This feels like the first year I can't say "ok that team will win their first round game, easy".
Every one of those games has layers of drama/mystery/matchup issues. The biggest "upset" is probably the Packers winning but would it really surprise anybody if Dallas shit the bed and/or Mike McCarthy did something stupid?
I take a little of that back, Lions over Rams might be the "easiest pick" but it wouldn't be too shocking so see Stafford send the Lions to the off season since a good QB can carve them up.

I feel like this field is wide open. I picked the Ravens because theyโve looked more consistently strong than pretty much anyone else.
Kind of want the Browns to win it all and Flacco to get SB MVP though just as an FU to Watson. ๐

I'd be absolutely stunned if the Steelers win in Buffalo. The Bills might not be world-beaters, but they're peaking at just the right time, and Pittsburgh will likely be without their best player in T.J. Watt. Every other game this weekend, yes, I could be sold on either team winning. |

Main reason I stray from that one is every game I think the Steelers are done for they win, and every game I think Buffalo has it in the bag they piss it away. It's "a stoppable force vs a moveable object" type of game. |

They should have all the teams who didn't get in the playoffs have their own tournament, like the NIT.
The winner could win a free sub from Subway.

Miami is gonna come into KC on Saturday night when it is expected to be snowing and feel like -16. I want to heavily favor KC in that, but Miami is 6th in the league in rushing yards, 1st in yards/carry, and tied for 1st in rush TDs. Also, 7th in the league in run defense. In gritty game, they should be the favorite. But they're also a warm-weather team and just don't come off as a run team. They're a speed team. |

At this point I'll be happy if the Eagles even make it out of this round, they look as bad as I've ever seen them with this much talent...

Would I be surprised if they slip up and lose in the divisional round? Nope, but f*** it, I'm going all in on my Ravens in the AFC. 49ers in the NFC. NO MORE BEING A COWARD.

I think from a story perspective I'm rooting for a browns/lions superbowl. 2 long time suffering fanbases with a chance at greatness.
But my actual prediction is Ravens/Cowboys
