I swept through the divisional round, getting all 4 games correct. That included my correct prediction on the Buffalo Bills, who should start to worry about their window closing faster than they think. So let's get to the title games.
Niners @ Eagles: No rookie QB has ever made it all the way to the Super Bowl (the closest I think was Mark Sanchez with the Jets) and for some reason, I think that will continue. Purdy didn't look great against Dallas (he looked better than Dak), and Philly's defense is not a major step down from Dallas'. I think Philly wins a close game and the Niners have a QB dilemma on their hands.
Victory: Eagles
Bengals @ Chiefs: I originally was going to go with the Bengals. But then I began to think. First off, the Bengals are really playing up their ownership of the Chiefs of late with the whole "Burrowhead
thing. That's a bit disconcerting. Secondly, the reason the Bengals were able to shut down the Bills was that the Bills are kind of one dimensional. The Chiefs are not. And the name to watch out for is Isaiah Pacheco, the ex-Rutgers running back. He has been a difference maker for them. And I think he will be the difference in this game.
