The Detroit Lions may not be in the NFL playoffs, but that doesn't mean we have to completely ignore the postseason. There are some intriguing matchups this weekend, and there should be some great games in the coming weeks.
Which teams will ultimately end up in the Super Bowl, and which team will emerge as this season's champion? Here are my 2014 NFL playoff predictions:
Wild-card round
NFC
(3) Eagles beat (6) Saints
(4) Packers beat (5) 49ers
AFC
(4) Colts beat (5) Chiefs
(6) Chargers beat (3) Bengals
Divisional round
NFC
(1) Seahawks beat (4) Packers
(2) Panthers beat (3) Eagles
AFC
(1) Broncos beat (6) Chargers
(2) Patriots beat (4) Colts
Conference championships
NFC
(1) Seahawks beat (2) Panthers
AFC
Super Bowl
Admittedly, this is kind of a boring set of predictions since I have nearly all of the higher seeds winning. However, my Super Bowl prediction before the start of the season was Seahawks over Broncos, and I'm not about to change that now, so I'm sticking with that matchup and that result.
What are your playoff predictions for 2014?
