Who makes it out of the AFC?

[Wireman]

I never bet against the Patriots.

[TheDeuce]

What I want to happen (how I voted): Steelers

 

What I predict will happen: Patriots

As long as NE ends up the #1 (need Oakland to lose @ Denver or NE to win @ Miami), I'll be shocked if the Patriots don't come out as the SB rep.

Agreed.

 

Pittsburgh has the offense to win the Super Bowl. They don't have the defense. Not even close.

[GrantNKY]

Pats.

In order of likelihood:

Pats

Chiefs

Steelers

Dolphins

Raiders

Texans

I hate it for Raider Nation that their QB is hurt. As a fan of that game, I just hate to see that happen to any team, especially after their success.

Pats are a solid favorite IMO but the Chiefs scare me right now. If they get the 2 seed and get a week off and then most likely play the Steelers in their first game at home, that would be must see TV. The only teams that ever seem to beat the Pats in the playoffs are the Broncos and Ravens...neither are in it so it looks good for the Pats.

Sadly I think it's the Steelers and Pat's in the AFC championship game, with the Steelers winning. Without Gronk, I think the Steelers defense holds the Pat's offense down enough for the Steelers offense to out score them.

[Bengal Maniac]

The Pats and I don't think it will be close. I do believe it will be the Steelers/Pats in Championship game.

[LIPTON BASH]

Pats are favorites in AFC but I think there are 3 NFC teams that can beat them.

 

For storyline alone I'm rooting for Giants/Pats

[StickerMann]

Patriots seem like the logical candidate, but something tells me KC will have a say in this?

[plantmanky]

I would have said the Raiders till Carr got hurt. Pats are the only logical choice now.

[NEERFAN]

I want to say KC but I know they'll lay an egg on the road.

[Run To State]

The Pats unless Brady somehow gets sidelined.
