Conference Predix: Who's Going to the Super Bowl?

Written by Sam DeCoste A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line for four teams. The Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers are the only teams remaining in the battle for championship glory. By tomorrow night, we will finally know who will be playing in Miami for Super Bowl LIV. If I have learned anything over the last 20 weeks, I will tell you exactly who will be there and how they will get there. Buckle your seatbelts for Titans-Chiefs and Packers-49ers this Sunday, as the postseason comes to a close. After a disastrous Wild Card round, I went 3-1 in the Divisional round, with my only loss being the Ravens shocking exit to the Titans. If I win out the rest of the postseason, I will finish above .500 for the playoffs. Let's see if I can get that done! Let's right into the Predix! Here are my records over this season: My record last week: 3-1 Postseason record: 3-5 Regular season record: 159-96-1 (62.1% winning percentage)

Divisional Predix: Seahawks and Packers Renew Playoff Rivalry

Written by Sam DeCoste What a thrilling first week of playoffs it was. Two overtime contests, three road teams winning, a playoff comeback for the ages, and two Hall of Fame quarterbacks exiting in the first round. Wins by the Texans, Titans, Vikings, and Seahawks set up another exciting week of matchups on tap for Divisional Weekend. The next round kicks off in San Francisco, where the 49ers host the Vikings, and concludes in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, where the Green Bay Packers host the Seattle Seahawks. Sandwiched in between are matchups between the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens as well as the Houston Texans facing the Kansas City Chiefs. As exciting as last week was, the results turned out to be remarkably unpredictable. For the first time in Predix history, I failed to correctly predict a single game. That's right, I finished 0-4 in Wild Card Weekend. But don't lose faith in me, last week was wild, and it proved to be unlucky for my predictions. But

Wild Card Predix: Can the Titans Win in Foxboro?

Written by Sam DeCoste Win or go home. Dare I say more? The playoffs have arrived! Twelve teams are in the dance, and eight teams are in action this weekend. The Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers, and Packers will take the week off and enjoy the playoffs like all of us will on Wild Card Weekend, and there are some great games on tap. The AFC will kick off the playoffs on Saturday when the Bills travel to Houston to take on the Texans, and will continue when the Titans visit Foxboro to battle the Patriots, who are making a rare appearance on Wild Card Weekend. On Sunday, the NFC will take over, when the Vikings and Saints renew their postseason rivalry, and the Seahawks travel to Philly to take on the Eagles. With the end of the regular season, my Predix record for 2019 is in the books. It turned out to be my least accurate Predix in my three seasons predicting games, and my accuracy dipped by 8 games from 2018. While the regular season is over, I can still finish strong with the postse
