2018 NFL Predictions

NFC Championship - Minnesota Vikings v Philadelphia Eagles

NFL Playoffs Wild Card Week (Winners in Bold)

AFC

Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers

Houston Texans at New England Patriots

NFC

Green Bay Packers at New York Giants

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings

The Los Angeles Chargers are too good of a team for the second year Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to succeed, and the Los Angeles Chargers win this Wildcard game handily. The New England Patriots are too wise for the young Houston Texans, they play the possession game to a tee and win the game. The Green Bay Packers roll into Hoboken, NJ and take care of the New York Giants as Aaron Rodgers is determined to take this team to the promised land after his big payday. The Mitchell Trubinsky and Khalil Mack era in Chicago is just starting, and Minnesota Vikings get a feel for that. Minnesota Vikings win a somewhat close game because of strong defences.

NFL Playoffs Divisional Week (Winners in Bold)

AFC

New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers at Jacksonville Jaguars

NFC

Minnesota Vikings at Atlanta Falcons

Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams

The New England Patriots roll into Pittsburgh and take on the Steelers. The old New England Patriots would somehow found a way to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they will have no answer for the trio of JuJu Smith-Schuster, Le'Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh wins the game. The Los Angeles Chargers make it a nightmare for struggling Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles. The Jacksonville Jaguars might be looking for a new quarterback in the offseason. Los Angeles Chargers destroy the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Minnesota Vikings will upset the Atlanta Falcons. The Minnesota Vikings defence will shut down the high powered offence of the Atlanta Falcons, and Kirk Cousins will have his best game as a Viking. The Los Angeles Rams will destroy the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers will have no answer to the Los Angeles Rams potent defence and will give Packer fans no time to R-E-L-A-X.

NFL Playoffs Conference Week (Winners in Bold)

AFC

Los Angeles Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers

NFC

Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams

Home field matters in the conference final games. The Conference finals start, and everyone thinks this is Los Angeles Chargers year, but alas it is not. Ben Roethlisberger will have one more chance at the Super Bowl. Roethlisberger will guide the offence one last time and squeak out a win against the mighty Los Angeles Chargers. The Los Angeles Rams dominate the Minnesota Vikings, letting them know that the Rams defence can win the Super Bowl all by itself. Too bad it could have been the Los Angeles Super Bowl, will have to wait for it next year.
