Re: Playoff Predictions
I'll just say that Dallas managed to fall into the best situation possible. If they beat the 49ers they will then likely play Tampa Bay and then likely GB.
No excuses for Dallas here. Unless the whole team gets ravaged by covid or something.
I'm going to predict GB vs KC in the Super Bowl and then a win for KC. Boring prediction I know but that's what I would put money on.

I like our chances against the Cowboys. Hand the ball off to Deeboo and Mitchell and milk the clock.

What year is it? 1992?
I guess the Bills are owed a little karmic payback.

Re: Playoff Predictions
Honestly this is the widest open and toughest year I've seen. As much as I hate to say it, the Bucs and Patriots seem tough to beat, and that would be a nightmare SB for me....though of course there would be all sorts of stories. So sick of Brady and the Pats.
GB is the best team but they could blow it against TB.
The Rams don't seem like a good playoff team though they are stacked.
Cowboys are weird. They look dominating sometimes and not so good others.
49ers are looking tough.
Who knows about the Eagles or Cards? I think the Cards started 7-0 and finished 4-6.
Seems like I'd rank them GB, TB, DAL, SF/LAR, PHI, AZ
The AFC is even tougher. Titans look dominating sometimes and not good at all others. KC gets lucky to win so much. They seem beatable when I watch the Chargers play them and beat them or lose close every time, but they are good in the playoffs with an experienced coach.
Patriots - Belichick is the game master but a rookie QB in the playoffs? Not sure. I imagine a lot of running and short passes as usual for them.
Bills - they seem very good most times too with some stinkers in there.
Cincy and LV playing very well.
Pitt I don't expect much from.
I really think anyone except Pitt and maybe LV could win the AFC, but I really wouldn't count out the Raiders either. They are well balanced, seem to have a chip on their shoulder, have dealt with tons of adversity, and I could see them making a run.
Who I'd most like to see: BUF, TEN, CINCY, LAR, KC, PIT, NE (as much as I normally root against division rivals, at least I would know that the Chargers lost close games to a SB winner) and I really don't like Pit and hate NE.
NFC: AZ, LAR, PHI, GB, SF, DAL, TB
Those are the orders of my preference.
I will go with an upset of LV over GB for something different...after Madden died and all that.

Re: Playoff Predictions
Hermes might end up being right after all?
DVOA is usually a good indicator of things.
The Hawks end up 8th. Fascinating. If Wilson is healthy, I still maintain that they would have been a playoff team. They we're 0-5 in games decided by 3 points or less. Some of those we're with Geno Smith as the starter. They just had some really **** luck this year unfortunately. The advanced stats back that up.

Rams & Cards both don't look good at the moment. If they weren't playing each other this week, then I'd likely pick both to lose.
Dallas should beat the Niners at home. But I don't trust them to go much further with how inconsistent they've been.
We're looking at a Bucs/Packers NFCC rematch.

Pitt I don't expect much from.
If Henry is healthy & ready to go, I think Tennessee is in the drivers seat. But that's a big if?
I don't know what to make of KC. I really don't. I could see them making it back to the Bowl. I could also see them crash & burn. Having said that, I think they beat Pittsburgh easily.
The Patriots ceiling is lower with Jones. Which means a loss to Buffalo.
I expect Cincinnati to handle Vegas at home.
Titans, Chiefs, Bills. One of those teams will take the conference. I'm just not sure which one.

Re: Playoff Predictions
Usually I'm pretty bad at predicting but I'm gonna take a shot anyway:
Wildcard
CHIEFS beat the Steelers
I hate to say it but that's the most one sided one. I'd love Big Ben to beat the Chiefs but I just can't see it. Their O-Line is horrible and KC is getting better and better.
PATRIOTS beat the Bills
Dunno, Buffalo is on a better run but I think Belichick could find a way to win this one. The Bills didn't really impress me this season.
BENGALS beat the Raiders
Another interesting one but I take Cincinnati's young guns pretty easily.
BUCS beat the Eagles
Easy one for Brady.
49ERS beat the Cowboys
I'm expecting a great game. Maybe it's just the fan talking out of me but I believe San Francisco can win this one.
RAMS beat the Cardinals
LAR are my dark horse to win it all and Arizona fell off after a hot start.
Divisional
CHIEFS beat the Patriots
Mahomes and his gang are just too strong. Can't see the Patriots seriously challenging the Chiefs with a rookie QB.
TITANS beat the Bengals
This one could go either way but if Henry comes back somewhat healthy, I like the Titans' chances a little bit better.
49ERS beat the Bucs
I may be leaning too far out the window as you should never bet against Tom Brady but they didn't look that impressive to me. SF could win this one.
PACKERS beat the Rams
To be honest my gut feeling says the Rams could beat GB but I'm still gonna go with the Packers. Rodgers is just too good.
Championship
TITANS beat the Chiefs
A healthy Henry could make the difference.
PACKERS beat the 49ers
Green Bay might be a little bit too much for the Niners
Superbowl
PACKERS beat the Titans
The two best teams meet in the Superbowl with Aaron Rodgers winning his 2nd ring.
Wildcard

Re: Playoff Predictions
Superbowl winner comes from NFC. The Cowboys are an intriguing bet considering how good their defensive stats are (2nd DVOA) and we know they can score, but they could also easily lose Rd 1. The Rams could put it together with a lot of big name acquisitions like the Bucs. Or the Bucs could just win.
Gut instinct is Rodgers has to make a 2nd Superbowl in his prime win or lose and this seems like a good breakthrough year
AFC - I don't see the Chiefs making 3 straight. Titans ride home field and Henry
Superbowl - Packers over Titans

I for some reason am liking the Buffalo Bills. No, I'm not from Buffalo. But they seem to be peaking at the right time. Of course anything could happen. But It just looks like the Bills are runnin hot goin into the playoffs

I really wish the Vikings made the playoffs so I could pull for a Vikings/Bills superbowl. Fanbases deserve that one. Both 0-4 in Super Bowls.

Bills gonna go to the super bowl and somehow get baptized by Tom Brady. Yes it'd be nice to see someone else win it and I think that'll happen but alcohol sales would be through the roof in western NY if that were to happen.
