The MOF playoff picture was solved entering Week 18, with the only thing to battle for was seeding. Last edition we saw the playoffs expand by 1 team in each conference, and now we have 6 wild-card games! Also including the extra game, we could see a champion with 20 wins in one season! That's extraordinary. With the MOF playoffs, its always a crap shoot. Just because you were dominant in the regular season, doesn't mean you will be dominant in the playoffs. Despite the unpredictability our staffers and I have sent in our picks for the playoffs! I hope you all enjoy.
*Remember all these predictions are very in depth. We go game by game with the current schedule and predict games 1 by 1 and that's how we come up with our algorithms. Remember this is all in good fun and for some, some bulletin board material! Enjoy

AFC:
We actually saw two new teams enter the playoffs this season, with the addition of the Bengals and Dolphins!! As we start, I must mention that the Raiders coach was removed from the league in Week 18, so Coach Bubba (Chiefs) will be the interim coach for the post-season. That being said, the wild-card matchup I see the Bengals giving the Raiders all they can handle, but the Raiders have too much talent there and I think they will squeak by the Bengals. I like the Jaguars to upset the Colts, as Coach Boobie's playoff struggles continue. And we already saw the Dolphins beat the Chargers, and to be honest i probably would have picked the Chargers to win that game, so im surprised. In the divisional round, i think the Dolphins continue their run and defeat the interim coached Raiders 31-27. Then i like the Browns to beat the Jaguars 34-21. I am very high on the Browns coming into the playoffs, I mean they only lost 1 game. So i expect them to defeat Miami in the AFC title game and move on to the Super Bowl.
NFC:
We saw a new division winner in the NFC, the Eagles won the NFC East over Washington which was a surprise to many of us. Other than that, we saw the Cards swap in and Seahawks and Rams swap out of the wild-card. Speaking of which, although the Cardinals ended the season with a huge win over the 49ers, I see the Panthers being too much for Arizona as they move on. I like the 49ers to beat Washington in what could be the game of the wild-card weekend, by a score of 31-30. I like the Bears to beat the Eagles in his debut MOF playoff appearance as well. In the divisional round, i see the Packers getting by the Bears and I see Coach Q's Panthers beating the 49ers to get to their 2nd straight NFC title game. I think this game is going to be one for the ages, but I cannot pick against the Packers until they lose. I like the Packers to beat the Panthers 35-29 to get to their 4th straight Super Bowl.
I really like this Super Bowl matchup between the Browns and Packers, it's going to an interesting game. I see the Browns jumping out to a lead, maybe 10-3 or 17-3. Then the Packers to adjust and come out in the 2nd half with a huge comeback. I like the Packers to win their 4th straight Super Bowl by a score of 23-20.
