Being that Marquis Teague is a big Indianapolis Colts fan and the NFL playoffs start this weekend, RedEye put the Bulls rookie's prognostication skills to the test. His unshakable loyalty is, of course, understandable. —B.C.
AFC WILD CARD ROUND
Cincinnati vs. Houston
Teague's pick: Texans (Citing the "Jimmy Butler effect")
Indianapolis vs. Baltimore
Teague's pick: Colts (Naturally)
Results:
NFC WILD CARD ROUND
Minnesota vs. Green Bay
Teague's pick: Vikings (He's an Adrian Peterson fan.)
Seattle at Washington
Teague's pick: Seahawks (Citing the "Nate Robinson effect")
AFC DIVISIONAL ROUND
Houston at New England
Teague's pick: Patriots
Indianapolis at Denver
Teague's pick: Colts (He is a Peyton Manning fan, but said he can't pick against his squad.)
NFC DIVISIONAL ROUND
Minnesota at Atlanta
Teague's pick: Falcons (Because his brother lives in Atlanta and plays for the Hawks.)
Seattle at San Francisco
Teague's pick: Seahawks (Nate Robinson is quite influential, isn't he?)
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Indianapolis at New England
Teague's pick: Colts
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Seattle at Atlanta
Teague's pick: Falcons
SUPER BOWL
Indianapolis vs. Atlanta
Teague's pick: Colts
There you have it; Indianapolis is headed to the NFL summit. We'd like to thank Teague for his predictions, but unless the Colts have a "Hoosiers"-type miracle in them, he might not want to quit his day job.
