Another week, another fabulous slate of playoff games for football fans. And there鈥檚 no bigger fan than Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.
The governor had a dream week picking NFL and college playoff games for 蜜桃视频app last week. He went 7-1 (2-0 for college and 5-1 for NFL). Moore’s only miss was picking the Jags over the Bills.
But, can he keep his hot streak going? Moore gave 蜜桃视频app his picks in all five upcoming pro and college playoff games.
NFL matchups
For the NFL Divisional games, Moore liked Denver (14-3) at home to beat Buffalo (12-5). The Broncos ended up topping the Bills 33-30.
鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 want to play this Broncos team in Denver right now,鈥� he told 蜜桃视频app. “Bills quarterback Josh Allen has 10 interceptions on the season. I wouldn鈥檛 be surprised if we see at least one this weekend.鈥�
鈥淚n the end, I really think it鈥檚 the defense for the Broncos that鈥檚 going to deliver the win for them,” he said.
In the San Francisco (12-5) at Seattle (14-3) matchup, Moore said, 鈥淭his Seahawks team is looking like the most well-rounded in the playoffs. They鈥檝e got it all.鈥�
The Seahawks trounced the 49ers 41-6.
Moore said he鈥檚 paying attention to the injury status of Seahawks鈥� quarterback Sam Darnold (oblique). “If he plays, I鈥檓 confident, they鈥檒l win,” he said.
New England (14-3) hosted Houston (12-5) in the other AFC Divisional game.
“I鈥檓 putting my faith in Drake Maye here. He鈥檚 been an animal on the field,鈥� Moore said. “This Patriots team has one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL and I think it鈥檚 going to overcome this Texans鈥� defense.”
The Patriots won 28-16.
The governor saved his boldest pick for the final NFL game of the weekend between the Rams (12-5) and the Bears (11-6).
Frigid temperatures are expected in Chicago, which might favor the underdog home team. Bears’ second-year quarterback and Gonzaga High School alum Caleb Williams is coming off a game in which he completed an all-time clutch throw on fourth down to help Chicago advance.
鈥淚 think this is going to be a year for these sophomore quarterbacks,鈥� Moore said, adding he thinks the Rams are “running out of steam.鈥�
“I know this is my big upset of the week, but I鈥檓 locking in on the Bears,鈥� he said.
The Bears fell to the Rams 20-17.
College football
For the College Football Playoff National Championship game Monday night, Moore did not hesitate to pick undefeated Indiana (15-0) over Miami (13-2), despite the game being played in Miami Gardens.
鈥淢iami has been playing great football and they鈥檝e had a hell of a season but I just don鈥檛 see Indiana losing this one,鈥� Moore told 蜜桃视频app. 鈥淚ndiana isn鈥檛 just winning games, they are blowing people out. What they did to Oregon last week was embarrassing. I mean they crushed them.鈥�
The Hoosiers are led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is a Miami native.
鈥淚 just think Mendoza does it all here. He gets the win and then rides into the first spot in the draft,” Moore said.
蜜桃视频app will keep checking in with Moore for his picks until a champion is crowned in the Super Bowl.
