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

AFC:
Wild Card Round: I think the Titans run game and dynamic QB will be too much to handle for the Steelers as they will advance to the divisional round by a score of 35-24. I think the Colts/Bengals will be the game of the week as I believe we will see a high scoring affair. I like the Bengals to edge out the Colts here, 41-38. The Jets and Jags are an interesting match-up, but I think the Jags experience will loom large as they knock off the Jets 27-14. Divisional Round: The Bengals and Titans will be an excellent heavyweight battle. I think the Bengals have the defenders to flatten the QB read and that will force Roc to throw and make mistakes, I like the Bengals to beat the Titans 34-28. The Raiders and Jaguars are turning into a nice rivalry but i still like the Raiders defense to edge out the Jags here 21-17. AFC Championship: New waters here for the Bengals as they will battle the Raiders for the AFC title. I think Cincy will get out early but the Raiders defense will prove to be too much to handle as they go on to win and represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, 27-23.
NFC:
Wild Card Round: The 49ers already beat the Seahawks as we wrote this, but I would have predicted the same. The 49ers pass game is evolving into the best in the MOF. I like the Commanders to upset the Vikings here in a tough game, 34-30 but not a bad showing for JeromeMP's first ever playoff appearance. The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints should be an interesting game. The Saints enter the playoffs with a losing record and I think the Cowboys are the better team here and will show it, 35-17. Divisional Round: The Cowboys will put up a really good fight against the 49ers here, but I expect the 49ers to win this game. Since there's no dev players here, it will be more of a traditional score of 41-34, 49ers. The Eagles and Commanders meet again! I really think Betts can beat Witness here, but i'm not going to bet against the defending champs. I like the Eagles to win this game 33-30 in overtime. NFC Championship: The Eagles and 49ers meet once again, the Eagles seem to have the 49ers number for whatever reason and I dont think anything changes here either. I like the Eagles to repeat as NFC champions and get to the SB by a score of 28-20.
SUPER BOWL 68:
This is going to be a great Super Bowl. The Raiders and BigReub make their first SB appearance, but its against the defending champs who blew out the Titans last Super Bowl. I expect a close hard fought defensive battle but for the Eagles to repeat by a score of 24-17.

AFC:
In the wildcard round, I see the Jags barely escaping the Jets in a close matchup. I think the Colts go on the road and upset the Bengals. In the final wildcard matchup, the Titans will win a turnover fest in Tennessee by both teams. In the divisional round, I have the Raiders beating the Colts and the Jaguars getting by the Titans in a very close game. The AFC Championship game will be a good one but I have the Raiders getting by the Jaguars and heading to the MOF Super Bowl 68!!!
.
NFC:
In the wildcard round, I have the Niners beating the Seahawks in a division playoff matchup. The Vikings will take care of the Commanders at home in Minnesota and the Cowboys will go on the road and take care of business against the Saints. In the divisional round, I have the Cowboys upsetting the Eagles on the road in a battle of NFC East foes. I also believe the Niners will squeak by the Vikings in a very close game to head to the NFC Championship game! The NFC Championship game will be a good high scoring game but the Niners will get by the Cowpokes in the high scoring affair to reach MOF Super Bowl 68!!!
SUPER BOWL 68:
Season 68 MOF Super Bowl will pit the San Francisco 49ers against the Las Vegas Raiders in a west coast battle for the title. I believe this will be a very close matchup but I think the Niners will escape with the victory and the MOF Super Bowl!!!!
