NFL playoffs are here!

I'm going to stick to my preseason prediction. I got the Seahawks coming out of the NFC, and the Patriots coming out of the AFC. So a Super Bowl rematch of last year. I think the Seahawks are on a mission to avenge their heartbreaking loss in last year's Super Bowl. I think they get revenge and beat the Patriots 23-17.
What do you think?

The real action is me, using that new $1.3 G stadium for feeding Christians to Lions.

The AFC is irrelevant this year. IRRELEVANT.
The Seahawks, Panthers and Cardinals from the NFC are all way above any team from the AFC.

If the Panthers will play to their potential they'll definitely go to the Superbowl, AFC is a coin toss.
Back then there was no salary-cap and the good teams could put together and maintain dynasties and well-rounded teams.
With today's salary-cap it seems almost all teams have glaring weaknesses whether it be on offense or defense and most teams are unable to keep many of their good players b/c of salary-cap restrictions.
I have not really followed the NFL much this year; but it seems AZ may be the team w/ the least weaknesses/deficiencies.
Patriots--I think will win.
The Seahawks are my second favorite team, and they're a six point favorite on the road. If I was a betting man I would not take the points, the Seahawks are gonna kill the Vikings.
Marvin Lewiis' playoff record is now oh for the History of time.
And this loss is squarely on the shoulders of the head coach. He can't control his players. Stupid plays and penalties lost this game.
The Steeler vs Cincy game was unlike any game I ever saw(and I've seen a lot).
My Steelers won!!!
Don't know how or if they deserved it.
Ppl on both sides can give valid arguments. For example Ryan Shazier should have had a TD on that fumble he recovered on the helmet to helmet hit on the Cincy RB.
Unfortunately for Pittsburgh I gotta guess Antonio Brown will miss next weeks game against Denver. Ben R will probably play though and RB DeAngelo Williams.
Pittsburgh's fortunate for the win so can't complain.
Regardless - I'm happy for the win and we have an extra day for everyone to hopefully get as healthy as possible.
Not too shocked the Bengals lost. They've been pretty mediocre since Dalton got hurt.
Moving on to the Super Bowl....... There are 9 potential intriguing matchups in that some teams could play "The Avenge Bowl"- e.g. playing a team that beat them in a prior SB with an opportunity to avenge the loss. Potential matchups follows with loser listed first, then winner, and year of subject Super Bowl. Here goes:
Chiefs vs Packers (1967-Super Bowl I), Steelers vs Packers (2011), Patriots vs Packers (1997), Broncos vs Seahawks (2014), Cardinals vs Steelers (2009), Panthers vs Patriots (2004), Seahawks vs Steelers (2006), Seahawks vs Patriots (2015), Packers vs Broncos (1998).
