26CornerBlitz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 By The MMQB Staff November 08, 2017 Good luck finding a consensus when it comes to Super Bowl favorites this season. Eighteen members of The MMQB/SI NFL staff took a crack at predicting the postseason, and each voter's bracket is below. As for who we think is going to Minneapolis in February, no one got more than half the vote. AFC CHAMPION: Patriots (9 votes), Chiefs (5), Steelers (4) NFC CHAMPION: Eagles (9), Seahawks (4), Rams (2), Vikings (2), Saints (1) SUPER BOWL LII CHAMPION: Eagles (4), Patriots (4), Steelers (3), Chiefs (2), Rams (2), Vikings (2), Seahawks (1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm okay with this. I think I would cry tears of joy if the drought broke this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I like the second illustration better...but I can't lie: I'd take either scenario. Have to handle our work at home and vs. SD first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopscotch Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Not sure if I should be happy that so many of the analysts picked the Bills to make the playoffs... or if I should just be objective and realize that they probably see the AFC as a weak conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If we get in my dream is the Saturday night game at home vs Marrone and the Jags, but that's almost impossible. HOWEVER, Saturday night in Jax might be likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 losses whereas most of the teams in the hunt below us have 5. We also have tiebreakers on a lot of those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I just want someone other than NE to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Assuming it's not the Bills, I want to relax on the couch, no stress, and hope for a close back and forth game. A nice Eagles/Chiefs SB would be fun If the Bills don't make it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I could see a scenario where we get to the AFC Title game... We go to JAX (South winner) and take them out in the wildcard. Meanwhile, the Titans (wildcard #2) take out KC (West winner) in the wild card round because the game matters so KC will stink. Divisional round We get Pittsburgh, who can be beaten. especially since Ben loves his INT. Meanwhile, NE gets a bye to the AFC Title game by facing the Titans, who stand in for the Texans this year as NE's practice session for the title game. Bills/Pats for the AFC Title!

Homefield advantage is real. I like our defenses chances vs the steelers tho. Rothlisburger gets INT happy sometimes and we look like we can scheme that into existence. I wonder how this years offense would do compared to the egg they laid last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Anyone thinking the Rams win the Superbowl needs to have their head examined. They have a long way to go to get where they need to be, though they will be a contender. The Falcons have too much work to do as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I like Klemko's version. I guess its too much to ask the Bills to beat the cheats three times in one season though Edited November 9, 2017 by JMF2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Please no NE in the SB. I can't do another one. Too much stress, and those idiot Falcons crushed me last year. If Seattle and Atlanta call running plays Brady isn't "undeniably the GOAT." Edited November 9, 2017 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the same pieces still in place I expected way more from them offensively. I don't see how he keeps his job beyond this season. I also think this is a testament to Shanahan's system and his play calling abilities. He has gotten the absolute most out of the pieces he is given everywhere he has been.

Its like having a gun. You got enough rounds in it and clips in your pocket your bound to hit something....but a mark-smith will hit his targets consistently regardless of ammunition.

Also yes the Rams have played great and could very well make the SB but Hoodie would do what he always does and make an offense like that look terrible. Pats are likely repeating regardless of who they play in the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
