I'd like to see the Bengals in the play-offs, which means I'm looking at defeats for the Broncos and the Dolphins in the late window. Don't see it happening though...

They're certainly a fun team to watch.

Eagles not avoided 

Pack have a top 10 rush defense but I don't think that will count for much against Barkley.

That TD by Vele 

 

Chiefs clearly can't be arsed today, but that's your prerogative when you handle your business early.

Bengals fans must absolutely hate the Chiefs right now

Mad take from Fant for the Seahawks TD.

God I hope either the Bills or the Ravens can finally stick one over the Chiefs in the play offs

[CheeseHead]

That could be a costly defeat for the Rams, they have to now face the Lions or Vikings

[CheeseHead]

How about some Superbowl predictions before the play-offs begin? I'm going for Bills to beat the Lions.

Can't decide if I think Lions or Eagles will make it to the Superbowl, but I'm hoping if they do they will end up beating the Chiefs.

Chiefs to win it as usual

Going boring with a Chiefs win against Lions.

 

If (or when) Vikings don't win it, then I hope it's Bills or Lions

I'm going to dramatically underestimate the Chiefs. I don't think they'll skate by the seat of their pants like they have in so many games this season (even if that is a sign of a good team). Can see them getting dismantled by someone.

 

Would like the Lions to at least make the Superbowl. Going for a Ravens-Lions Superbowl and the Ravens coms out on top.

 

*(Cut to the day after the Superbowl as the Chiefs beat the Vikings 34-31 in overtime after having been down 10 going into the final quarter)*

If I was a betting man I'd go Chiefs, they just know how to do what needs to be done in the biggest games.

 

I don't really trust the Ravens in the playoffs, we've bottled it too many times in recent years but I do think on our day we are the best team in the AFC. If we can't win, I wouldn't begrudge a win for the Lions or the Bills. I just hope it isn't the Chiefs.

I've got into the NFL more this season, well I've followed the early games through the Red Zone most weeks  

Chose Buffalo to 'support' earlier in the season, mainly because I think the games look cool in the snow  

So g'won the Bills..

[goose2010]

If the Lions hadnt lost Montgomery through injury i would have given  them the best chance of beating the Chiefs as their back field is by far the strongest in the league. 

 

Bills are good but beatable and i just dont think the Chiefs have really got out of second gear all season. 

 

Commanders Vs The Buccs will be a great game. 

 

The Buccs have been great to watch this year for excitement and the Commanders have it in them to do well too.

As someone who used to make the drive down to Buffalo in the late 80s and early 90s, I'd love to see the Bills finally win one.

 

That being said, I still think the Chiefs are the best bet to win it again.

 

I feel like there's maybe 4 different teams that could make it from the NFC.

[bovril]

Think it'll be Chiefs vs Eagles again. Don't think the NFC North teams are that reliable. 

[lildave3]

I’m ready to look stupid but there is no way the Chiefs win it again and I’d honestly be surprised if they make the Super Bowl. Bills and Ravens are both better and I’m definitely biased but even Chargers could run them close. NFC wise I can’t see past Lions but Eagles are good too. 

[Golden Fox]

There is really something about the Lions this year. (My 49ers really should have won it last year, but they were getting schooled by the Lions in the Playoffs: somehow turned it around and got through, but the Lions have moved up a notch from there & look even better this year, and I think after that disappointment from last year, they will go one better and get to the Superbowl).

 

The Chiefs have looked so ropey at times this year despite pulling out result after result somehow. I know they did at times last year before pulling it together at the end, but I think they must be exhausted after so many games in the last few years and their luck has to run out (please!). I don't trust the Ravens in the AFC, so I'm going for the Bills.

 

I think the Lions then freeze on the big stage & the Bills finally take the Lombardi.

 

(Amended to add that I came up with that all by myself - despite realising I've just echoed @CheeseHead's prediction right at the start!)

Rams game has been moved to Arizona, unsurprisingly. Can't imagine it will be easy for the players to be focused on the game with what is going on in LA though.

Depends who their opponents are. 49ers have Cleveland away on their schedule for next year. 

 

And are interviewing Robert Saleh for a return as Defensive Coordinator.

I’m in the anyone but Kansas camp but would love for the Ravens to do it for Jackson and Henry though.
