Random fan's homer prediction for the playoffs

[smash_n_dash]

Of course the final prediction is we win the Superbowl, but I just want to take a moment and lay out the ground work of how it will happen.

1. SF wins tonight

2. We win next week

3. Seattle loses on the road in a late season melt down next week

4. SF wins on the road next week

With that, we'd be number 1, SF is number 2, Seattle is number 5 and Saints are number 6. The following playoff outcomes occur:

1. Seattle is knocked out in round one to GB

2. Saints win a close one against Dallas in round one

3. Panthers play Saints and win convincingly

4. SF wins an easy matchup against GB

5. We take care of business and beat SF by 10

6. We beat Cincinnati in a shoot out, 33-30, in the SB

What do you think?

Cincinnati?

No way, I say either we beat Foxy and the legendary Manning...

OR

We beat Tom Brady for sweet sweet revenge.

BUT

I'll take a win over the Chiefs just as well.

[RoaringRiot]

After our first two games with the Saints I absolutely agree we would win convincingly.

[PghPanther]

I'll take a win at Atlanta next week and then figure out things from there.........

If we win next week we're 12-4. If Seattle loses, they're 12-4. But they own the tiebreaker for head-to-head wins, so we'd still be #2

Not if SF wins out

Right. If SF wins out and SEA loses SF wins their division bumping SEA down to a wildcard. Thus giving us the #1 seed if we win too.

We would be #2 because we beat San Fran.

I must be missing something here. So if San Fran wins out they win the division, is that it? 

[Chimera]

If all that does play out, Seattle won't lose to Green Bay... even if it's a road game and the tundra is frozen.

And my money is on Philly over Dallas. Then, of course, Philly over the Stains.

Since #1 seed gets the lowest seed, that puts Seattle back in Charlotte for the Divisional round.

And I think San Fran easily disposes of Philly.

If Seattle loses to STL and SF wins out then SF wins the West. Seattle would be #5 seed

[lightsout]

Ah, the weekly "looking way too far ahead" thread with at least one comment saying "let's just win Sunday".


Way to stay on schedule, Huddle.

I think cincy will make it to the SB because I think they're the most well rounded team in the AFC and they're hot right now. They're like us in many ways and if we think we're going to the SB then it goes without saying our counterpart in the AFC will too

Ok, got it. I just assumed Seattle would still win the division. Wouldn't that be a nice surprise? Both Seattle and NO sitting in wild card spots? Id much rather chance playing in San Fran than Seattle.
