With the Denver Broncos eliminated, Predominantly Orange writer Baylor Bradac joins me to predict the AFC Wildcard matchups of the 2019 playoffs

The 2018 season didn’t turn out well for the Denver Broncos, but the show must go on into the 2019 AFC Wildcard round of the playoffs.

After an entertaining season (for some teams and their fans), the playoffs seeds are set and the first round, the wildcard round, is just around the corner.

The AFC Playoff seeds are as follows:

1. Kansas City Chiefs
2. New England Patriots
3. Houston Texans
4. Baltimore Ravens
5. Los Angeles Chargers
6. Indianapolis Colts

There were some teams that were in the playoffs prior to week seventeen, like the Chiefs and the Patriots. Then there were teams that had to learn their fate during the last week of the season, like the Colts.

Sometimes, a team’s playoff fate is not determined by themselves; but rather by the results of other games. The first round of the playoffs is the Wildcard round.

In this round of the playoffs, there will be four teams in each conference competing to move on to the next round.

This week, the Colts travel to Houston to take on their division rival Texans and the Chargers are in Baltimore to take on the Ravens.

Without any further ado, let’s get the show on the road and see who we think will win in the NFL Playoffs, AFC Wildcard edition.
