Wild Card Weekend

Analysis: Some familiar faces and a couple of new faces. I do like the
Indianapolis Colts to take care of business, but outside of that, I actually prefer all of the wild card teams. The
Denver Broncos and
San Francisco 49ers will likely come in with better records than the #4 seeds. Additionally, I think the
Detroit Lions may be suited for the playoffs and it always seems like a #6 seed gets at least one win.
Divisional Round

Analysis: I hate picking chalk, but when doing preseason predictions it's really hard not to -- you really prioritize the teams that you like at the top. I feel like the best potential upsets here are Indianapolis and San Francisco, but I'm going to pick all of the home teams to win. The
Cincinnati Bengals,
Kansas City Chiefs,
Chicago Bears, and
Seattle Seahawks all advance.
Conference Championships

Analysis: Just like in the NFL, there may be a rivalry brewing between the
Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs. So far, Cincinnati has had their number and I think Brady Tinnin makes it to the Super Bowl. In the NFC, I like the
Seattle Seahawks to make a return trip to the big game, but try not to fall into the same steps as Daren Roberts Dolphins and win on their second go around.
Super Bowl LII
over
Analysis: Unfortunately for Seattle, I do like the
Cincinnati Bengals to take home the trophy this year before they officially hand the reigns over to Jared Goff. Seattle will have to attempt to make it back-to-back-to-back to win the trophy for themselves.
