Superbowl 2014-2015

A preview of this season's only game that truly matters the most.

(1) New England Patriots vs. (1) Seattle Seahawks

For the second year in a row, the number 1 seed from both conferences will face each other. New England has been a powerhouse for more than a decade but they haven't won the Superbowl in more than a decade now. The Seahawks won last year in a blowout versus the Broncos.

Patriots 21, Seahawks 14

Conference Championships 2014-2015

A preview of the NFC and AFC championships.

(4) Indianapolis Colts at (1) New England Patriots

Andrew Luck beat one current NFL legend last week and now he takes on Tom Brady. However, unless the Pats have a complete meltdown that won't happen.

Patriots 41, Colts 30

(2) Green Bay Packers at (1) Seattle Seahawks

Many people predicted these two teams to meet in the NFC Championship ship before the start of the season. Last time in week one, the Hawks beat the Packs 36-16. Not much will change this time around.

Seahawks 34, Packers 14

Divisional Playoffs 2014-2015

A preview of this week's divisional games.

(6) Baltimore Ravens at (1) New England Patriots

Last week the Ravens upset the Steelers, their biggest rivals and MosheFootball's pick to win the Superbowl. However, this week Joe Flacco will not see an upset as they should decidedly lose to the Patriots. This seems very possibly like the Patriots year to win after some post season frustration the past few years.

Patriots 41, Ravens 24

(4) Indianapolis Colts at (2) Denver Broncos

Both these teams played each other in their first game of the season. It is only fitting they meet again in the playoff as Peyton Manning and the Bronco take on the Colts and Andrew Luck, that lil ol' kid who replaced him. The first meeting saw a Denver victory when they beat Indy 31-24. However, this time it'll be Indy who will get the win. In the first bold predictions of the year MosheFootball predicted that Luck will throw more yards than Manning and was right. Luck will do so again as Manning has another off game (one of many recently).

Colts 34, Broncos 21

(4) Carolina Panthers at (1) Seattle Seahawks

Wild prediction right now, Carolina upsets the Seahawks and makes the Superbowl. Okay, yes, last week's full playoff prediction stated that the Panthers would upset the Cardinals and make the playoffs. However, it also stated the Seahawks beat the Panthers, but it is time for that to change. The Panthers are one of the hottest teams playing right now, and while they finished with a losing record, if any team can beat the Seahawks, it is them. It would not be out of the question to state that which ever team wins this game wins the Superbowl.

Panthers 17, Seahawks 14

(3) Dallas Cowboys at (2) Green Bay Packers

All the games so far looked like to be good ones. The last game is no exception. Both Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers have played lights out football this year. Both offenses can go for 50 any given week and hold their opponents to low scores. This game is a coin toss, but the edge goes to the team with the underdog mentality.

Cowboys 24, Packers 21

MosheFootball NFL Awards

The season has ended and now it's time to give out our awards.

MVP - Aaron Rodgers
It has been cool recently to like J.J Watt for MVP. While Watt is an amazing player the fact that the Texans didn't make the playoffs have deeply hurt his chances. With Watt the Texans are a 9-7 team without him they are a 7-9 team with the extra losses coming against the Ravens and Bills. Aaron Rodgers has played lights out football posting over 4,300 yards, 38 touchdown, and only five interceptions. With Rodgers the Packers are 12-4, without him they are 9-7 and out of the playoffs. Look at their 8-7-1 record last year as proof.

Runner Up - Tony Romo

Honorable Mentions:
DeMarco Murray
