Non-scientific, who you think is going to make it and win.

Buffalo vs Detroit

5th time's a charm as the Bills take it all

Buffalo / Detroit is a pretty safe bet. Bucs / Ravens or Lions / Chargers would be fun too.

I like Buffalo to win it this year though.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is how it ends up.

Hard to predict, though. For me, anyway...I'm less informed than usual this year.

I do think it would be cool if the Chiefs three-peated. Just because.

I also wouldn't mind seeing the 3-peat, but mostly to see Chiefs conspiracy theorists lose their minds.

Lions - Chiefs

Lions win it all. They go big before losing both coordinators this off season. Both Johnson and Glenn show everyone why they are sought after HC candidates.
Bears are actually dating the Prom Queen, who would have thought it?

I don't know if I could get into Chiefs / Eagles. Really hoping for some combination of Lions / Bucs and Bills / Ravens / Chargers

Ok but the Lions offense has to be on fire during this loss.

Why is no one going with the Bears? Bears vs. KC and we win by 32.

I saw this posted elsewhere:
The Ravens win the Super Bowl every 12 years by scoring 34 points with a 28 year old quarterback

2001: 34-7 with Dilfer (28)
2013: 34-31 with Flacco (28)
2025: 34-? with Jackson (28)

So much for that.

Darnold? WTF? Did he revert back to JETS QB or what?

Oh well. Now I will root for the Lions and the Rams in the NFC and Ravens and Bills in the AFC.

Chiefs will win. It won't matter who they're playing.

So this went exactly as predicted, Chiefs v Eagles. Playoff football , and the #2 and #4 defenses make it to the SB. Defense is still super super important, particularly in the playoffs

Not really excited about this matchup. I should be, but, I am not. Should be a great game, two tough Ds and that KC O. If Barkley can break off a couple of 20+ yd TD runs, Philly will win.

Lived in KC before moving to Chi. Chiefs are my 2nd tram after the Bears. Plus they're going for history. Plus, DAMN, Andy Reid is a great coach without being a Belichick ahole.

Pretty boring matchup IMO. Would imagine that the Chiefs win though.

I think that's pretty accurate.

Looking at all the teams that made the playoffs, this may be my least preferred match up.

I'll make a prediction as we get closer. Would love to see the Eagles pull the upset (well, love is a strong word here), but it seems unlikely.

The Eagles this year remind me of what the Bears could have been in 2018.

Yeah I’m going with the Eagles.
Great run game
Very good passing game
Dual threat QB.
Big ass defense
Taking a break from screen time for Lent. Wish me luck. :thumbsup:

I think the Eagles will win this time around. KC has been scraping by with one score victories all year. Nobody has ever won 3 in a row.
Eagles have a monster run game, good passing, Dual Threat QB and a killer defense.
Bears are actually dating the Prom Queen, who would have thought it?
