Results of the Hole # 18 Conference Game Weekend:
Prediction: Broncos 35, Patriots 30 Win: I stated that 3rd down conversion rate and clock management would be the keys in this one. The Denver machine controlled the game for almost 36 minutes and ran 71 plays. “Blount Force Trauma” ran the ball against Denver 5 times for only 6 yards!! They amassed a total of 27 first downs and were never threatened as the Broncos will represent the American Football Conference in Super Bowl XLVIII.
Prediction: 49ers 20, Seahawks 17 Loss: This was a tough game to watch. If you were a defensive enthusiast then it was right up your alley. San Fran had control of this one as they totally swarmed and corralled Russell Wilson all night. The slippery QB was held to zero yards on 5 carries and was sacked 4 times. Two questionable calls from the officials took the game out of the 49ers hands. Seattle came up with two crucial interceptions to seal the deal and they will represent the National Football Conference on February 2nd in New Jersey.
Record for the week: 1 – 1. Total for the Year: 57– 38 – 1
