NFL Playoff Predictions Contest: Conference Finals

[Canadian Cheddar]

We are now reduced to three final games to determine our contest winner, and secondly that Super Bowl thing. The divisional round surprised us when the presumed NFC champion Lions fell to the Commanders. All of our pickers had picked Detroit in that one. Meanwhile, the Chiefs, Eagles and Bills all won at home. One surprise in there, but we certainly have four worthy finalists vying for a shot at the big game.

All are welcome to play. You must have all picks in by Sunday, 2:00 pm CST.

Rules
If you guess a correct individual team score, regardless of correct winner: 5 points each.
If you pick correct winner on at least half the games scheduled for the weekend: 50 points.
100 points if you pick both Conference Final games correctly.
60 points for picking the Superbowl winner.
25 points is you pick the margin of victory in LIX.
If you pick correctly on at least 66.66% (Wildcard Round) OR 75% (Division Round) of the games: 75 points
If you get all but one of the games correct: 100 points ** Only applies towards Wildcard Weekend
If you nail the correct winner on all games: 150 points ** Only applies towards Wildcard & Divisional Round Games
If you guess both the correct winner and score of any game: 125 bonus points tacked on for each correct score.

Commanders 31 @ 27 Eagles
Bills 25 @ 24 Chiefs

I made the same picks. You call it bucking the trend, I call it desperation.

 

[Calebs Revenge]

Gonna go
Philly *24* vs Commies 20
Bills *27* vs K.C. 24

 

[Calebs Revenge]

I'm rooting for the bills because I still have a special place in my heart for all those fans that lost four Super Bowls in a row I can't even imagine the horror.

 

[Guacamole]

Eagles 27-20
Bills 27-26

 

[Voyageur]

Eagles 27 - Commanders 24
Chiefs 27 - Bills 20

 

[Heyjoe4]

I'm shamelessly going along with DoUrant and predicting with my heart rather than my head:

Commanders 27, Eagles 24
Bills 34, Chiefs 27

I really would love to see a Commanders/Bills SB. If it comes down to that, it would be hard to be disappointed with the winner. The Bills are looooooong overdue, but a rookie QB taking home the Lombardi? As I said, either result is a winner.

And if it's Eagles/Chiefs, I'll probably wash my car, even if it's below zero, and avoid the game altogether.

The teams who have lost four straight SBs are Buffalo, Denver, and Minnesota, right? Denver finally got their wins, the first one at our expense. I hope I live out my life without seeing a Lombardi go to MN. As for Buffalo, I could get behind that team this year, although I like the Jayden Daniels story a little more.

Buffalo's four runner up finishes from the 1991 to 1994 Super Bowls didn't seem to get their coach Marv Levy down too badly. He's still alive at age 99. Levy did win two Grey Cup titles for the CFL's Montréal Alouettes in 1974 and 1977. Levy was entertaining to watch whenever the officials wronged him. I can still picture him giving it to the referees.

 

[Poppa San]

Commanders 31 - 28
Chiefs 20 - 24, refs +10 to Chiefs. Final Chiefs 30-24

 

[Guacamole]

The Bills game is going to be so scrutinized that the Chiefs won't be the getting calls, as in the past. That's why the Bills will win.

Commanders 27, Eagles 24
Bills 34, Chiefs 27

And that my friends, is how you go 0-2

Disappointed to have Eagles vs Chiefs twice in 2the last 3 seasons. Oh well, 88 days until the NFL Draft in Green Bay.

You're not alone.

Feel sorry for the Bills fans. Buffalo has a great QB but inept HC and inept OC. They are are destined for "near greatness" unless they dump both. Opposite side of the same coin - we Packers fans have a great HC and an inept QB. Unless we dump our QB we are destined for "near greatness." Honestly, would anyone trade Josh Allen for Jordan Love straight up?

Trade Christian Watson and Jordan Love for draft picks. Bring back Aaron Rodgers for one season with Davante Adams, and roll the dice..
