Franchise Quarterback

Written by Sam DeCoste The regular season is over, and the playoffs are about to get underway. We began with 32 teams, and now we are down to 12. Only 12 teams remain in the hunt for the Super Bowl, some with longer roads ahead than others to get there.  If your team is in the playoffs, congratulations, and get ready for an exciting postseason. If your team was eliminated, my dearest grievances for you, but don't fret, the draft will be here before you know it. In this postseason edition of power rankings, I will rank each of the 12 playoff teams based on their roster, coaching, regular season record, and probability of making it to the Super Bowl. These power rankings will tell you in order from 12 to 1 who has the best chance of making a deep postseason run, and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in just under five weeks.  The playoffs are here! Let's get right into it!  12. Seattle Seahawks (11-5) The Seahawks are the coldest te...

Written by Sam DeCoste Where has the time gone? We have reached the end of the 2019 regular season. Twenty teams will say goodbye to their season after Sunday, as twelve teams will begin their preparations for the postseason. But with one game to go, there is still playoff seeding to be determined. The 2, 3, 4, and 6 seed are still to be decided in the AFC, and the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 seeds are all still up in the air in the NFC. First round byes are on the line, and home field advantage is still undecided as well. With one game left, there's all to play for, and playoff implications in 12 of the 16 games here in Week 17. Week 16 turned out to be a very strong week for my predictions. I predicted 12 of the 16 games correctly, just one win short of the 150 mark with a week to go. With just 16 games left, this will be my least accurate Predix season to date, but let's see if I can improve on last week and end the season on a high note. With that, for the fi...

Written by Sam DeCoste It's the most wonderful time of the year in the holiday season, but it is also one of the more bittersweet moments of the NFL season. Everyone only has two more games to go, and many teams face playoff elimination if they haven't already been eliminated. But this week features a handful of divisional matchups with first place on the line, which could turn the playoff picture completely upside down. It begins on Saturday, with a high stakes battle between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots in Foxboro. It continues into Sunday, in a showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles where the NFC East is on the line, and ends on Monday night, when the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings battle for the NFC North crown. We may have never seen so many high stakes matchups so late in the season in the same week, so we could be in for a highly entertaining weekend! I al...
