Saints will have to travel away from their Home Dome advantage and play two outside games, one of them probably being in the frozen tundra. The Jackson led Ravens have been on a nice run but will have to beat Mahomes led Chiefs and a much improved defense which they have yet to do.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Just put $100 at 8-1 at MGM Las Vegas. Pretty good value for a team with a legit shot. Ravens are big favorites in the AFC now for good reason. Only legit threat If they don’t crap the bed is KC. And we’ve got a some tough challenges to get that chance. Packers are gonna get the 1 seed and be really tough to beat at home. So I’ll say Packers vs Ravens if Baltimore doesn’t have to play KC. Super Bowl 1 rematch if they do.

I'm afraid I'd get sick of it before the game ever started. and then you'd have the MVPat v ARog comparisons along with the Dawson v Starr. I almost want to puke thinking about it and if the Pack won???.. Give me an F'n Break Mloe68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamixoye 604 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I think we CAN beat anyone and I feel like this is our best shot in my lifetime, but (probably) not having a bye and (probably) needing to play two road games is going to increase the level of difficulty by a lot.

If Chiefs beat a much maligned NE again, which I think they would, and Buffalo or Houston beat the rusty overconfident Ravens the Chiefs could host the AFC Championship Game again.

We can also get the #2 seed if we win and the Patriots lose. These (long-shot, IMO) possibilities were alluded to in my two uses of "(probably)".

moons314 2,463 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have a hard time picking the Chiefs after decades of them leaving us in heartbreak. I will say that I don't buy the Ravens as being a Super Bowl team. They remind me of our teams from the 90s, play defense and run the ball, without a legit big time qb. I know the North American media has been sucking off Jackson for the better part of the season, but he's still a running QB that relies on his legs and the threat of the runners around him to move the offense. If the already anointed league mvp is forced to drop back 35 times, the Ravens are going down. I just don't think that team is nearly as good as its record. In regards to the Super Bowl I will say this. I think the Chiefs are the only AFC team capable of winning the Super Bowl. If any other team makes it, the NFC wins with ease regardless of who is there. Personally I think the Saints are the favorite, and the Chiefs are the only team that can match up with them.

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Packers aren’t good. Only teams in nfc that have a shot are saints, 49ers and a distant 3rd seattle. Afc only teams with a chance is kc and baltimore. im going kc over saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 AFC: Chiefs NFC: If 49ers beats Seattle this week, Saints drop to the 3rd seed and will have to play at Lambo with Packers having two weeks to prep....I just don’t see the Saints getting that win. So that should leave Packers vs either 49ers or Seattle(don’t see Eagles beating Seattle). I’m saying Packers get to Super Bowl IF they play every game at Lambo, other wise I’m going 49ers. 49ers seem like this years Rams /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh will overthink the games and go with analytics vs gut and changing when needed. IMO Baltimore will not be the AFC representative.

If we had the same playoff draw as last year I’d be unbelievably confident we were headed for Miami. Not the way it works though. Tough road ahead but I think we are legitimately capable. I just hope we’ve saved our best for last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their entire dynasty could fall that day so we can be sure we’d get every trick they have in the book and some unseen scheme to try and confuse Mahomes. No doubt the Ravens will be rooting hard for them too. No way NE can win in Baltimore. We can though. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamixoye 604 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I forget the exact stat but it's also worth mentioning that there is a streak going back several years now where only teams with a bye even make the Super Bowl. Obviously a few wild-card round teams have won, like both Eli Giants teams and Aaron Rodgers' only win, but it's a much harder road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all consistent with what I said. Wild card teams have won it in the past. I couldn't find the stat directly, so I just had to scroll through Wikipedia pages to figure it out myself. Baltimore in 2012 was the last time a team that didn't have a bye even MADE the Super Bowl. So in the last six seasons (2013 through 2018) both teams to make the Super Bowl have had a bye. Not a terribly long streak and not impossible to overcome, but not very encouraging for teams playing on the first weekend (#3 through #6 seeds).
