My Niners are back in the playoffs - here's what I expect to happen.
Wild Card:
AFC: Houston d. Buffalo
New England d. Tennessee
NFC: New Orleans d. Minnesota
Philly d. Seattle
Both 5/4 games are jump balls; no outcomes would surprise. Both 3/6 games should be chalk; a New Orelans loss would be really surprising.
Divisional Round:
AFC: Baltimore d. Houston
Kansas City d. New England
Chalks is really likely in the AFC, particularly the Ravens.
NFC: San Francisco d. Philadelphia
New Orleans d. Green Bay
I'll be rooting for the Eagles in that Seattle game; not because they aren't as good as Seattle, they are, but I don't need another Seahawk game this year, I've gotten all I can out of those 120 minutes. The Saints are significantly better than the Packers
AFC Championship: Baltimore d. Kansas City
-The Ravens are the team you should pick; this is a close matchup and neither result surpises, but Baltimore's the best team in football (spoiler)
NFC Championship: San Francisco d. New Orleans
-Also close, similar to the AFC title, the Niners are the best team in the NFC and while they could lose to the Saints (but not the Packers or Eagles or Vikings) pick the Niners
Super Bowl: Baltimore d. San Francisco
-As the Bengals were to my team in the 80s, we are to the Ravens and they edge us out again.
