a good team. Maybe it will be proven wrong and they will beat San Francisco. However, San Francisco matches Dallas’s flashy talent on defense, but raises it with better coaching and consistency. On offense, they are slightly more skilled at each skill position. And the head coach matchup isn’t even close.
