New thread for the playoffs.

Really don’t understand going Chiefs-Steelers in the prime time slot for Sunday. They’re gonna put a game with a 15.5 point spread in the biggest slot of the weekend?
I mean, yea, Big Ben back in the playoffs, we get it…. But wow.
I figured they’d go Cowboys-49’ers and hype the rematch of the 90’s dynasties all week long.

That made no sense to put the most uncompetitive game (on paper) in the Sunday night slot. I would have bet on 49ers and Cowboys but not sure NBC had first pick...

*I think the winner comes from the Rodgers/Brady match that i'm pretty confident will happen. I went with Green Bay because Brady is down 2 of his 3 top WRs and I expect Davante Adams will either be doubled or feast on Tampa's secondary.
*The best game of this scenario and one I hope will happen is Bills-Titans round 2. Eight lead changes the last time these two met, and both teams were in good health at that time.
*The most dangerous team from the NFC that makes me nervous about my predication is the Rams. In the AFC its the Bengals.
*The teams I think have no shot at getting to the SuperBowl - Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Arizona. Of those 4 the one that gives me pause is Arizona, but I see no way without Hopkins. Las Vegas is playing well, but I think Cincinnati's offense is too potent.
*Even if it ends in defeat to Green Bay we are once again going to be shown why Tom Brady is the best to ever do it.

It will be weird ( but a good thing ) seeing the Patriots playing on the road in a playoff game.
