the final four
As I type this there are three NFL games that remain before the lonnnggggg off-season kicks in. Teams are beginning to make their head coaching hires and fill out their staff. Draft prep is in full swing for nearly ninety percent of the league. However, for the four teams that remain this weekend’s game is for a trip to New Orleans.
Las Vegas has picked their favorites to win it all, but the point of this article is give hope to all fans of the final four teams. There’s one thing you can count on in the NFL, and that is that you can’t count on anything. Let’s get to it!
Why the Chiefs can win it all: Experience
There is just something about this team that I feel like they have over the field, and that is a calm and experience factor. When you look at KC it’s evident they have talent, perhaps the greatest QB/Coach combo ever, but outside of that I think the roster just never panics. They have an underlying confidence that they will win every game no matter what. I know the current storyline is their “help” by the refs, but let’s not get confused by the track record of Mahomes. He has 70% win record in one score games all-time. There isn’t referee help in all those games. They know how to win and to me that might be the scariest thing about them,
Why the Bills can win it all: Complete
When you look back at the Bills run, or lack thereof, it seems to always come to an end against the mighty Chiefs. However this Bills team seems different. They are complete this season, unlike the prior ones. The running game has thrived this year with Cook, and the defense is good enough to win any game. Losing Rapp will hurt them this weekend, but if they can just keep the physicality through four-quarters I think the Chiefs could see a side of them they have never seen before. Buffalo handed KC their first loss during the regular season, could they send them home this weekend?
Why the Eagles can win it all: Explosive
When we all watched the New York Giants Hard Knocks and saw the concern Mr. Mara had if the Saquon left the building it was just cringe worthy. Welllllllll looks like the owner knew best. Barkley has been nothing short of incredible this season. This team can hurt you so quickly if you’re not careful. They might be the most “talented” roster from top to bottom that remains in these playoffs. Their head coach has silenced the haters and it feels like the team has rallied behind him. Don’t light the match with this team that might explode.
Why the Commanders can win it all: Innocence
Ok this might sound a little hypocritical, but just think of the ol’ saying “What you don’t know doesn’t hurt you.” I just think this team is playing with thought of “why not us?” And to be honest I can’t blame them. Daniels has been nothing short of incredible this season. The way they just kept throwing haymakers back to the mighty Lions was impressive. I think if they can get out to fast starts there’s really nothing that says that can’t beat anyone. Their coaching is exactly what this team needs.
