Why Back Jayden Daniels to Outduel Jalen Hurts?

Future NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels has been exceptional in a couple of playoff games.

Daniels torched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 268 yards and 2 TDs.

Then versus the Detroit Lions, Daniels was exceptional, completing over 71% of his passes for 299 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Jayden is firing on all cylinders.

Not only that but he dominated the Eagles in the last matchup.

Daniels spearheaded a come from behind victory when throwing 5 TD passes to just 2 picks, for 258 yards, and rushed for 81 yards.

Right now, Daniels is playing like a 4-year vet who knows what’s required to lead his team to victory.

Why Back Jalen Hurts to Outduel Jayden Daniels?

Although Daniels had he exceptional game versus the Eagles in the last matchup, his awesome play had a lot to do with Jalen Hurts’ injury.

Before Hurts left the game with a concussion, Philly appeared to be on their way to an easy win and cover.

It was only after Hurts went down to the concussion that Daniels rallied the Commanders.

The Eagles became conservative after Jalen got hurt and that more than anything led to the deflated Eagles’ mentality.

Hurts is healthy and playing great football.

He threw for 131 yards and a pair of touchdowns versus the Packers.

Versus the Rams in the NFL Divisional Round, Hurts produced a 44 yards rushing TD.

Jalen only threw for 128 yards in the snow in Philly but he didn’t have to produce a massive game.

Saquon Barkley dominated the Rams’ D again in the 28-22 Philadelphia victory.

Hurts does what is required to win.

So if Daniels and the Commanders begin to post big stats, Hurts will counter with big stats of his own.

Hurts vs Daniels Pick for the NFC Championship Final Analysis

Both Hurts and Daniels should have a decent game throwing the football but we shouldn’t expect down the field throws.

The 10-day weather forecast calls for a relatively nice day of football at 43 degrees and clouds but the wind is going to be at 11 miles per hour.

It could be tough to get the ball into tight windows, which means Daniels and Hurts will use their legs.

The difference between the two is that the Eagles’ D is more capable of stopping the rush.

So Hurts has a chance to eke out a QB victory.

Then again, the Eagles will saddle up to Saquon and ride their running back in this.

Daniels doesn’t have a player of Barkley’s abilities on his team.

So Jayden must do everything by himself.

Expect the rookie to win another QB battle in a game that could come down to the wire.

Why Back Josh Allen to Outduel Patrick Mahomes?

In 5 regular season head-to-head matchups, Josh Allen has gone 4-1 straight up.

Allen often has the KC defense’s number producing big stats both through the air and on the ground.

Although Josh doesn’t have a top receiving target, he does have a lot of excellent under the radar receivers like Kahlil Shakir and Curtis Samuel.

Allen also throws regularly to Dalton Kincaid, one of the more underrated tight ends in the league.

The real key to Allen’s success is the emergence of James Cook.

The Buffalo running back has become an excellent source for Allen.

He takes pressure off Josh so the soon to be NFL MVP can do his thing, which is win games for the mighty Buffalo Bills.

Why Back Patrick Mahomes to Outduel Josh Allen?

Mahomes didn’t have an awe-inspiring regular season.

The Magic One didn’t throw for 4,000 yards, only threw 26 touchdowns, and tossed 11 interceptions.

But although Mahomes didn’t post exceptional stats, the Chiefs landed the best record in the NFL.

The reason? Mahomes knows how to win.

More importantly for Chiefs fans is the fact Patrick has turned it up.

Mahomes did just enough versus the Houston Texans to lead the Chiefs to a win.

In his last regular season game played, on Christmas Day, Mahomes dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers with 320 yards and 3 touchdowns.

When he must, Mahomes can out stat any player in the league, including Josh Allen.

Mahomes vs Allen Pick for the AFC Championship Final Analysis

When it comes to Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen, past stats are irrelevant.

Both quarterbacks have the potential to post massive stats but neither cares about stats.

What they care about is winning the football game.

So to decide the winner of the duel we must first decide which quarterback has the onus to do more for his team.

Without a doubt, that’s Allen.

Steve Spagnuolo will find a way to shut down James Cook and the Buffalo rushing attack.

Joe Brady, the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator, must find a way to unlash Allen in the rushing attack.

If he doesn’t, the Bills have no shot of upsetting the Chiefs.

The guess here is that Brady has success.

That doesn’t mean the Bills beat the Chiefs but it does mean that at the end of the game, the soon to be NFL MVP has the better stats over the three-time Super Bowl MVP.

Allen wins the duel.
