Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast
ROADSHOW. The NFL postseason rolls on without the Buffalo Bills after a controversial catch/interception and pair of bogus pass interference penalties crushed hopes across WNY and beyond.
But that discussion, along with the one about Buffalo’s head coaching vacancy, are both for another day.
Super Bowl berths will be earned this Sunday out west.
In the day’s opener, the detested New England Patriots will eliminate the hometown Denver Broncos. Backup quarterbacks don’t win conference title games.
In the nightcap, expect the Los Angeles Rams to make it a clean sweep by the visiting teams by outscoring the Seattle Seahawks in their third thriller of the season.
HOME teams are capitalized. Teams picked to win the game are listed first, followed by the expected margin of victory. The official Las Vegas odds are in parentheses.
