Play off perdictions?
The NFL playoffs are set and to tell you the truth it is wide open...I think. Is KC and Saints/Ram's the clear favorites?
I am a huge Rams fan but I am not sure they are playing good enough, Goff seems off and Gurley is banged up...but their defense looked good yesterday.
Seattle and the Colts are sneaky good, and maybe the Chargers get it all together. At anyrate I think it will be fun and exciting playoffs.
I am rooting for a Rams / Chargers super bowl. My dark horse is Seattle, and I don't know who the favorite is? If I had to pick one I will go Saints.
Thoughts?

I think the why is Mahomes and Andy Reid...I just don't know if their defense can get them through...If your right it will be a great Superbowl...imagine the hype?
What would be funny is if New England somehow wins it all.

This year nothing would surprise me, watch Dallas win it all, that would be heartbreaking for this Rams fan.

Re: Play off perdictions?
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.

Re: Play off perdictions?
I would love to see a rematch of the Rams and Chiefs. That was a classic game. But defense wins championships, so I'll predict a Chargers-Bears Superbowl.

The Bears certainly have the defense as do the Chargers...I am not sure if the Bears can win on the road like the Chargers can...but who knows...Mack and Bosa would be a awesome story line...I read Hunter Henry is going to play so that adds to the charger weaponry.

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.
