NFL Divisional Playoffs Preview
Blog and Tackle

The wild card round is over and it is now time for the NFL Divisional Playoffs. The wild card games were intriguing because all of the teams that won in that round were all on the road. These teams will look to repeat that next week when they go on the road and face the two highest seeded teams in their respected conferences. Here are some previews for the upcoming games.

Kansas City vs New England

Kansas City is the hottest team in the NFL. They have won their last 11 games and easily took care of the Houston Texans in the wild card round. This is not anything new for New England. This is the 7th consecutive year New England has been in the playoffs and they are the defending Super Bowl Champions. Kansas City will have their work cut out for them but it should be an exciting game.

Pittsburgh vs Denver

Pittsburgh comes into this game after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals with a late game winning field goal. Although they won, they had some numerous injuries in the game. Antonio Brown suffered a concussion and Ben Roethlisberger suffered an injury to his right shoulder. Both are expected to play though but Antonio Brown has to be cleared from concussion protocol in order to be cleared. Denver also has some questions as well. This will be Peyton Manning’s first full game back after his torn plantar fascia injury. This game should be the survival of the fittest as it seems the healthiest team may be the one who pulls it out.

Green Bay vs Arizona

This game will be a rematch from when the teams played last month. Arizona demolished Green Bay 38-8 in that matchup. In that game Green Bay Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was under pressure all game. Green Bay’s offensive line will have to play better in this game and Rodger’s receivers need to be able to make some plays for him. Arizona has been one of the best looking teams this year. They did suffer an embarrassing loss in their last game to the Seattle Seahawks. Arizona should be back to normal this game though.

Seattle vs Carolina

This game will also be a rematch from a game they played earlier in October. Carolina was on the road in that game and made an epic comeback to stun Seattle. Carolina has only suffered one loss this season and they have been a well-oiled machine all season. Seattle is one of the hottest teams going right now and they are also the two time defending NFC Champions. This game will not be an easy one for Carolina. This game should be one of the most exciting ones of the weekend.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
