2015 NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Packers Vs. Seahawks, Patriots Vs. Colts
The 2015 NFL Playoffs don’t have a lot left to them, as only three games remain. This weekend, there will be the two Conference Championship games and then Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona. Only the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, and Indianapolis Colts are left, but who will win? NFL experts have made their picks, and they seem split.
Of the four teams remaining, there are many who are leaning one way or the other for sure, or they just really don’t have an idea as to who will win. The NFL experts from each major media site need to have an opinion though, and that’s why they’ve all weighed in.
Both games will be played on Sunday, with the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks starting things off at 3:05 p.m. EST. The Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots will face off in the second game which begins at 6:40 p.m. EST.
One of the major outlets that is having their NFL experts pick this weekend’s games is ESPN, and they’ve got some good ones. From former players to 24/7 analysts, ESPN’s experts seem one-sided in both games.
