Play off perdictions?

On aside note, one thing that really stuck out seeing the Rams in person was Aaron Donald's quickness. I just focused on him for many of the defensive sets and even though he was double and even triple teamed he was a monster...if the Rams do get into the Super Bowl, he might be the difference. I sat in the 49er section Sunday and while smack was flying in all directions one common agreement was that AD was a man among boys. On the flip side, San Fran's Kittle is a stud, the Ram's had no answer for him...he broke Kelce's record by one yard for most yards in a season by a tight end...even if in garbage time.

If the LA Chargers can get by the Baltimore Ravens, then they will likely go to the Superbowl.

Going with my heart, I think a Rams/Chiefs rematch could be the best Superbowl in history so I'm hoping that is the outcome.

Tossing out a bracket and having some fun with it:

Week 1 (Jan 5/6):
Texans over Colts
Seahawks over Cowboys
Chargers over Ravens
Upset: Eagles over Bears just because. Defense wins championships but there is something about the Eagles clawing back into this that feels like a potentially dramatic sports moment is brewing.

Week 2 (Jan 12/13)
Chiefs over Chargers in a divisional match-up that could go either way. Possible contender for best game of the post-season. <-If the Colts beat the Texans, this will end up the AFC championship game in week 3 instead.
Texans over Patriots in the other divisional match-up, and the Brady era goes out with a whimper.
Saints over the Eagles. Guess that dramatic sports moment was just week 2 hype.
Rams over Seahawks, showing the baton has passed in the NFC West.

Week 3* (Jan 19/20)
Chiefs over Texans because of course Chiefs over Texans.
Rams over Saints in what could be a fun barn-burner of a game.

* If week 3 turns out to be Chiefs v. Chargers and Rams v Saints, this could be an amazing couple of games and make the Superbowl anti-climatic...or hype up what ends up being an even more insane game.

Superbowl
Chiefs over Rams, Mahomes MVP. Sets record for most combined points in a superbowl.

This is hard for me to say, as a die hard Rams fan, but I was at the game Sunday and Goff missed to many open relievers, and panicked when rushed...the 49ers had four turnovers early that lead to the blow out.

I bet the networks are begging for your match ups, that would be a marketing goldmine.

Welp, I'm 0 for 2 going into today. The Colts/Texans match up was a tough one to pick but I seriously didn't think the 'boys would get past the Seahawks. Given the Eagles over the Bears prediction was made as a bit of a joke, it looks like my bracket is a week 1 bust.

The Chargers did not match up that well against the Ravens and lost to them 22-10 two weeks ago. This is going to be a tough game for the Chargers, but if they can get by with a win against the Ravens today, I think that they will be going to the Superbowl.

They had a great win over the Chiefs just a couple of weeks ago but I would be very hesitant to say they will win that match-up again. They could, and Rivers probably deserves a ring as much as any QB in the league without one. But that looks like too significant of a match-up to say they should go to the Superbowl with a win today, in my opinion.

Defense wins championships, so the saying goes, and while there was some good defense, the Bear's, Ravens, and even the Seahawks, arguably the best defensive teams lost? Go figure...

The Chargers have a pretty good defense. The Bears would have won their game if it wasn't for that double bounce field goal miss.

Was 2-2 for the weekend, although my 2 losses were by a total of 3 points. Watching that missed Chicago field goal hurt.The game had one of the most bizarre calls, where a completed pass was ruled incomplete because no one picked up the ball after it was fumbled after the completion. -

My revised predictions:

Chiefs over Chargers
Patriots over Colts

Chiefs over Patriots

Bears over the Rams over the Eagles
Saints over the Seahawks Cowboys

Saints over Bears Rams

Superbowl:

Saints over Chiefs
