OWENSVILLE, MO-This year the playoff bracket will be hard to predict from both leagues. In the NFC, there are about five teams who are going to dominate, and a few teams left for one wild card spot. The AFC is very hard to predict because there are three teams that have shown they are playoff teams. The rest of the teams have a lot to prove in the AFC.
The NFC is loaded with teams who could end up winning the Super Bowl. The five teams I think will automatically make the playoffs are Seattle, San Francisco, Atlanta , New Orleans, and Green Bay. Other teams do have a chance, like Philadelphia, Washington, Tampa Bay, Arizona, or St.Louis. They definitely have talent ,however, there is only one spot open because those other teams have proven that they are better.
I have Seattle winning the NFC West and being the number one seed. From the same division San Francisco has the second seed. That means both teams with a bye will be from the NFC West. My third seed is Atlanta coming out of the NFC South. The fourth and fifth seed will be between New Orleans and Green Bay, with New Orleans being a wild card and Green Bay winning the NFC North. The NFC East used to be the powerhouse division in the NFC, but many of the teams have had downfalls besides Philadelphia, who has a new coach in Chip Kelly and they look very good. They are my sixth seed, winning the NFC East in front of the Redskins, where RG3 is not healthy. The Giants look terrible and Dallas does not have a run game.
The AFC is definitely not the powerhouse conference. Although, there are three teams right now that could end up competing up with the NFC champs. Denver, Houston, and New England are the teams that could compete against the very talented NFC. There are many teams though that are talented but, have not proven themselves. Like, the Bengals, Ravens, Colts, Chiefs, and Chargers.
If injuries do not affect the Broncos, they will sure be the top contender for the number one seed in the AFC and win the AFC West. The other playoff bye will be between Houston, who wins the AFC South, and New England, who wins the NFC East. I think it will go to Houston because of their defense and because New England does not have any receivers. I have Baltimore getting the first wild card and the fourth seed. The fifth seed and the second wild card goes to Kansas City who is very talented. Alll they needed was a quarterback and a coach the last couple of years and they have that now so do not be surprised if they go even higher with the talent they have. Winning the AFC North and taking the sixth seed will be Cincinnati. They are very raw, but it could definitely happen in Cincinnati.
The matchups in the first round of AFC Playoffs will be New England vs. Cincinnati and Baltimore vs. Kansas City with Denver and Houston having the two byes. I have New England and Kansas City winning. Second round matchups are Denver vs. Kansas City and New England vs. Houston. Denver and Houston are the last two left and Denver will beat Houston to win the AFC.
In the NFC, the first round matchups will be Atlanta vs. Green Bay and New Orleans vs. Philadelphia. Philadelphia and Atlanta will come out on top. Second round matchups will be Seattle vs. Philadelphia and San Francisco vs. Atlanta. Seattle and San Francisco come out on top and Seattle defeats San Francisco.
That means the Denver Broncos will face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. This matchup is Offense vs. Defense. Offence being Peyton Manning who looks better than ever and arguably the best set of receivers he has ever had. Seattle’s defense will not be enough to handle Denver’s offense and veteran leadership. I have Denver winning 34-14.
