For the past couple of years, before the first game of the season, my buddy and I have guessed the teams we each think will make the playoffs and go on to win the Superbowl. Last year, we both had the Ravens winning the big game. I had them playing the Falcons. My buddy had them playing the 49ers. Obviously he won, and I had to buy him dinner.
Anyways, here are my picks for this year.
Me:
AFC:
1. Broncos (bye)
2. Patriots (bye)
3. Bengals
4. Colts
5. Ravens
6. Chiefs
Wildcard Round:
#3 Bengals v. #6 Chiefs = #3 Bengals
#4 Colts v. #5 Ravens = #4 Colts
Divisional Round:
#1 Broncos v. #4 Colts = #1 Broncos
#2 Patriots v. #3 Bengals = #2 Patriots
Championship game:
#1 Broncos v. #2 Patriots = #1 Broncos
NFC:
1. Falcons (bye)
2. Niners (bye)
3. Cowboys
4. Packers
5. Seahawks
6. Redskins

#4 Packers v. #5 Seahawks = #4 Packers
Divisional Round:
#1 Falcons v. #3 Cowboys = #3 Cowboys
#2 Niners v. #4 Packers = #2 Niners
Championship game:
#2 Niners v. #3 Cowboys = #2 Niners
SUPERBOWL:
