NFL Playoff Predictions: Going all the way to Super Bowl LIII
By Erik Lambert
NFC Divisional round
Dallas Cowboys at New Orleans Saints
This will be a game where the Cowboys has plenty of confidence going into. They beat the Saints earlier this year, shutting their mighty offense down to just 10 points. Why should they think they can’t do it again? Well namely because that was in Dallas. Everybody knows Brees and that offense are different in the Superdome. Not to mention there’s the revenge factor and the extra week for Sean Payton to prepare. As good as the Cowboys are, they may not be able to keep up.
DAL 17, NO 34
Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams
This is almost the exact same situation as the matchup above. The Rams went into Chicago and were humbled by the Bears defense, scoring just six points. Jared Goff was brutal in that game with four interceptions. This time they won’t have to deal with that cold Lake Michigan winter and can be nice and warm in their home stadium. This should make it easier to attack that Bears defense while they don’t have to fear Mitch Trubisky. Right?
