Sean’s Picks, 2014 Wild Card



Sean Kennedy

It’s that magical time of year again where the not-so-sucky to semi-decent teams get to duke it out in wild card weekend!

Get ready for an exciting weekend and here we go.

Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts

The Chiefs should be well-rested coming into this week after sitting their starters against the Chargers. The Colts are playing at home and already own a 23-7 victory over the Chiefs a few weeks ago. But this is a well-rested and determined Kansas City team. This should be one of the more interesting games and I see Kansas City winning a close one.

Sean’s Pick: Chiefs beat Colts, 24-21.


New Orleans Saints at Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are coming fresh off a close win over Dallas so they are determined to make a deep playoff run with their quick strike offense led by a red-hot Nick Foles.

The Saints cleaned up against Tampa Bay last week but have struggled in the past few weeks. Drew Brees will need to put up a lot of points to keep up with the Eagles’ offense and I can see a potential track meet between these two teams.

Sean’s Pick: Eagles beat Saints, 35-27.


San Diego Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals

The Chargers barely were able to beat the second stringers of the Chiefs. That does not bode well for them.

Cincy, however, is coming off a big win over the Ravens in which they pulled away in the 4th quarter. There is some potential for this to be a good game, but not with the Chargers’ playoff history and the way Cincy has been playing.


Sean’s Pick: Bengals beat Chargers, 30-17.


San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers

Rodgers looked rusty last week but he did enough to beat da Bears. San Francisco is riding a 6-game winning streak that includes a win over Seattle, so the momentum is in their favor.

Rodgers will put up some big numbers, but ultimately the rust will cost him and the 49ers will take advantage of some costly turnovers.

Sean’s Pick: 49ers beat Packers, 30-20.
