Now that the NFL divisional round has been announced, it only seems fitting to examine how the bracket has been
constructed and select two futures on the teams that we think have the highest chance of winning the Super Bowl.
Sounds enjoyable? Fantastic.
In the first round, we lost to Houston, and C.J. Stroud made us look foolish. For the Texans, he really appears to be
the real deal, and in this round, he ought to give Baltimore a serious competition. Although it seems a bit early to
expect Houston to continue winning here, it is reason enough for us to steer clear of Baltimore in the futures market.
Rather, we look to Josh Allen and Buffalo. In the AFC playoffs, Patrick Mahomes will travel for the first time ever.
Given that Kansas City has defeated the Bills in two of the last three postseasons, we believe that this would be an
excellent opportunity for retaliation.
Buffalo has won six straight games and is on a roll. This team needs to overcome its current setback and get to the
Super Bowl.
Green Bay, led by Jordan Love, looked fantastic on Sunday against Dallas. Despite the wide spread, don’t rule out the
Packers making a splash against San Francisco. The Niners are the obvious choice to win this game, but we’re not
thrilled with their -185 price.
Rather, we believe Detroit to be the play. Although their secondary has problems, their attack is very talented and
explosive. At home, they ought to have little trouble defeating Tampa Bay, and if the Packers were to pull off the
upset, they would win the conference championship in Detroit.
Bills and Bucs triumph to end the divisional round — Finally, we had a couple more blowouts to round off what was,
all in all, a disappointing Super Wild Card Weekend in terms of competition, as Buffalo and Tampa Bay easily won at
home. The Bucs crushed Philadelphia right away, putting an end to the Eagles’ historic collapse after they were once
10-1. After the defeat, Jason Kelce—a Philly staple and future Hall of Famer—retired. After a dominant 31-17 victory
over Pittsburgh, Buffalo will face the Chiefs in the following round, which should be another exciting chapter in the
usually entertaining series between these two teams.
In 2022, Aleb Williams files for the NFL Draft. Heisman winner and likely first choice After completing his junior
year at USC, Caleb Williams decided to join the NFL Draft. Whether the Chicago Bears or any other team trades up
to the #1 overall pick, Williams is generally believed to be the best pick in the April draft. Drake Maye, quarterback
for UNC, would probably win if Williams wasn’t there. Right now, Williams is -900 to win the overall.
Overtaking Patrick Roy for the second-most NHL victories is Marc-Andre Fleury. Minnesota Wild goaltender With
his victory yesterday, Marc-Andre Fleury moved up to second place all-time among NHL goalies, passing Patrick
Roy. Fleury’s three Stanley Cup victories only add to his already impressive Hall of Fame credentials. It seems
unlikely that he will surpass Martin Brodeur’s record of 691 career victories, so he still has a ways to go. With 41
points, Fleury and the Wild presently own the fourth-worst record in the West and are +450 to qualify for the
postseason.
