NFL Playoff Picture Unfolds: Chargers-Texans Kick Off Postseason, Lions Secure No. 1 Seed And Bye
The NFL season is winding down, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. This weekend's action will see the Chargers and Texans kick off the postseason, while the Lions will secure the No. 1 seed and a bye in the first round. Here's a look at the latest standings and what to expect in the playoffs.
AFC
The Chargers clinched the AFC's No. 5 seed with a win over the Broncos in Week 17. They will host the No. 4-seeded Texans in the Wild Card round on Saturday. The Texans won the AFC South with a 12-4 record, but they lost two of their last three games of the regular season.
The top three seeds in the AFC are the Chiefs, Patriots, and Ravens. The Chiefs have won 12 straight games and are the heavy favorites to win the AFC Championship. The Patriots have won 11 of their last 12 games, while the Ravens have won eight of their last nine games.
NFC
The Lions clinched the NFC's No. 1 seed with a win over the Packers in Week 17. They will have a bye in the first round of the playoffs and will host the winner of the Wild Card round game between the Saints and Vikings.
The Saints won the NFC South with a 13-3 record, while the Vikings won the NFC North with an 11-5 record. The Saints have won three of their last four games, while the Vikings have lost three of their last four games.
The top two seeds in the NFC are the Rams and Saints. The Rams have won eight of their last nine games, while the Saints have won four of their last five games.
Playoff Predictions
Here are my predictions for the NFL playoffs:
- AFC Championship Game: Chiefs over Ravens
- NFC Championship Game: Saints over Rams
- Super Bowl: Chiefs over Saints
The Chiefs are the most complete team in the NFL, and I think they will be too much for the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. The Saints are also a very good team, but I think the Chiefs' offense will be too much for them in the Super Bowl.
Conclusion
The NFL playoffs are always exciting, and this year's playoffs should be no different. There are several teams that have a chance to win the Super Bowl, and I'm looking forward to seeing who comes out on top.
