Wild Card Weekend Predictions

By the time this posts, we'll all know how close my predictions came.

In under an hour from the time of this writing, the first NFL playoff game of this season will kick off in Kansas City. I like to make game predictions, and I figured I'd give the four Wild Card games a shot for my weekly post. I'm going with some edgy scorelines, so maybe this article will be laughable by the time it posts. We shall just have to see.


Tennessee @ Kansas City

Edge: Kansas City 62%

The Chiefs looked rough for a good stretch toward the middle of the season, but they'll get everything clicking in a 31-24 victory over the Titans.

Atlanta @ Los Angeles

Edge: Atlanta 53%

The Rams have had a miraculous season, and I would like to see them win, but I think the Falcons have the right blend of experience and fire to roast themselves some mutton. Atlanta 24-21 Los Angeles.

Buffalo @ Jacksonville

Edge: Buffalo 51%

This is almost definitely the most controversial pick on this list. Jacksonville's defense has been smothering, while Buffalo only leaked into the playoffs after a 4th and 12 conversion by Andy Dalton against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17 of the Regular Season. Still, I think Buffalo can fly themselves to a nail-biting 21-20 win over Jacksonville.

Carolina @ New Orleans

Edge: Carolina 51%

The Saints will come marching in, but they won't be marching out quite so confidently. Cam Newton had 754 rushing yards across 139 attempts in the Regular Season, and he'll have 70+ yards with his feet on Sunday in a shocking 24-23 win over New Orleans.


These predictions are all pretty nondescript, but I think that's fine. The games will speak for themselves. I don't know much about how the scorelines will align in my favor over the next day plus change, but I like how they sound, and if I've turned out to be terribly wrong come Monday, we can all have a nice laugh over it.

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.

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.

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.
