Last week: 2-2
Overall: 5-3
We saw some great games in the Division round, and now we’re left with the best four teams remaining and a chance to play in the Super Bowl on the line.
(5) Browns at (3) Chargers
Both these teams won on the road in the Division round to get here. The Chargers shocked the Jags while the Browns beat their rival and perennial playoff opponent Ravens. The Browns hot streak just won’t seem to end and they won in Baltimore, a considerably tougher place to play than L.A.
Prediction: Browns defeat Chargers
(2) Eagles at (1) Saints
While both top seeds in the AFC lost in the Division round, the top two NFC teams handled business and will face off to determine who plays in the Super Bowl. The Saints and rookie QB Rhett Hackett have been great this year, but the Eagles showed what they can do knocking off the defending champion Cardinals in a convincing win.
Prediction: Eagles defeat Saints
Super Bowl Prediction: (5) Browns vs (2) Eagles
