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

Well we saw a crazy season didn't we? We saw a bunch of turnover, we saw some coaches switching teams, but after all the hecticness we did not see many sims, which is incredible. Anyway, to the predictions. The wild-card round should be a good one. In the AFC i think the Chargers offense is going to be too much for the Bills to handle, and i expect an upset by Roclo there. I like how hot the Raiders have gotten and I expect them to defeat the Titans. I think the best game of the wild-card round will be the Browns and Chiefs, which i have the Browns eeking out a 27-24 win over the Chiefs. In the NFC, i think the Cardinals and 49ers game could be a really close one, but I like the 49ers to sneak out a 30-24 win. Coach Betts and Washington has been the hottest team since like Week 5, so I don't see any issues for Betts beating the Falcons. I also think the Panthers/Bears game will be a really good one, But i like the Panthers to squeak out of there with a win, 31-28. In the divisional round in the AFC, I think we're going to see some fantastic games. I really like Chargers/Colts matchup, even though the Colts blew them out a few games ago, i think this game will be closer. I still think the Colts will end up on top in a close high scoring battle. I really like the Raiders/Browns matchup as well, but I still think the Raiders defense will hold strong. In the NFC, it's a little more clear to me. I think Betts' WFT will get by the 49ers, and Mack's Packers will get by the Panthers. Both games will be close until the 4th quarter where both teams should pull away. The AFC title game, I have the Colts beating the Raiders in an extremely close and fun game 35-31. In the NFC I have the Packers and MackDaddy getting by the Washington Football Team and Coach Betts by a score of 24-19. Setting up a Packers/Colts Super Bowl.
I see the Colts jumping out to a quick lead, but the experience of MackDaddy will keep him composed for a nice comeback and a 2nd straight Green Bay Packers title. 28-26.

Starting with the AFC, I see the Chargers upsetting the Bills in the wildcard round to send them to the Colts in the divisional round. I believe the Raiders are going to hold serve and defeat the Titans. I also see the Chiefs getting the upset over the Browns. Browns just have not looked like themselves lately and I think the Chiefs will take advantage of that. In the Divisional Round in the AFC, I have the Colts defeating the Chargers in a runaway game and I see the Raiders finally getting over the hump and finally beating the Chiefs in a very close game to set up the AFC Championship game between the Colts and Raiders. I have the Colts defeating the Raiders in the AFC Championship and heads to the Season 63 MOF Super Bowl. In the NFC, I have the Niners beating the Cardinals in a close one. Cardinals somehow backed their way into the playoffs and I think the struggles will continue in this one. I see the Washington Football Team running away with their game against the Falcons. No slight to the Falcons but I just think Washington has too much for them. I also believe the losing playoff streak will continue for the Panthers as the Bears will upset them in the wild card round. The NFC Divisional Round, I have the Packers beating the Bears in a closer game than what others may think. I also have Washington beating the Niners in a close one as well setting up the NFC Championship game between two MOF vets, Betts and Mack. In a seesaw battle, I see the Washington Football Team upsetting the Packers on a last possession type game to send Betts to another MOF Super Bowl.
In the MOF Super Bowl, I have the Washington Football Team barely escaping a good Colts team and winning the Super Bowl 31-28. Another CHIP for Betts is my prediction.
