With only eight teams remaining, one of those teams is destined for greatness. How will it play out?
Divisional Round
AFC
Titans @ Patriots
Tom Brady vs Marcus Mariota. Bill Belichick vs Mike Mularkey. Robert Kraft vs Bud Adams. Good team vs bad team.
Final Score: 32-15, New England
Jags @ Steelers
Jacksonville needs to find a way to score points. Especially when you go from 52 degree weather to 5 degree weather.
Final Score: 20-7, Pittsburgh
NFC
Falcons @ Eagles
The Falcons are back. Nick Foles won’t be able to beat a strong Falcons squad, and Philadelphia will stay home.
Final Score: 35-6, Atlanta
Saints @ Vikes
Minnesota is good, but the Saints are better. Kamara and Ingram are a terrific backfield tandem, and Minnesota has nobody to stop them.
Final Score: 17-7, New Orleans
Conference Championship
AFC
Steelers @ Patriots
In a grudge match, the Steelers will finally beat New England. The Patriots will have to deal with all of the B’s for the first time, and they won’t like that.
Final Score: 24-23, Pittsburgh
NFC
Falcons @ Saints
Drew Brees will go back to the Super Bowl and the Falcons will be denied their NFC Title repeat. Atlanta just isn’t good enough.
Super Bowl LII
Saints vs Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger will go out in style, winning his third Super Bowl. It’ll be close, but the Steelers will pull away from New Orleans.
Final Score: 28-26, Pittsburgh
Super Bowl LV
Texans vs 49ers
Deshaun Watson and Jimmy Garoppolo will lead their teams to great seasons, and then meet in the Super Bowl. In a game that should be a slugfest, San Francisco will surrender a last-minute touchdown pass t
I want a Saints / Steelers Super Bowl, too.
Interesting Super Bowl LV prediction! I do like Deshaun Watson and I’m hoping he can recover from his injuries.
