After the Ronda de Comodins, it’s time to take an initial look at the matches that await us in the Ronda Divisional, next weekend
Dear friends of ESPN, the Ronda de Comodins he left us good matches and some important surprises.
Except for your best opinion, Los Angeles Rams –those who just two weeks ago lost to the New York Jets– offered an immaculate performance to defeat the champion of their division, Seattle Seahawks.
the Baltimore Ravens defeating a Tennessee Titans it’s no surprise, but it was another team’s victory as a visitor.
The of Cleveland Browns, No head coach and no training a week for COVID-19 issues, and sticking to the Pittsburgh Steelers… well.
Now, the Divisional Round it carries very attractive matings. Let’s review:
National conference
the Rams will have a hard time visiting the “frozen tundra” of Green Badia on Saturday.
Sean McVay, Head coach of the Rams, Gave a lecture on how to prepare a game to defeat the experienced Seattle at home. However, it looks unlikely to repeat the performance now in front of them Packers.
The ground attack of Los Angeles with Cam Akers helped control the game clock in his favor. Now, they will have to repeat it to leave the quarterback out of the field for as long as possible Aaron Rodgers.
Still, it will be interesting to see the confrontation between the defensive of the Rams and the offensive of Green Bay, Commanded by the almost Most Valuable Player of the season, Rodgers.
When sharing the South division from National conference, Will be the third match between these two teams in the year.
In regular season games, the Saints cause three ball exchanges. To a large extent this was one of the reasons for the defeats of the Bucs in front New Orleans.
I don’t think the game is loaded this time towards the Saints, Although they remain favorites. Remember that the Saints they have suffered unlikely playoff eliminations in recent years.
One of them for a failed tackle of Marcus Williams a Stefon Diggs of the Vikings of Minnesota the so-called ‘Minnesota Miracle‘. Another, for unmarked interference against Chauncey Gardner-Johnson of the Rams. Gardner-Johnson now play for New Orleans.
It will be a third duel between Tom Brady i Drew Brees, Who will turn 42 on January 15.
To lose the Saints, This could be the last game in the race for Brees. Apparently he will announce his retirement at the end of the season.
American conference
The champions will face at home a team that has become a threat in recent weeks.
Cleveland arrives with morale with magnificence, after defeating twice in eight days to the Steelers.
Much merit for a team that could not count on its head coach, Kevin Stefanski, Positive for COVID-19. Nor could they train at their facilities because of the same situation.
Still, I stick with the magic of Patrick Mahomes and his coach Andy Reid. The offensive fight of Kansas City it is amazing.
There is room to ask if the three-week break Mahomes it could affect his pace, but I don’t think that’s the case.
Baltimore it has turned out to be an awkward team.
The “no one wants to face …” applies to them Corbs, Who arrive hooked and motivated.
The offensive led by Lamar Jackson which weeks ago was predictable, now looks unstoppable. The defense is still very respectful and will face an offensive led by the sensation of the year.
For its part, Josh Allen, You will play! the Invoices they have virtually no ground attack, and it all goes through Allen’s arm and decisions.
Last year, the quarterback Buffalo had 20 scoring passes. This season he raised the figure to 37.
But he was not the only one. Allen he is also the leader of this team.
Good proof that they will have Invoices, But I have no doubt that they will come to the Conference End.
Logic says locals are favorites, not to play on their field, as the crowd in the stands this year is not a factor, but they should win because they are supposed to be the best.
But this is the NFL, The most difficult league to predict.
